Its not like these people just start their day off from home. This isn't some 9-5 office job.
They go to an office and park their cars (probably trucks) in the same lot, they kit up in a locker room and spend an hour shooting the shit with all their bros, and then talk about who is wearing what subtle things so they can tell Jenkins from Thompson at a distance. They know each other. They hang out at each other's houses on the weekends. Their kids play together. They know who is supposed to be there that day. They have a game plan as to who does what. They chit chat about music and guns and the weather and cars and TV shows quietly in the downtime.
These people are not you. They can tell when someone else just shows up. They are organized when required, idiosyncratic about key details when needed, and hierarchical. An outsider only gets a pass when a CO tells them the outsider is OK.
Yes, but inter-agency coordination is notorious.
I think you meant to finish that the inter-agency is notoriously bad at communicating and informing each other. Yes, that's true, but unless the OP situation plans to identify themselves as the FBI with fake badges, credentials, and possibly even paperwork that the subject's lawyer can corroborate, it's not going to go well.
Might make some good fiction. IRL would make for a lengthy prison term.
