The United States Capitol Police (USCP) is a federal law enforcement agency responsible for protecting the U.S. Capitol Building, members of Congress, and visitors to the Capitol complex. The agency is tasked with maintaining security and order within the Capitol grounds, conducting background checks on individuals entering the buildings, and responding to emergencies and threats. Capitol Police officers also provide security for large events and demonstrations taking place on Capitol Hill. As a legislative branch entity, the USCP operates under unique legal frameworks. In 2024, the agency adopted a FOIA-like request process making certain records publicly available upon request.
