The nice thing about snooping on EDW from the

SD, can't "visit" with you. ;-)...

It might be a dept policy of base sec
and/or KCSO but in CA, all LEO's are
authorized with police powers anywhere
in the state. Not all states are similar.

It's typical in border areas between counties,
even states, for the 'other' area's sheriff to
deputize everyone that may have occasion to come
into the area, including pvt security, like cammos.

City police, park rangers, armoured car guys,
gated community guards, etc. particularly anyone
that's armed, are typically deputized.

Maybe more likely, in the case you describe,
they know it's you and you're not a threat.
Just another one of those 'nosy UFO people'.
Isn't there an audio tape somewhere of
Dreamland telling a Janet that "It's Glen
Campbell" on Freedom Ridge?

They might figure that while you're there,
if something truly suspicious DOES surface
in the area, you'll probably phone it in.
