Performance Audit United States Capitol Police Controls Over Ammunition

At the request of the Chief of Police. the Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted a performance audit of the United States Capitol Police (USCP or Department) controls over ammunition.  The objectives of our audit were to determine: (1) effectiveness of USCP's internal controls over ammunition and ensure accountability of those sensitive items; (2) whether USCP complied with applicable policies and procedures, laws, and regulations; and (3) whether USCP inventory records reconciled to actual ammunition on hand and official inventory records. Our scope included controls, processes, and operations in place from October 1, 2011, through September 30, 2013.
