The Federal Protective Service (FPS), as part of the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS), is responsible for providing security services to about 9,000 federal facilities. In recent years, FPS downsized its workforce from 1,400 to about 1,000 full-time employees. In 2008, there was concern about the impact that downsizing had on FPS's mission. In FY 2008 and 2009 Congress mandated FPS maintain no fewer than 1,200 employees.

The Federal Protective Service (FPS) is the primary agency responsible for the security of over 9,000 federal government facilities across the country. The fiscal year 2010 DHS appropriations act transferred FPS from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD), within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
