Do you mean something like the office of the inspector general [1], or an actual law enforcement agency focusing on federal agencies? If the latter, you're in danger of proposing an infinitely recursive solution.

A major problem seems to be that 'ex-cops' don't like inspecting 'cops'. However, balancing powers between three entity's seems to work well.

Agency A inspects agency B, agency B inspects C, C inspects A. That way B can't threaten A.

As a bonus it really set's things up so they get antagonistic with each other.
