Our scope included the Specialty Assignment Pay Program, Hazardous Duty Pay, Physical Fitness Incentive Program, Plainclothes Pay, Firearms Proficiency Pay, and Field Officer Training Pay during FYs 2005 through 2007.
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.
