Follow-up Analysis on United States Capitol Police Controls over Evidence

In a previous audit - the Performance Audit of USCP Controls Over Evidence, Report Number OIG-2015-03, dated March 2015 - the Office of Inspector General (OIG) found that the United States Capitol Police (USCP or the Department) should improve internal controls for ensuring the integrity of physical evidence collected, secured, and processed. As a part of its general oversight responsibility for USCP, OIG conducted a follow-up analysis of the Department's implementation of recommendations contained in Report Number OIG-2015-03. Our objective was to confirm the Department took the corrective actions in implementing the recommendations. Our scope included existing controls over evidence related to the implementation of recommendations as outlined in our previous report.
