This morning, we responded to the 300 block of First Street, SE, for the report of a suspicious package. The package was cleared by our Hazardous Incident Response Division. It contained two vials of blood. The source of the package & its contents will be further investigated.

As we wrap up National Police Week 2024, let us never forget our brothers and sisters in law enforcement who died in the line of duty protecting and serving their communities. Thank you to all officers who put their lives on the line every day. 💙

Heads up, DC! On Saturday, May 11, 2024, a flyover involving multiple aircraft will take place over the National Mall, between 12:00pm and 1:00pm. During that time, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport will be under a ground stop. There is no cause for alarm.

Feeling ducky today! 🦆 (Yes, it's a real word... look it up).

Every year we hold a memorial service to honor the United States Capitol Police officers who died in the line of duty. It is our most sacred event. Let us never forget our fallen brothers and always keep their families in our hearts.

This May, USCP's Hazardous Devices Section (HDS) celebrates its 50th anniversary since its founding. For 50 years, the USCP technicians, also known as our Bomb Squad, have kept the U.S. Capitol building and the Congressional community safe. Thank you HDS!

Happy birthday Library of Congress! Still looking good after all of these years 🎂🎉🎈

It’s National Public Safety Telecommunications Week! Here at the USCP, we have a top notch communications team who is ready to answer the call 24/7. Thank you for all that you do!

Officer Joseph Rudiger responded to the Key Bridge collapse for the Navy Reserves. We are proud of his service on Capitol Hill and with the military.

Officer Rudiger is just one of our many standby reserve & active-duty employees. Thank you all for your service!

Washington, D.C. is not in the path of totality for today's solar eclipse, but it should still be an impressive sight. Here, almost 90% of the sun's surface will be blocked by the Moon for a few minutes around 3:20pm. Tips for safe eclipse viewing here: nps.gov/articles/eclip…

This #WomensHistoryMonth we hosted an event to showcase the contributions of women in law enforcement -- with some of our leaders sharing their personal experiences. Meanwhile we continue to grow the representation of women in our recruit classes to 30% by 2030. @30x30Initiative
