"If Congress wants to recruit and retain officers to meet the heightened security threat," he added,"they are going to have address both the leadership and quality of life issues driving officers to leave this department."The United States Capitol Police seal appears on the side of a bus parked near the federal law enforcement agency's headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 19, 2021.
Crowds of people then made their way to the steps of the U.S. Capitol, pushing through barricades, officers in riot gear and other security measures that were put in place in anticipation of the protest. An angry mob breached the Capitol building, forcing a lockdown with members of Congress and their staff holed up inside. It took hours for law enforcement to clear the building and establish a perimeter around the area. Five people, including U.S.
In his statement Friday, Papathanasiou referenced reports that a draft review by retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, who was appointed to examine security on Capitol Hill following the insurrection, calls for the hiring of an additional 1,000 officers, of which approximately 350 would be detailed to provide personal security to members of Congress. The U.S. Capitol Police "made it clear" in its budget submission to the U.S.
I can’t blame them, I had a tear in my that day as I watched simple minded traitors inspired by a wannabe dictator and idiots that only believe conspiracy theory because there simple mind couldn’t handle reality. Definitely the think they are entitled.
Now Hiring.
😂😂 don’t blame them all law enforcement members are being thrown under the buss across the nation for doing their job to the best of their abilities. I think all these politicians should answer calls for one night and see what they go through
Good, need fresh new blood..
L8r
Can’t blame them. Some elected lawmakers (politicians) & appointed officials have repeatedly denigrated, demonized and disrespected the police. Police management has failed the rank and file. Calls for defunding have aggravated the uncertainty of law and ordered. Rule of law?
Cop unions are liars and crybabies though. This is probably just another ploy for even more money.
Do you blame them? Worse yet the TRAITOR that incited this insurrection was acquitted. NO JUSTICE
They were in on the coup as well and think they can get away with it.
I guess they were looking for a cake job. Just walk around like a security guard. Because that's what they looked liked. They stood around just watching. Some did their job, And very well. Most just held the door open.
They wouldn’t last a day in portland PD
I thought their retiring coz the FBI is getting close to naming people in the force who were there supporting trumpet’s people. I thought this is their “you can’t fire me, i quit” moment.
The retirement benefits and working conditions were the same. They are not being entirely honest.
Many abetted the insurrectionists!
Hopefully they vet their replacements thoroughly.
They should.. many of their coworkers/higher ups are racist traitors that almost had them killed
as well they should
After the last four years. Anyone with common sense can see what is going on.
The good ones know that insurrection should have not happened. Its called treason, betrayal, lack of trust.
Poor example of policing!
I don't blame them.
Hard to blame them.
SAD......
boy..the trump administration really showed they're true colors jan 6th. showed jus how much thye like police lol....
What they want is literally their union’s job to get for them.
more jobs for new people
i can’t blame them. i would think the legislators that work there could come up with some sort of plan to shore up the situation.
