The field offices will be in the Tampa and San Francisco areas, according to Capitol Police.
“At this time, Florida and California are where the majority of our potential threats are,” a department spokesperson said in a statement. “The field offices will be the first for the Department. A regional approach to investigating and prosecuting threats against Members is important, so we will be working closely with the U.S. Attorney’s Offices in those locations.”
The police agency rarely provides information to the public on how it operates, citing security concerns and member safety. For example, unlike other government agencies, the internal watchdog’s reports are not publicly available.
A spokesperson did not answer questions Tuesday about how many staff would be hired or what the cost to taxpayers would be.
The spokesperson said other regional offices were expected.
I think he didn't fire blindly, he shot to kill.
But U.S. Capitol Police, featuring the guy that killed Ashli Babbitt, are about to expand nationwide.

Yup, they'd make a pretty decent Praetorian Guard.
