How do you verify the PGP key for a random LEO? The web of trust is a total failure for general use verification, it only solves the special ultra-paranoid use case.

Key distribution has always been the weak point of PGP.

You would use something like WKD and not the web of trust. https://wiki.gnupg.org/WKD

DHS already has a portal LEOs use to collaborate - would be pretty easy to set up something at the federal level - if there was the will.

Government institutions are some of the best places where centralized certificate handling/signing infrastructures shine.

And yet it's basically impossible to get a government organization to sign emails except internally using MS Exchange's encrypted email support.
