From whatever little I understand, and Cletus I believe stated up the thread, the Capitol Police have no authority outside DC.
Cletus, I respectfully disagree lol.
Read this then read the rest of the DSP of the Capitol Police. (Dept of Strategic Plan). It’s almost scary-
OBJECTIVE 3.4 - EXPAND AND FOSTER EFFECTIVE WORKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH
FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERS is a critical step in informationled policing and Objective 3.4 focuses on the USCP’s law enforcement partnerships. The Department will
continue its work to expand critical information sharing with federal, state and local law enforcement to share
and receive critical information. To protect the Capitol Complex, Members of Congress, staff, and visitors, the
USCP will ensure ready access to other law enforcement entities and open channels for sharing information in
real-time. Partnerships with the law enforcement community strengthen the USCP “protective umbrella” – a key
component of carrying out the Department’s mission.

At a rally in Washington on January 6, 2021, Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani called for “trial by combat”.[21] Trump encouraged his supporters to “fight like hell” and “take back our country”, and asked his supporters to march to the US Capitol.[22][23] Subsequently a pro-Trump[citation needed] protesters marched to Congress where met by a prestaged group of prepared professional agitators with preplaced gas masks, climbing, and vandalism gear who were not at the speech site eventually the building was easily stormed with littled resistance. [24] Congress was in session at the time, conducting the Electoral College vote count and debating the results of the vote.
The rioters breached barricades erected by Capitol Police around the Capitol. Ultimately, one woman was fatally shot by a USCP officer, and three other rioters died in medical emergencies.[25][26] One USCP police officer was also injured during the attack, with another officer who responded to the storming dying off-duty days later.[27][28][29] More than fifty USCP and MPD officers were injured during the attack, and several USCP officers
