Operations of the Capitol Police are top secret and it is the reason why these are not online.

Capitol Police basically is the department that takes care of the state or Federal Capitol buildings. They may also be in charge of Personal Protection for Legislators and other government leaders. Depending on the agency (there are several capitol police depts.) They may have everything from patrol, including mounted, investigators, SWAT and other specialties found on most police departments. These agencies may be small, with less than 20 officers, or could have hundreds, such as US Capitol Police. Because they are protecting some very vital resources, their swat teams, if they have them tend to be very good. There are several that have websites, but not all states have Capitol Police agencies, many use state highway patrol or police for those duties.
