Over the years, investigations and reports have revealed a disturbing culture of corruption, favoritism, and cover-ups among the leaders of the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP). With incidents dating back to the late 1990s, high-ranking officials, including assistant chiefs and deputies, have been implicated in various forms of misconduct including fraud, forgery, obstruction of justice, and others.

 

A new Blaze Media investigation highlights some of the shadier aspects of the USCP, detailing a culture in which misconduct not only goes unpunished, but is often rewarded. “Corruption is endemic at the highest levels of the United States Capitol Police,” the report reads.

High-ranking USCP officials, including a present-day deputy chief and an assistant chief, were implicated and faced discipline and possible termination in a fraudulent overtime pay scheme that defrauded the government of tens of thousands of dollars, according to documents obtained by Blaze Media and a former Capitol Police sergeant. A lieutenant involved in the scam left the Capitol Police and now works for the U.S. Senate sergeant at arms.

The scheme involved current USCP Assistant Chief Sean Gallagher and Deputy Chief John Erickson. Rhoda Henderson, a retired USCP sergeant, blew the whistle on the scheme, bringing the questionable overtime billing to department officials in 2012. “They look out for each other, the higher rank you go,” she told Blaze Media. “To me, it’s always been, ‘I’ll cover up your sins if you cover up mine.’”

Drunk driving and fraud take front stage as Blaze Media’s Steve Baker exposes scandals within the U.S. Capitol Police. Steve joins the podcast to discuss the latest on his case, and the latest coming from the Capitol is not looking great because it shows a pattern of corruption. The new report finds that current and former U.S. Capitol Police members were participating in fraud or drunk driving. Are we going to see more corruption come to light?
