On Saturday, our officers rescued Hershey, a 12-year-old labrador retriever, who became lost after she decided to take a rainy, Saturday stroll. Thanks to the USCP team, Hershey was reunited with her mom and promised she'd never get in trouble again.🐶

She said YES! Congratulations to one of our recruits who proposed to his girlfriend, after the new officer was sworn into the United States Capitol Police family. What a day! 💍

This morning you may see or hear a low-flying helicopter around the U.S. Capitol for a routine photography flight. We just wanted to give you all a heads up. Have a great day!

A storm rolled through Washington, D.C. last night -- leaving behind a stunning sky. USCP K-9 Dag was standing guard at the Capitol and caught the end of the rainbow that followed.
