DOJ arm (3)

I believe the answer is:

fbi

(Other definitions for fbi that I've seen before include "Initially, J Edgar Hoover's law force" , "J. Edgar Hoover's organisation" , "US law enforcement agency" , "law enforcers" , "J. Edgar Hoover long its director" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the LA Times.
