A lone watchman, John Golding, was hired to protect the Capitol Building. After a number of incidents occurred in 1827 that could have been prevented with sufficient security and surveillance, President John Quincy Adams asked that a regular Capitol Police force be established.</span></p><p> </p><div class="align-left media-item media-image default"><div class="image__field-media-image"><div class="field__label font-weight-bold visually-hidden"> 474 Image </div><div class="field__item"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/evo-subsites/uscp.house.gov/files/styles/large/public/evo-media-image/photo-USCP-in-1854.jpg?itok=o6oxWb7F" width="480" height="381" alt="Photo of USCP in 1854" class="img-fluid"></div></div></div><p><span>On May 2, 1828, Congress passed an Act that expanded the police regulations of the City of Washington to include the Capitol and Capitol Square. It is on this date that the USCP commemorates its founding.</span></p><p> </p><p><span>With the passage of this Act, Congress brought the responsibility of policing the Capitol under the direction of the presiding officer of the House and Senate, and empowered the Capitol watchmen with full law enforcement authorities. The new force consisted of a captain and three men who worked fifteen-hour shifts when Congress was in session and ten-hour shifts at all other times. Their area of authority did not exceed the neighboring walks and streets adjacent to the Capitol Building.</span></p><p> </p><div class="align-right media-item media-image default"><div class="image__field-media-image"><div class="field__label font-weight-bold visually-hidden"> 475 Image </div><div class="field__item"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/evo-subsites/uscp.house.gov/files/styles/large/public/evo-media-image/Lincoln%27s-Second-Inauguration-1865.jpg?itok=ahGMRVWk" width="479" height="355" alt="Photo of President Lincoln's Inauguration" class="img-fluid"></div></div></div><p><span>The responsibility of the Capitol Police was transferred from the Commissioner of Public Buildings to the Sergeants at Arms for the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in 1867. In 1873, the Capitol Police Board was established, and the Architect of the Capitol was added to the Board.</span></p><p><span>By 1935, the Capitol Grounds footprint was expanded to 126 acres. As a result, the head of the Department requested additional officers to augment the 132-man force, which consisted of men ranging from 19 to 75 years old. The Captain of Police also asked to adopt the same standards held by the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia (MPD), and Congress authorized the Capitol Police Board to establish specific qualification requirements. The Act of July 31, 1946, recodified the earlier authorities and responsibilities of the Department in one Act and formed the fundamental basis for the statutory authorities and responsibilities of the Department and Capitol Police Board to such an extent that subsequent authorities generally have been conferred as amendments to this Act.</span></p><p> </p><div class="align-right media-item media-image evo-image-portrait-480"><div class="image__field-media-image"><div class="field__label font-weight-bold visually-hidden"> 476 Image </div><div class="field__item"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/evo-subsites/uscp.house.gov/files/styles/evo_image_portrait_480/public/wysiwyg_uploaded/1st%20Women%20Officers%201974_0.png?h=372a8c6a&itok=WSg2OWKV" width="180" height="240" alt="1st Women Officers 1974 " class="img-fluid"></div></div></div><p><span>In 1974, the Department's first female Capitol Police officers were hired, thereby providing new opportunities for women wanting law enforcement careers. In 1979, President Jimmy Carter signed Public Law No. 96152, establishing a chief of police for the United States Capitol Police. The role had previously been held by MPD Captains and Assistant Chiefs in an ex-officio capacity. Public Law No. 96152 was the catalyst for the Department's transition into the modern era.</span></p><p><span>The USCP expanded its force after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, following the historic merger with the Library of Congress Police in 2009, and after the attack at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Currently, the Department has an authorized sworn strength of more than 2,000. In addition to the sworn members of the force, the Department has more than 350 civilian personnel who provide operational and administrative support. The USCP's diverse workforce is comprised of employees from nearly all 50 states and the U.S. territories.</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><div class="align-left media-item media-image default"><div class="image__field-media-image"><div class="field__label font-weight-bold visually-hidden"> 477 Image </div><div class="field__item"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/evo-subsites/uscp.house.gov/files/styles/large/public/evo-media-image/USCP-USCapitol.jpg?itok=vcK5dHfj" width="480" height="319" alt="Photo of USCP staff at the U.S. Capitol" class="img-fluid"></div></div></div><p><span>Today, the USCP embodies the best in American policing and serves as a model in security, crime prevention, dignitary protection, specialty response capabilities and homeland security.
