Which of the following is NOT a federal agency?

California Highway Patrol
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Drug Enforcement Administration
U.S. Marshals Service

The correct answer is: California Highway Patrol

The California Highway Patrol is not a federal agency; it is a state law enforcement agency responsible for ensuring the safety and enforcement of traffic laws on California's highways. The responsibilities of this agency include patrolling the highways, investigating accidents, and providing assistance to motorists in distress. In contrast, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, and U.S. Marshals Service are all federal agencies operating under the jurisdiction of the United States government. These agencies have broader responsibilities that can include national security, federal law enforcement, and drug enforcement, among others. This distinction highlights the difference in authority and scope of operations between state and federal law enforcement agencies.
