The House Sergeant-at-Arms is looking to obtain at least $2 million to increase security for lawmakers' district offices, NBC4 Washington reported Friday.

House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving is looking to obtain the funds from the House Appropriations Committee as members of Congress increasingly make requests to improve security at their district offices.

If approved, the security upgrades would include panic buttons for offices that don't already have them and video surveillance, according to the report, which noted that many district offices are in open, public places.

Irving did not mention any specific threats to House members. While at their offices in Washington, lawmakers are protected by Capitol Police.
