1 00:00:00,240 –> 00:00:06,030 >> The occasions of January sixth did expose important departmental failures and deficiencies with operational 2 00:00:06,030 –> 00:00:11,580 planning intelligence staffing coaching and gear. I am happy to report that 3 00:00:11,580 –> 00:00:16,770 we have now addressed a good portion of the numerous suggestions issued to the division in 4 00:00:16,770 –> 00:00:21,420 reality of the greater than 100 suggestions issued by the inspector normal. 5 00:00:21,510 –> 00:00:26,850 >> We’ve got applied and are addressing over 90 of them. Do you 6 00:00:26,850 –> 00:00:32,100 imagine that the division can be higher capable of defend in opposition to the kind of risk that we 7 00:00:32,100 –> 00:00:37,180 noticed a yr in the past right this moment than the division was. Again then. 8 00:00:37,180 –> 00:00:42,600 Sure completely. As we speak I am assured that the U.S. Capitol Police Division has 9 00:00:42,600 –> 00:00:48,270 made vital progress addressing the deficiencies that impacted the division’s response on January sixth 10 00:00:48,270 –> 00:00:53,820 . And whereas extra work stays to be performed the women and men of the Capitol Police stand 11 00:00:53,820 –> 00:00:59,160 prepared to meet their mission every day. The largest problem I believe we have now 12 00:00:59,160 –> 00:01:01,620 is maintaining with the variety of threats. 13 00:01:01,620 –> 00:01:07,320 >> I imply we we have now we have doubled the variety of officers that examine these 14 00:01:07,320 –> 00:01:12,510 threats brokers that examine these threats and in the event that they proceed to go up the way in which 15 00:01:12,510 –> 00:01:17,940 they’ve. Clearly we will want extra officers to assign to 16 00:01:17,940 –> 00:01:19,420 this accountability. 17 00:01:19,480 –> 00:01:24,960 >> But when Congress fails to succeed in an settlement to cross have quietly two spending payments 18 00:01:24,960 –> 00:01:30,360 . If you happen to’re held to final yr’s spending ranges. How would this 19 00:01:30,360 –> 00:01:34,920 lack of an elevated funding impression the Capitol police capacity. To guard. 20 00:01:35,550 –> 00:01:41,210 >> The Capitol. It could impression. Simply 21 00:01:41,210 –> 00:01:47,570 about all the things that we’re we’re making an attempt to do when it comes to making and sustaining enhancements particularly 22 00:01:47,570 –> 00:01:53,390 within the areas of intelligence risk evaluation dignitary safety and safety 23 00:01:53,390 –> 00:01:59,070 infrastructure. It could it will. We might should droop our our well being and wellness initiatives that 24 00:01:59,070 –> 00:02:04,820 we have began. And I believe the largest impression can be our incapability to 25 00:02:04,820 –> 00:02:08,330 improve our staffing which is so important. 26 00:02:08,330 –> 00:02:13,820 >> All we might have the ability to do is simply substitute the those that left. We will not We will not 27 00:02:13,820 –> 00:02:19,730 survive and proceed. We’ve got to extend our staffing. As 28 00:02:19,730 –> 00:02:22,520 I talked about earlier than. However that that may be the largest impression.
