In Day 1 of Hoxton's Housewarming Party, we see Commissioner Garrett getting a call from an agent at the DHS saying they are putting Force Z (Zeal) on alert due to the crew becoming more infamous and hitting bigger targets.

The same also applies to the FBI, which is called the "Federal Department of Intervention" on the director's pc in hoxton breakout.

They're "paramilitary". They're a unit tied to the Department of Homeland Security.

They're not military, as the military cannot operate in the United States as civilian law enforcement under the Posse Comitatus act.

So really, I think they're just a super secret government paramilitary unit that skirts around Posse Comitatus.

I don't believe it's due to copyright. I think it's because in certain "scenarios", or what have you, such as video games like Payday, they can't use government entities like the real FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigations). It's the same reason why in GTA, it's the FIB (Federal Investigations Bureau), not the actual FBI.

That makes sense, though I was talking more about the name being changed than the reason it was changed, but yeah that is a pretty logical explanation.

oh ok, ty. I assumed it was copyright because I know some games like Game Dev Tycoon never actually use the actual titles like "Playstation". Game dev uses "Playsystem"
