After the Attack: The Future of the U.S. Capitol Police
July 6, 2021 Press Release
It has been six months since rioters attacked the United States Capitol and our brave police officers and law enforcement partners who fought valiantly to protect elected leaders and the democratic process.
We will never forget USCP Officers Brian Sicknick and Howie Liebengood, who died after the attack, nor the sacrifices of the nearly 150 law enforcement officers who were injured.
Since that day, our team has been working with federal law enforcement agents to track down the suspects and bring them to justice. So far more than 500 defendants face charges.
Throughout the last six months, the United States Capitol Police has been working around the clock with our Congressional stakeholders to support our officers, enhance security around the Capitol Complex, and pivot towards an intelligence-based protective agency.
USCP continues to implement recommendations from a series of post January 6 reviews including;
Examining the U.S. Capitol Attack, a report by the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Government Affairs and the U.S. Senate Committee on Rules
Capitol Security Review, a report conducted by Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré’s Task Force 1-6
A series of flash reports by the USCP Office of the Inspector General
Government Accountability Office
Architect of the Capitol’s Physical Security Assessment
USCP Security Services Bureau’s Complex Security Assessments
House Select Committee
Here are examples of the improvements the United States Capitol Police has made since January 6;
