My father worked for them for 30 years and was a Sargent. He also worked many Ignogerations for many presidents through the years. His name was Officer Sgt. William E Stevens. In the information on Washington DC Capitol Police or uscp under the legal jurisdictions section I was wondering if you guys could also add that they often work security and the parades for the Ignogeration events. If not I understand and thank you for your consideration. Sincerely Daughter of DC Capitol Police Sgt. William E Stevens GOTLov3r (talk) 10:16, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

management/organization

The Capitol Police Board says that the two Sergeants-at-arms and the Architect of the Capitol oversee the USCP. Do they appoint the Chief of the USCP? Shouldn't something about the management structure be part of this article? --rogerd 20:03, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

The chief is appointed by the Police Board with the advice and consent of the House Administration Committee and the Senate Rules Committee. I don't have any cited info, but try the archives of Roll Call and The Hill for more. With Chief Morse coming on board in the last year, they should have some information on the search for a chief. --Daysleeper47 13:42, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

As someone who clearly sees that Trump has lost this election, I think it is extremely intellectually and morally dishonest to cite matter of factly that fraud did not happen whatsoever. You can have your own personal beliefs on the subject, but there is more overwhelming evidence supporting fraud (probably not on any truly significant vote changing level) in the form of states not following their own voting rules, irregularities in the amount of rejected ballots in relation to other years, and lies being told such as, "Go home, we'll resume counting in the morning", or, "We had to postpone voting in Georgia due to a water leak". Vote counting did indeed continue untruthfully and there was no water leak. If investigations do happen, please write about the findings then. However, at this point, please keep your information accurate as I believe that you do have some otherwise fantastic reading material here! - JZ

picture

The Bike patrol picture is not a picture of Capitol Police but rather a picture of DC Metropolitan Police. Jonjonjonny (talk) 14:56, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Parent agency?

What's the USCP's parent agency? Is it the DOJ or Congress or what? Illegitimate Barrister 11:14, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

It is controlled by Congress and is governed by the Capitol Police Board which are also controlled by congress, so Congress. - SantiLak (talk) 05:41, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

2021 United States Capitol protests

So, are we just going to willfully ignore this agency's role (or lack thereof) in the 2021 United States Capitol protests? BroadSt_Bully ^[talk] 04:39, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Their WILLFUL lack of a response to these protests can be cited. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/capitol-breach-security-failures/2021/01/06/e1e09b80-5061-11eb-b96e-0e54447b23a1_story.html?itid=hp-top-table-main-0106 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.161.20.80 (talk) 11:45, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

2021 riots incorrect link

The paragraph on the 2021 riots contains a link to the British Metropolitan Police Department instead of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia.

Semi-protected edit request on 7 January 2021

I have been a faithful contributor of Wikipedia. After reading this false, biased page I can no longer contribute as this site is now worthless. I know it is impossible to keep out all bias but this pager is an example of a far left wing bias with no basis of true research. Good bye. 50.230.222.50 (talk) 20:26, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Death of Officers on Duty

I see that Snooganssnoogans has removed this section and I guess he's right in his reasoning however 3 out of 4 (with today's news) have died protecting the Capitol against violent offenders and in both cases there are separate pages to the respective incidents too. 2 officers were laid in honor, which is unusual, and I think we'll see the third one as well. Maybe would be worth adding it back as "Notable deaths of officers on duty" or something similar? -- KennyOMG (talk) 01:57, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
