Evaluation of the United States Capitol Police Disciplinary Process

At the request of United States Capitol Police (USCP or the Department) Oversight Committees and in accordance with our annual plan, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) evaluated the Department's disciplinary process. Our primary objectives were to determine if the Department (1) established internal controls and processes for ensuring that USCP employees subject to the disciplinary process were afforded due process based on transparency and fairness, and (2) complied with applicable policies and procedures as well as applicable laws, regulations, and best practices. Our scope included internal controls, processes, and operations during Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 and FY 2015.
