it's 2000 officers with an annual budget of $460,000,000!!

https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2021/01/capitol-hill-riot-was-pelosis-fault-not-trumps-daniel-greenfield/


The Capitol Police have over 2,000 sworn officers. A police force dedicated to protecting Capitol Hill has more personnel in its service than the police forces of most of the country.

Congress' private cops are the 19th largest police force in the country. It’s a larger force than the police forces of Atlanta, Baltimore, Denver, or Milwaukee with a massive $460 million budget.

It’s the only legislative federal force in the country that is answerable exclusively to Congress.

$230,000 per officer.

That actually doesn't sound too outrageous in terms of dollars per officer.

I had no idea they had that many officers though.

From the linked article:

“When Black Lives Matter rioters, incited by Democrats and the media, besieged the White House, 60 members of the Secret Service’s Uniformed Division were injured holding the line while President Trump and his family were taken to a bunker. 11 members of the Service were hospitalized due to the violence of the BLM riot that Democrats falsely claimed was peaceful.”

Atlanta's P.D. budget is $218 milliion...

"By a 13-2 vote, Atlanta City Council approved a budget for the year that starts in July with proportions similar to this year’s budget. About one-third of general fund money, or about $218 million, will go to the Atlanta Police Department."

The Capitol is a huge complex, with a lot of checkpoints to man. And they protect the Speaker and certain other leaders 24/7.

It shouldn’t be that big and complicated. But there it is and here we are.

And yet they supposedly need an army brought in to help them guard a stone fortress from a hundred mostly nonviolent guys in costumes.

It doesn't sound that crazy when you consider gear, vehicles, OT, and the fact that they probably deal with more protestors/rioters than most dept.  I'll bet that dept. probably has more extensive background checks, too.

The county PD where I used to live is around the same size and their budget is $530 million. The neighboring county PD has approx 2,400 cops and a $894 million budget.

Back during the mid to late 90's, I was stationed at Marine Corps Base Quantico, as permanent personnel at the Officer Candidate School.

Fun fact, OCS is just down the road from the air facility that's home to helicopter squadron, HMX-1, who's mission is to fly the President.  And as we know, Marine One is a helicopter.  

Anyway, during the time of year officer candidates were not being trained at OCS, the Marine Corps allowed the Washington D.C. Capitol Police to use the barracks and training areas. I don't know if they still do this or not, as I said, this was in the mid to late 90's.

But every class of Capitol Police that came through, they always had a few who were kicked out for stealing from other police officers.

They even suggested that the Marines provide a firewatch for the squadbays they were using because they couldn't trust their own people.  I know we did it for at least one class, because I was Corporal of the Guard one Sunday.
