As advocates continue to press for more transparency from the Capitol Police, the agency can point to at least one recent change. Reports from its watchdog are slowly being released to the public, including a new batch out last month.
Such reports were mostly kept under wraps until a year ago. Now 38 of them are available on the website of the Capitol Police Office of Inspector General, which conducts audits, inspections and investigations of the force.
It’s an improvement but still a drop in the bucket, advocates say, citing a lingering culture of secrecy. More than a hundred reports have yet to be released.
