The US Capitol Police investigated 14,938 threat cases in 2025, marking a third consecutive annual rise linked to heightened political violence and increased law enforcement partnerships.
- Last year, the United States Capitol Police reported 14,938 investigations, marking a third consecutive rise and the highest level in years, up from 9,474 cases in 2024.

- The multi-year data show USCP investigated 8,008 cases in 2023 and 9,474 in 2024, with formal agreements tripling to more than 350 departments in 2025, USCP said.
