The Capitol Police has started a new initiative to better protect members of Congress, Chief J. Thomas Manger plans to tell House lawmakers at a hearing Thursday about how District of Columbia crime is affecting congressional operations.
The department is in the process of constructing what it calls a Protective Intelligence Operations Center to consolidate those efforts, Manger said in prepared testimony before the House Administration Committee.
The initiative will create a command center for the department’s Protective Services Bureau that will intake reports of threats against members, monitor residential security for lawmakers in leadership and analyze intelligence.
