The House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight will hold a hearing on Wednesday featuring testimony from the inspector general of the U.S. Capitol Police.
Inspector General Ron Russo will speak before the committee on Capitol Hill, weeks after his internal review of the department's hiring processes found that 48% of Capitol Police applicants had been failed by a screening company on pre-employment psychological evaluations. The national average is 16%.
The review, which concluded in May, came after House Administration Committee Ranking Member Joseph Morelle (D-NY) raised concerns about Global Consortium LLC, the screening firm. Russo began his review shortly after assuming the position in January.
After Russo's conclusions were considered "wide-ranging and deeply troubling" by Morelle and others, Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger ended the screening company's contract.
