The Capitol Police Advancement Act of 2020 aims to increase transparency and accountability within the U.S. Capitol Police. It requires the Chief of Police to publish semiannual reports detailing the department’s operations and activities, and to share data with the Bureau of Justice Statistics. The bill also establishes a separate budget for the Capitol Police Inspector General and ensures that the Inspector General’s reports are publicly available. Finally, it clarifies the process for terminating Capitol Police officers, members, and employees, making Board approvals final and preventing further review.
