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 percent increase over the roughly $735 million enacted in fiscal 2023, which itself was a 22 percent 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.
