Capital Police: We Weren’t Prepared

The new Capitol Police Chief testified in a Senate hearing this week that next time his men and women are tested – they’ll be better prepared. With today’s Americans for Limited Government Minute, I’m Catherine Mortensen. New Chief Thomas Manger is focused on improving intelligence gathering and manpower. He told senators that it’s not a matter of if, but when Congress is tested again.

“But what will be different is that we will be paying much more attention to the information that we gather ahead of time. We will be putting together a better plan. We will be getting the help that we need pre-planned, here, on campus, before we need it. Not making panicked calls later on.”
During the Capitol breach last year, many officers were left to fend off the pro-Trump activists without helmets, face shields and gas masks that would have better protected them in the melee. The Senate’s twenty-twenty-two appropriations bill would provide the department with $606.6 million, a $91 million increase over the current fiscal year.
