IANAL, but they'd not be official forces so it'd presumably be a different analysis. But I don't know? And what if they get somehow deputized? I'm thinking here of the American Protective League during World War I. It was a volunteer organization but operated under the imprimatur of Justice.

I believe the phrase was that the American Protective League was "organized with the approval and operating under the direction of the United States Department of Justice." It numbered 250,000 at its peak.
