Diaz-Balart, McHenry Re-Introduce Resolution Praising Capitol Police
WASHINGTON, DCCongressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) and Congressman Patrick McHenry (R-NC) introduced H.RES.645, a resolution in the House of Representatives praising the United States Capitol Police force, last week.
"I am proud to join Congressman McHenry in expressing our support and appreciation for the Capitol Police, who everyday exhibit honor, courtesy and professionalism," said Congressman Diaz-Balart. "They confront threats to the security of Members of Congress and the millions who visit everyday, and when necessary have put their lives on the line to ensure everyone else's safety. Their work is honorable and should not go unnoticed."
"The Capitol Police do an extraordinary job protecting the Capitol and the millions of citizens who visit it each year," said Congressman McHenry. "Congress remains a target for terrorists, and we owe a debt of gratitude to the people who secure the front lines to keep legislators and their staffs safe. It is a privilege to join Congressman Diaz-Balart in honoring the Capitol Police for a job well done."
The resolution highlights and thanks the Capitol Police for the work they do each day in maintaining security around the Capitol Complex for all members of Congress, staff and visitors. The Capitol Police was established by Congress in 1828 and has more than 1,500 officers.
