USCP Fast Facts

1. The United States Capitol Police (USCP) dates the Department’s founding to 1828, the year police regulations in Washington, D.C., were expanded to include the Capitol and its grounds. This empowered the four Capitol watchmen with full law enforcement authority.
    
2. In fall 1974, the USCP hired four female officers, including Arva “Marie” Johnson, the first African American woman to wear the USCP uniform. 
    
3. Today, the USCP is comprised of more than 2,300 officers and civilian employees, and has an annual budget of approximately $460 million.

5. The USCP is a CALEA-accredited law enforcement agency that has been recognized for demonstrating an “enhanced delivery of public safety services through the effective use and compliance to the standards representing the best practices within the law enforcement industry.”

Two points:

1. That is more than $1 million for each senator and representative each year.
2. Office Sicknick is not included in the number of USCP law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty.

Congress was notified of the possibility of incursions on January 6th, Donald Trump offered to provide National Guard for more security which was declined and it appears that Antifa had maps of the Capitol provided to them by inside sources prior to January 6th.

It seems that these officers were set up by the Congressmen these were supposed to protect. When is the National Guard leaving Washington, D.C.?
