It depends. There are a couple of factors: (1) The jurisdiction of the federal building, (2) the arrest charge, (3) are the local cops aware what they're arresting for. 1. Jusridiction: There are several types of jurisdiction depending on the "level" of the federal facility. Most federal facilties allow concurrent or proprietary enforcement which allows the locals to make the arrest. 2. Arrest Charge: Generally, arrests that occur on federal property are usually covered under Title 18 of the US code or 41 of the CFR. Here's the nice thing: if an offense that occurs on federal property is not punishable by federal law, the "Assimilative Crimes Act" allows the state law to be used. Example: If someone committed a robbery in the parking lot of a federal building, the locals or feds can use the state's robbery law if it's not listed in the federal law. 3. Most local cops do not know what violation has been committed or under what jurisdiction. Most of the time the feds (Federal Protective Service -FPS) are notified. They are the uniformed law enforcment division of most federal buildings.

Can a US Marshal arrest someone in the military?
A federal marshal does have a wide jurisdiction and can arrest a military official just like anyone else, but normally military police and a military court will deal with a soldier in an arrest case (if it happened on military property or while they are in service (DEPLOYED). Just because you are a soldier doesn't make you any less vulnerable to arrest. A village police officer can arrest a military official if a violation occurs in their jurisdiction. No soldier immunity in the U.S.Cheers!
Can local police arrest someone on a military installation without prior approval from the Installation Commander?
Most agencies have standards of inter-departmental cooperation with which they usually comply. Military installations are Federal Government property and there might be a question of "jurisdiction" if the 'local' police were to effect an arrest on a federal reservation. But - that being said - there are always exceptions to every rule and there would have to be more information given by the questioner to render a more exact determination.
