What kind of federal agent was Phillip Sheppard on the TV show survivor?

Phillip Sheppard was a former "federal agent". He claims he was a Special Agent with the former DIS (Defense Investigative Service) under the DoD (Dept of Defense) which is now the DSS (Defense Security Service). The DSS is NOT a Federal law enforcement organization and does not have police powers. The Special Agent (1811) position IS a sworn Federal law enforcement officer, however, those agents generally conduct background investigations for employees in the DoD/military. The DIS/DSS is not to be confused with the Diplomatic Security Service DSS in the State Dept, which does employ gun-toting/arrest-making Special Agents.

Do Interpol agents carry guns?

Interpol agents do not carry guns as a standard practice. Interpol is primarily a police organization that facilitates international police cooperation and does not have its own law enforcement officers or agents with arrest powers. Instead, it provides support and resources to the police forces of its member countries, which may have their own armed officers. However, some personnel may be armed if they are part of a specific operation or if they are seconded from national law enforcement agencies that allow them to carry weapons.
