Michael Bolton, the inspector general of the US Capitol Police, plans to tell Congress that the agency has not done enough to improve its activities in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Bolton is testifying at a Senate Rules Committee hearing about Capitol Police’s efforts to revamp their procedures. He said that “out of 200 security enhancements the department provided to the inspector general, only 61 of those items have supporting documentation to support that those enhancements have occurred."Some of the enhancements that have been implemented, he said, include intelligence briefings provided to rank and file officers and department leadership.
Bolton said that “much work still needs to be addressed” across many elements of Capitol Police in order to shift it from being a traditional police department to a protective agency following Jan. 6. He said that Capitol Police"lacks the infrastructure for training, the intelligence gathering and expertise that’s needed to prevent future attacks and an overall cultural change.”
The hearing will focus on the inspector general's multiple reports after the Jan. 6 attack. Senators are expected to ask how many of the reforms and changes recommended by Bolton and the committee in the wake of the attack have been implemented.
