As the only law enforcement agency under the U.S. legislative branch, the DC Capitol Police is responsible for protecting members of Congress both domestically and overseas. In recent years, the Capitol Police have played a crucial role in defending members of the U.S. government, from the storming of the Capitol building on January 6 2021, to protecting Congressmen and women from increasingly emboldened hostile state actors. In episode 48 of NATO DEEP Dive, Dr. Sajjan Gohel is joined by Ravi Satkalmi, the Director of Intelligence for the United States Capitol Police, to discuss the importance of the agency, the changing nature of extremist ideologies, and the importance of greater representation in all aspects of law enforcement.
