Staffers from the office of the Architect of the Capitol on Saturday morning installed a plaque honoring the U.S. Capitol Police and other law enforcement agencies that protected the Capitol building during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot.
“On behalf of a grateful Congress, this plaque honors the extraordinary individuals who bravely protected and defended this symbol of democracy on January 6, 2021. Their heroism will never be forgotten,” the plaque reads.
Below the acknowledgement text, the plaque lists all the law enforcement agencies and other entities involved in the response to the attack. The U.S. Capitol Police Department and Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department are listed above and separate from the rest.
The installation comes two months after the Senate unanimously agreed to a resolution directing the Architect of the Capitol to install a plaque honoring officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6.
The Senate resolution was introduced in January by Sens. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., after Congress had stalled on plans outlined in a 2022 law to install a similar plaque by March 2023.
