capitol police

This may be a quick question to answer...i googled it and did not come up with much. I was driving to a building today and notice a police cruiser I have never seen marked capitol police. As I am in Clark County Nevada not anywhere near the capitol what do these officers do? mainly job function wise? I saw 4 of them inside the building but I was just curious why capitol police are hundreds of miles from the capitol.

Ummm...not to be a smart *** but are you sure you did a good google search? In less that five seconds or so....I found this.

CAPITOL POLICE - Las Vegas
In 1994, a Las Vegas branch of the Capitol Police was established and based in the Grant Sawyer State Office Building. One sergeant and eight officers are deployed to ensure the safety of state employees and non-employees who enter the building during business hours.
This is accomplished by security systems and by close contact with more than 500 employees in 23 state agencies. Safety and activities committees provide a forum to optimize employee safety.
In 1999, two additional officers were added to provide security for the Supreme Court operations in Las Vegas
