FBI vs. DOJ background checks?

When I applied to become an US citizen the immigration dept ran a FBI background check. Now that I'm applying to get certified as an Emergency Medical Technician by the Los Angeles County, they ran a DOJ background check. Since both are criminal background checks, I was wondering what the difference is between the two? What does one reveals that the other doesn't?

Answers:
The DOJ is the department that runs the FBI.

The difference is that the FBI usually only checks federal charges, and felonies, plus outstanding warrants.

The DOJ check goes a little deeper at the state level.

hey small guy what happened to you not heard from you in a while.you dont wanna apply for that cos they check into your medical history and they will see you got a weeny named after you foflmao.seriosly tho one of the checks goes into a lot more detail than the other.
