美国国会大厦警察局长汤姆·曼格周二表示，在上周众议院议长南希·佩洛西的丈夫遇袭后，他的部门正在考虑为国会议员提供额外的安全保障。
“USCP已经对周五的事件进行了调查，”Manger在一份声明中说。“我们相信今天的政治气候需要更多的资源来为国会议员提供额外的人身安全保障。该计划将包括强调在国会领导层已经实施的措施中增加冗余。希望你能理解，我们不能透露这些改进的细节，因为我们的国家不能让任何潜在的坏演员更容易。”
一个男人据称闯入佩洛西家中袭击了保罗·佩洛西，旧金山地方检察官称之为政治暴力。
Manger说，在众议员Gabby Giffords和众议员Steve Scalise被枪击后，他的机构已经改善了安全状况，但今天的威胁形势意味着改善“越来越迫切”。
据消息人士称，国会警察正在考虑将保护范围扩大到家庭，但尚未做出决定。

他说:“USCP一直在努力调查报告的威胁，改善情报收集和分析，并加强我们与全国执法机构的合作伙伴关系，为在DC华盛顿州以外旅行的成员提供安全保障。”。
根据USCP提供给美国广播公司新闻的统计数据，自2017年以来，对立法者的威胁增加了一倍多。2017年有近4000家，2021年有近1万家。
据该机构称，在2021年1月6日国会大厦遇袭后，国会警察经历了大规模的部门改革，从上到下进行了变革。
“虽然取得了进展，但仍有许多工作要做，”Manger说。“国防部扩大保护行动的长期计划已经在进行中——周五的野蛮袭击更加强调了其重要性。我们将继续与我们的国会伙伴合作，增加额外的特工和安全措施，以支持我们的保护行动任务。”
他说，该部门监测全国“数以千计”的案件，他们的使命保持不变。
“在这个政治紧张局势加剧的时期，我们继续监测全国各地的数千起案件——努力在潜在威胁成为头条新闻之前阻止它们，”他说。在过去的五年里，USCP确认制造威胁的案件中有12%被起诉。
"我们希望看到更多这样的案件受到法律的最大限度的起诉。"
Capitol Police looking at added protection after Paul Pelosi attack: Chief
U.S. Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger on Tuesday said his department is looking at providing added security for members of Congress after last week's assault on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband.
"The USCP has engaged in a review of Friday’s incident," Manger said in a statement. "We believe today’s political climate calls for more resources to provide additional layers of physical security for Members of Congress. This plan would include an emphasis on adding redundancies to the measures that are already in place for Congressional leadership. Hopefully you can understand that we cannot disclose the details about these improvements because our country cannot afford to make it easier for any potential bad actors."
A manallegedly broke into the Pelosi home and assaulted Paul Pelosi,in what the San Francisco District Attorney called politically motivated violence.
Manger said, after the shootings of both Rep. Gabby Giffords and Rep. Steve Scalise, his agency has made security improvements, but today's threat landscape means improvements are "increasingly urgent."
Capitol Police are considering extending protection to families, according to sources, but no decision has been made.
"The USCP has worked diligently to investigate reported threats, improve intelligence collection and analysis, and strengthen our partnerships with law enforcement agencies across the country to provide security for Members when they are traveling outside Washington, DC," he said.
Threats against lawmakers have more than doubled since 2017, according to USCP statistics provided to ABC News. In 2017, there were nearly 4,000 and in 2021 there were nearly 10,000.
After the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol Police went through a large-scale department overhaul, according to the agency, making changes from top to bottom.
"While progress has been made, there is still a lot of work to do," Manger said. "The Department’s long-term plans to expand our protective operations are already underway -- their importance only emphasized by Friday’s brutal attack. We will continue to work with our Congressional partners to add additional agents and security enhancements to support our protective operations mission."
He said the department monitors "thousands" of cases across the country and their mission remain unchanged.
"During this time of heightened political tension, we continue to monitor thousands of cases across the country -- in an effort to stop potential threats before they make headlines," he said. Over the past five years, 12% of cases in which USCP has identified making threats have been prosecuted.
"We hope to see more of these cases prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
