Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I remember learning along the line that Postal Inspectors are the only private security force with federal police powers.

Yeah they're weird, and they don't get money from the government anymore except maybe for mailing the the military overseas addresses. But it owes money to the Treasury Dept because they're not always breaking even.
I don't know if any other private security/inspection force are considered federal agents, but I can confirm that these guys are and are the largest. Something to google I suppose.
