at an Alexandria, Va., baseball field, Manger said: “These events demonstrate how the Capitol Police need to transform into a more protective agency. “This shows that people have to think about security in their own offices,” Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said. “I’m not fearful to go back to my district office, but I do worry about the safety of my staff,” he said. Shortly before Manger assumed the chief’s job, the Capitol Police opened field offices in San Francisco and Tampa to address the rising number of threats. Scalise said he would support any efforts that Connolly proposes to enhance security at his home district office.
