WASHINGTON — The Capitol Police would receive a significant funding boost under President Joe Biden’s proposed fiscal 2024 budget, according to figures released Monday.
The proposal — part of a $6.9 trillion budget blueprint — designates $841 million for the department, a 14% increase over the roughly $735 million enacted in fiscal 2023, which itself was a 22% increase over the previous year.
The department has sought funding increases after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and increasing threats against members of Congress and their families.
