US Capitol Police still ‘400 officers short’ as staffing remains ‘critical’ issue a year after Jan. 6: chief
Fox News
U.S. Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger appeared on "Fox News Sunday" to address the security changes the agency has made in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, and to discuss what challenges still remain.
"The one thing that we have not been able to fix, so to speak, are the staffing issues and we've lost over 130 officers that have left through either retirements or resignations after January 6," Manger said.
The chief also said that the COVID-19 pandemic also shut down the National Federal Law Enforcement Training Academy for 10 months in 2020, essentially putting a pause on new recruits.
