I saw a posting from Alan Henney about the new VHF trunked system in use by the US Capitol Police. The system is apparently in limited use and Alan was able to watch the system activity using PRO96COM software during the State of the Union speech on January 26th. Here's what he found:
System ID = 582
WACN = BEE00
Frequency Input Frequency Hit Count
172.6875 165.0875 193
172.3875 164.8125 184
172.9625 165.5375 183
173.1625 165.7750 12 (alternate control)
173.8125 166.4250 79 (alternate control)
170.1375 162.8000 199
169.5750 136.0000 191
173.4750 166.2250 42 (alternate control)
169.8375 162.6125 189
170.3750 163.1625 202
171.7875 164.6125 212
171.4125 164.3250 199
171.0000 164.0125 171
170.5750 163.6000 0 (primary control)
Alan also posted that the new system is being used along with the old, analog repeaters as well. So it appears that the USCP has not moved all operations to the new system full time yet.

Super Bowl XLVIII CAP Flights
It appears that the expected combat air patrol flights will begin with some training on Wednesday, the 29th;
"Individuals in and around the East Rutherford area can expect flights to begin Jan. 29 around 4:30 a.m. EST and continue for approximately one hour.
Exercise Amalgam Virgo 14-01, a NORAD air-defense exercise, will be conducted Wednesday in the greater East Rutherford area so interagency partners can practice procedures for responding to airspace violations."
