Here are the latest widely reported updates about the United States Capitol Police (USCP as of 2026):
- USCP emphasizes ongoing threat assessment and protective measures for Congress. They publicly noted continued increases in threat assessment work, with thousands of cases investigated in recent years, including 2024 and 2025, reflecting heightened focus around elections, members, and staff.[2][3]
- The agency continues to publicize incident response capabilities, including activating the Public Information Officer during major events to communicate life-safety information to the Congressional community and media, and to coordinate with federal partners on major threats or emergencies.[4][2]
- USCP frequently posts press releases about specific security incidents and investigations, such as false bomb threats being investigated and other coordinated protective actions around the Capitol Complex. These releases highlight interagency collaboration and security posture during high-profile events.[2][4]
- For official, up-to-date statements, the USCP maintains a news and press-release hub where they publish threat assessment statistics, incident responses, and public safety guidance.[5]
