About 15 to 20 years ago, the IRS-CI (Criminal Investigation) had their office in the same building in Merrillville where I worked. While the IRS had a "retail storefront" in another area of the building, the CI, had a completely separate, unmarked suite with a built-in, room-sized gun vault. I saw it after they moved out. We knew exactly who was where because several of the partners owned the building and knew who they leased to.
More than once when I was working late, I would see several Crown Vics getting lined up and windbreaker-wearing feds from the IRS, FBI (its Merrillville office was about a block away), and sometimes the DEA (the aforementioned windbreakers helped me keep track) getting the vests out and confabbing before an operation.
The couple of times I remember, I think it was taking down drug traffickers. Yes, drug traffickers get charged with tax law violations.
