- vincentmarle 6y agoRight, the annual Capitol Police budget alone is $550 million.
- kelchqvjpnfasjl 6y agoA police force of 2200, just for one building. Compare that to the Atlanta Police Department which has 1800 officers for a city of 500,000+ people and a size of 136 sq miles.
- hindsightbias 6y agoNot one bldg. There are multiple House and Senate offices and the Library of Congress. It's a huge complex which does not seem well designed from a security standpoint. I don't know if they've fixed that, but after 9/11 it was a mess of access.
- therealdrag0 6y agoFwiw multiple police/security leaders have been fired or forced to resign due to this.
