Inspection of the United States Capitol Police Office of Professional Responsibility

The United States Capitol Police (USCP or Department) Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) oversees administrative investigations relating to the conduct of Department personnel as well as inspections of its organizational components. OPR also records and investigates allegations of misconduct by USCP employees generated from within the Department or outside sources.  The Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted an independent inspection of OPR. Our primary objectives were to determine if the Department (1) established adequate internal controls and processes for ensuring the integrity of its program, 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 Calendar Year (CY) 2015.
