The force was formed in 1975, following the foundation of the State Capitol Police in 1967. It currently has 20 sworn officers, and is responsible for policing the buildings used by the General Assembly, and investigating threats to legislators, staff or members of their immediate families. In 2017, the force's annual budget was $1,869,329. The force has two marked vehicles and one unmarked vehicle, with the marked vehicles being used "to provide a law enforcement visual deterrent on the complex".[1]
Officers of the force have jurisdiction:[2]
General Assembly Police officers may also arrest throughout the state when in hot pursuit from an area of their jurisdiction, and have the exclusive authority and responsibility for enforcing the parking rules of the Legislative Services Commission.[2]
