The inspector general for the U.S. Capitol Police testified on Tuesday that the department has not made enough improvements since the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, telling lawmakers that more has to be done “to achieve the goal of making the Capitol Complex safe and secure.
“Although the Department has addressed some of our recommendations and have made security improvements throughout the Capitol Complex, much work still needs to be addressed in relation to Training, Intelligence, cultural change and Operational Planning,” Michael Bolton told the Senate Rules and Administration Committee in prepared remarks.
Bolton said that of the 200 security enhancements the department has provided to the Office of the Inspector General, only 61 have evidently taken place.
