Capitol Police: Administrative Improvements and Possible Merger with the Library of Congress Police.

摘要

Because of concerns about the dual House and Senate systems under which the U.S. Capitol Police Force's payroll and personnel operations are carried out, the Senate Committee on Appropriations directed GAO to study the Force's administrative organization. The Committee also asked GAO to identify the issues related to merging the Library of Congress Police Force into the Capitol Police. Specifically, the objectives of GAO's review were to identify the differences arising from the Capitol Police being administered under dual House and Senate systems; provide suggestions as to how the Capitol Police administrative operations can be consolidated and estimate the cost of consolidating and estimate the cost of consolidating payroll operations; and study the issues involved in merging the Library of Congress Police with the Capitol Police.
