SEC Said to Back Hire of U.S. Capitol Police Inspector General

The Securities and Exchange Commission has selected the inspector general of the U.S. Capitol Police to be the agency’s internal watchdog, two people familiar with the matter said.

Carl Hoecker has led the police department’s inspector office since 2006, according to an online biography. A certified public accountant who began his career as an Army military policeman, Hoecker was previously deputy inspector general for investigations at the Treasury Department. The Capitol Police provide security on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol.
