The Capitol Police does not post online any policies or procedures that guide officer conduct on use of force, car chases or foot chases.

The Bureau of Investigation report also mentioned a 21-year-old woman, whose name was redacted; Lewis’ family believe she was a friend of his and was sitting in the passenger seat. She could not immediately be reached for comment.
