The purpose of this legislation, known as the USCP Empowerment Act of 2025, is to give the United States Capitol Police the authority to respond to threats posed by unmanned aircraft systems, commonly known as drones. The goal is to enhance security measures for the Capitol and related facilities by allowing the police to take necessary actions against drones that may pose a credible threat. Key provisions of the law include several actions that the Capitol Police can take without prior consent when dealing with drones.
