Capitol Police Chief Manger Retires After Riot Response | JQJO

U.S. Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger is retiring after overseeing the department's rebuilding following the January 6th, 2021 Capitol riot. He strengthened intelligence, communications, and recruitment, addressing weaknesses exposed during the attack. Manger secured increased funding and improved the department's capabilities, including a world-class intelligence operation. Despite progress, he highlighted persistent threats against members of Congress and criticized pardons issued to Capitol rioters. A new chief will be selected by the U.S. Capitol Police Board.
