The Supreme Court of the United States Police Department (SCUSPD),^[1] commonly referred to as the Supreme Court Police, is a United States federal security police agency responsible for security and law enforcement services concerning the properties, personnel, and visitors of the Supreme Court of the United States. The SCUSPD enforces federal and District of Columbia laws and regulations, as well as enforces regulations governing the Supreme Court Building and grounds as prescribed by the head of the SCUSPD (the Marshal of the United States Supreme Court) and as approved by the Chief Justice of the United States. In addition to more common law enforcement tasks, SCUSPD personnel, in conjunction with United States Marshals Service personnel, are responsible for providing personal protection details to Supreme Court justices (and the chief justice) both domestically and internationally, as well as the justices' homes. Sworn SCUSPD personnel may exercise law enforcement powers and carry firearms throughout the District of Columbia, and nationally when protecting SCOTUS justices or property; such authority is derived from 40 U.S.C. § 6121.

Established in 1935, the Supreme Court security force was tasked to provide protection for the new Supreme Court building. The Court had previously resided in the United States Capitol, and the original force of 33 officers were selected from the ranks of the United States Capitol Police.
