A former U.S. Senate Sergeant at Arms - one of the most security-conscious roles in the U.S. government - is now lobbying for the Chinese Communist Party-owned company Hikvision, which has ties to the regime's military, The National Pulse can reveal.
In 2014, Willison was promoted by Reid to serve as the Senate Sergeant at Arms after a stint as the Deputy Sergeant at Arms.
As chief law enforcement officer of the Senate, the Sergeant at Arms is charged with maintaining security in the Capitol and all Senate buildings, as well as protection of the members themselves.
The Sergeant at Arms' jobs "Include escorting the president and other heads of state or official guests of the Senate who are attending official functions in the Capitol; making arrangements for funerals of senators who die in office; assisting in plans for the inauguration of the president and organizing the swearing-in and orientation programs for newly elected senators. The Sergeant at Arms leads the senators from the Senate to the House Chamber for joint sessions of Congress, to the presidential inaugural platform, or wherever the Senate may go as a body. As executive officer, the Sergeant at Arms has custody of the Senate gavel."
The Sergeant at Arms serves as the executive officer of the Senate for enforcement of all rules of the Committee on Rules and Administration regulating the Senate wing of the Capitol and the Senate office buildings and has responsibility for and immediate supervision of the Senate floor, Chamber, and galleries.
The Office of the Sergeant at Arms is the largest in size of staff and budget in the Senate.
The SAA also shares responsibility for the U.S. Capitol Police, the Senate Page Program, the Senate Office of Training and Development, and the Capitol Telephone Exchange.
