U.S. Capitol Police to open California office following Jan. 6 attack
LA Times ^ | July 6, 2021 | Sarah D. Wire

The U.S. Capitol Police on Tuesday announced that the agency was opening regional field offices in California and Florida to investigate threats to members of Congress in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Threats against members of Congress have increased in recent years. As of Tuesday, total threats so far in 2021 were double what they were at this point a year ago, according to Capitol Police.

Home to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco), House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield) and other prominent members of Congress, California gives the law enforcement agency a Western base to investigate claims of threats made against members. The state is also home to the nation’s largest congressional delegation.

The field offices will be in the Tampa and San Francisco areas, according to Capitol Police.

The police agency rarely provides information to the public on how it operates, citing security concerns and member safety. For example, unlike other government agencies, the internal watchdog’s reports are not publicly available.

A spokesperson did not answer questions Tuesday about how many staff would be hired or what the cost to taxpayers would be.

The spokesperson said other regional offices were expected.

Kick-starting the NATIONAL POLICE FORCE run by the BLM. And yes, LOTS of BLM’ers in the Cap-yo-ass Poe-leece.

We've seen how they operate. They gun down without question or due process or consequence any citizen who dissents.

An opening towards federalizing all law enforcement.

the real threat is that they execute Americans,
even unarmed women veterans, without fear, without
accountability BECAUSE THEY CAN.

they execute Americans in the Capitol itself,
and ignore it. What is next? Their guillotines
for conservatives? for anyone reading the Constitution?

Under what jurisdiction does the Capitol Police operate under when they are not in DC? The governor of Florida should send them packing.

Don’t we have an FBI for this? What the heck are the Capitol Police doing anywhere but the Capitol? Can the Dallas Police set up shop in Seattle?

"Under what jurisdiction does the Capitol Police operate under when they are not in DC?"

That's also my question. Doesn't their charter restrict their field of operations to the Capitol?

Mr. Robinson has been very generous to host a forum where people can express their frustration with members of Congress - but I have noticed, in recent years, some people with their tippy-toes right on or over the line.

I don’t think the California office of the Capitol Police Force is going to be accepting “I just got a little carried away” as a reason to discuss various gruesome methods of execution that anyone thinks should be applied to their least favorite congressman/woman.

We wouldn't want the citizens to know just who is being spied on..
