Audit of United States Capitol Police Workforce Diversity

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted an audit of the United States Capitol Police’s (USCP or Department) diversity program. Our objectives were to (1) identify and assess the diversity program(s) within the Department to determine if the program is yielding the desired results, creating a more diverse population of women and minorities in top leadership positions (Senior Level and GS-15, or equivalent); (2) evaluate the accuracy and completeness of complaints and discrimination data being reported to Congress; and (3) assess to what degree the diversity office is independent of the Department's General Counsel and the agency head.
