Richard Shelby suggested Congress pass emergency funding for Capitol Police, saying the department is in desperate need of funding. Republicans have proposed nearly $100 million in additional funding for the USCP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should pass now what we all agree on: The Capitol Police and National Guard are running out of money, the clock is ticking, and we need to take care of them,\u201d said Shelby.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2452213\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2452213\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2452213\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/richard-656x437-1.jpg\" alt=\"WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 08: Sen.

(Kevin Dietsch\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>This comes as a $1.9 billion emergency supplemental package was stalled in the Senate after being passed through the House in May.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, U.S. Capitol Police may need to furlough its officers soon if Congress does not provide them with the additional funding. The lack of funds stem from staffing shortages propelled by low morale, which have led to a significant increase in overtime pay.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, reports said Congress would need to pass a bill providing the agency with nearly $2 billion of supplemental security funding. As it stands, salary funds are at risk of running out in mid-August and Congress would need to pass funding legislation by Sept.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/gop-lawmakers-criticize-bidens-door-to-door-campaign\/\">GOP Lawmakers Criticize Biden\u2019s Door-To-Door Campaign<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Capitol Police officers salute as the remains of Officer Brian Sicknick are carried down the steps of the Capitol after laying in honor in the Rotunda on February 3, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2314415,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/richard-656x437-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"GOP proposes emergency funding for Capitol police","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-587935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/richard-656x437-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"GOP proposes emergency funding for Capitol police","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/587935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=587935"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/587935\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2314415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=587935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=587935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=587935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
