FBI

Added: Actually there are many such law enforcement organizations within the Federal Government which have so-called "unlimited jurisdiction" and to the above can be added;

the US Marshall's Service - Immigrations and Customs Enforcement - US Secret Service - The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms - The US Park Police - The Executive Protective Service - and probably several more which escape me at the moment.

They are ALL Federal Officers and all have nationwide jurisdiction.

While their primary mission may be the enforcement of select laws and regulations they are lawfully empowered to make arrests for ANY violation of federal law ANYWHERE within the US.
