Capitol Police Expected on the Mall Tonight
July 28, 2006
Washington, D.C.--Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) said that she had a good conversation with Wilson Livingood, the House Sergeant at Arms and Chairman of the Capitol Police Board, this afternoon about Capitol Police assisting Park Police on the Mall in response to recent assaults. Norton said that she is pleased that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Capitol Police officers will be assisting the Park Police on the Mall, between 4th and 7th Streets, beginning tonight. The Congresswoman was particularly pleased to learn that Capitol Police will be on duty there from 8 pm to 2 am, at the request of Park Police, instead of 10 pm to 2 am as originally planned.
Norton will be going to the Mall this evening to thank Capitol Police officers for their service.
