Capitol Police watchdog warns more change needed after Jan. 6 riot | New York Post

The US Capitol Police inspector general told lawmakers Tuesday that the department has not made needed changes in the aftermath of the deadly riot by Trump supporters on Jan. 6.

Michael Bolton testified at an oversight hearing of the Senate Rules Committee that the Capitol Police “still lacks the overall training infrastructure to meet the needs of the department, the level of intelligence gathering and expertise needed, and an overall cultural change needed to move the department into a protective agency as opposed to a traditional police department.”

Bolton testified 11 months and one day after the riot, which led to the deaths of five people — including Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick — and nearly eight months after he issued the first in a series of so-called “flash” reports critiquing the Capitol Police response to the events of that day.
