The United States Capitol Police (USCP) will open new regional offices in response to increased threats to members of Congress since the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, the police agency announced Tuesday.

The first announced two field offices will open in California and Florida, with additional states expected in the "near future," acting USCP Chief Yogananda Pittman said in a statement Tuesday. The purpose will be "to investigate threats to Members of Congress."

Good.

DC belongs to the Cabal. No longer fit to be the US Capitol. The FL Capitol Police makes sense... offices perhaps near MaraLago?

Knock down the Cabal’s phallic symbol in DC, flood it, and restore it to a REAL swamp, frogs and all.

I'm sure they're looking for the Great White Supremacist boogie man - that doesn't exist. It'll be a cushy job for whatever agents are assigned to those offices.

Meanwhile in Chicago, which has defunded its police department - and has the strictest gun laws in the country:

It also said the USCP are not subject to FOIA requests, how convinient.

hmmmmmm....
I thought the FBI (snicker) or local/state police would handle threats to Congress-critters.
Now we have a special police force to "protect" Congress. I guess that whole "equal under the law" thing is just food for the masses.
The demonRats are showing themselves to be the enemy of the People by setting up special police and tribunals to protect themselves against the people they have sworn to serve.

Gird up theyโ€™re coming for us! The flight will be coming to us. Either we make noise or silently end up like the 6 million Jews herded into boxcars. We are living in frightening times. Trump was the only man keeping these evil forces back. God help us because no one else will.

I am very much against this. Capital Police answer to only one person, the Speaker of the House. A police force that bypasses the separation of powers.

The new Gestapo?

How could ANY of you be happy/not outraged about this?

The most incompetent, poorly trained, inexperienced police force in the country being expanded/extended into individual states. (2 FOR NOW!) Any takers betting against that number increasing?

“The United States Capitol Police (USCP)”

How many United States Capitols do we have?

ONE!

Where is it?

Washington DC, the “Capitol District”. The NON-state, constitutionally created “District” of Columbia.

What possible reason/jurisdiction would The United States Capitol Police (USCP) have in ANY of the 50/57 United States.

The Fuehrer, Nanzy Pelousy, is expanding her “personal” police force, (the Gestapo).

Why aren’t you all OUTRAGED! ?

None that I am aware of. You could argue that they could have authority to protect any federal property but that is already the job of the DHS Federal Protective Service.

This makes no sense.

WTH? Why do we need Capitol police here in Florida? We have FDLE, various sheriff’s departments, local pd’s. Can our governor stop this? These guys answer to Pelosi, not Tallahassee.

Just a shell game to hide the truth.USCP knows the truth about January so they need be hidden and separated to keep leaks controlled.

I thought they were in favor of defunding the police, not expanding the police. Or is that just the police that protect us, not them.
