Library of Congress Police is a federal law enforcement agency of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.headed by the Office of the Librarian.

Library of Congress Police Officers provide facility security through uniformed patrols and video surveillance as well as law enforcement services through arrest authority granted by the United States Congress. In 2003 Congress decided to begin to abolish the LOC Police force, transferring the officers and the agencies duties, responsibilities and functions into the U.S Capital Police. Pursuant to Public Law 108-7 Sec. 1015 (117 Stat. 363) put into effect by the U.S. Congress on February 20, 2003, the Library of Congress Police was transferred to the authority of the U.S. Capitol Police, and all sections under Title 2 (§ 167 and § 167h) of the U.S. Code that pertains to the Library of Congress Police was transferred to the U.S. Capitol Police. As of 2008 the merger of the Library of Congress Police by the United States Capitol Police is still on-going.
