CHRONOLOGICAL NARRATIVE SECTION
On December 14, 2020, the Electoral College finalized their votes formally electing
President Joseph Biden as the 46th President of the United States. Individuals and
groups upset by the results immediately voiced their intention to "Stop the Steal" and
retaliate against those who did not join them in their fight to change the election results
before Congress met on January 6, 2021 , to formally recognize and announce the
electoral votes. 1
Five days later, on December 19, 2020, President Donald J. Trump posted on his
personal Twitter account, "Big protest in D.C. on January 6. Be there, will be wild!"
Following President Trump's tweet, the domain "Wildprotest.com" was registered, and
supporters such as Ms. Kylie Jane Kremer of the group "Women for America First"

Captured Tweet from Ms. Kylie Jane Kremer
Anticipating the large demonstrations, the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) of

Washington, DC, issued an internal teletype canceling member's days off and restricting
leave between January 5 and January 7, 2021 .2 On December 22, 2020, the MPD
published an additional teletype fully activating the department on twelve (12) hour
shifts stating, "All members should be prepared to work extended tours as necessary." 3
As part of the activation, the MPD activated numerous Civil Disturbance Units (CDUs)
from the various Districts in addition to the Special Operation Division (SOD) and the
Domestic Security Operations Unit (DSO) for necessary crowd management and
control. Members activated for this event were in full uniform and equipped with body-
worn cameras (BWCs). In addition to their standard patrol equipment, DSO and CDU
platoons were equipped with crowd management tools to provide constructive force,
physical force, oleoresin capsicum force, mechanical force (levels I and 11), and
chemical force as appropriate.
Over the next few weeks, supporters of President Trump communicated frequently on
social media, openly discussing the possibility of violence against law enforcement
should it interfere with their intended goal of stopping Congress from counting and
certifying the electoral votes. Mr. Ali Alexander, a founder of "StoptheSteal.us,"
encouraged his supporters to bring supplies and avoid wearing masks, writing on the
social media site "Parler," "If D.C. escalates ... so do we." While the "wild protest"

location and details moved slightly, the overall plan was for supporters to meet in
Washington DC on January 5, 2021, and attend various planned rallies,
demonstrations, and protests.
On January 2, 2021, Ms. Kremer announced on Twitter that her group's event would
take place the morning of January 6, 2021, on the Ellipse, a 52-acre park just south of
the White House. The next day, President Trump stated that he would attend the event,
calling it a "Historic day!" As the week progressed, the initially uncoordinated "Wild
Protest" evolved into one coordinated event, titled by some as "The March to Save
America."

As part of the planned events, the National Park Service issued three permits: "The
Rally to Revival," "The Silent Majority," and "March for Trump/Save America." The Rally
to Revival and The Silent Majority were scheduled for January 5, 2021. The March for
Trump/Save America was permitted to occur on Wednesday, January 6, 2021, between
0900 and 1630 hours, with an estimated crowd of 30,000. 4
According to reporting by the Washington Post, on January 3, 2021, an internal United

States Capitol Police (USCP) intelligence report warned of the violent possibility of an
attack stating, "Supporters of the current President see January 6, 2021, as the last
opportunity to overturn the results of the presidential election. This sense of desperation
and disappointment may lead to more of an incentive to become violent. Unlike previous

post-election protests, the targets of the pro-Trump supporters are not necessarily the
counter-protesters as they were previously, but rather Congress itself is the target on
the 6th." 5
On Sunday, January 3, 2021, MPD's Homeland Security Bureau (HSB) held a

mandatory briefing for all officials in charge of platoons designated to assist with the
department's CDU activation on January 5 and January 6, 2021. During the briefing,
officials were provided with their platoon's assignments and were briefed on the
positioning of MPD in support of their federal law enforcement partners that held
primary jurisdiction at the various event sites. 6
On January 4, 2021, United States Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund asked the Senate
and House Sergeant at Arms to put the National Guard on emergency standby. Chief
Sund's request was rejected out of fear that an overly authoritative presence would not
be esthetically ideal. 7
On January 5, 2021, the fully-activated MPD monitored the various rallies during the
day and acted as a barrier between the opposing groups at night. By the end of the
night, ten adults were arrested, three firearms were confiscated, and six MPD members
reported injuries as a result of the events. 8
In the afternoon of January 5, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Washington

Field Office received an explicit warning that extremists from multiple states were
travelling to Washington, D.C. to commit "warlike" acts of violence. Specifically, agents
noted that they observed a message in an online thread that read (verbatim), "Congress
needs to hear glass braking, doors, being kicked in, and blood from their BLM and
Pantifa slave soldiers being spilled. Get violent. Stop calling this a march, or rally, or a
protest. Go there ready for war. We get our President or we die. NOTHING else will
achieve this goal." Despite the potential implications of the threat, the warning was not
directly passed to Chief Sund of the USCP or Chief Contee of the MPD. 9
January 6, 2021
In the early morning hours of January 6, 2021, a large number of people descended
upon the Ellipse. Members of the MPD's SOD, along with CDU Platoons 12, 13, 33, 34,
42, 43, 54, 61, 64, 71, and 74, were stationed in the surrounding areas and were tasked

with facilitating the lawful assembly of persons while monitoring the crowds for unlawful
acts. The observed rally attendees ranged from impassioned individuals in full tactical
gear to families and senior citizens. As the day progressed, members of the MPD and
United States Park Police (USPP) responded to several calls for individuals observed
with firearms, arresting several individuals and confiscating weapons when located. In
total, five (5) individuals were arrested for firearms offenses and six (6) firearms were
recovered. 10
At or around 1000 hours, various speakers took to the stage at the Ellipse and rallied
the crowd behind the idea that it was their duty to "Stop the Steal." Donald Trump Jr., a
speaker, told the crowd, "If you're going to be the zero and not the hero, we're coming
for you, and we're going to have a good time doing it." 11 At 1056 hours, Assistant Chief
Jeffery Carroll of the MPD's Homeland Security Bureau voiced over the police radio
zone that approximately 300 "Proud Boys" were marching east on Pennsylvania Avenue
towards the US Capitol Building. The Joint Operations Command Center (JOCC)
replied that they would make sure that the USCP were made aware of the movement. 12

At approximately 1150 hours, President Trump addressed the crowd at the Ellipse and
started his speech, which lasted approximately one (1) hour. As President Trump
spoke, groups of demonstrators started making their way towards the Capitol, gathering
on the western border of the Capitol Grounds near the Capitol Reflecting Pool. MPD
members stationed along Constitution Avenue, Northwest, observed a palpable shift in
the energy of the groups walking towards the Capitol. The members later noted that
people were becoming increasingly aggressive towards the officers, calling them

"traitors" and warning them to "not get in their way." While USCP watched the gathering
crowds, both uniformed and plainclothes officers of the MPD immersed themselves in
the crowds in the area of 15th and Constitution Avenue, Northwest, in response to
multiple reports for individuals armed with firearms.

Over the next half hour, larger groups of people walked east from the Ellipse and joined
the quickly growing number of people at the Capitol Reflecting Pool. As more people
arrived, the crowd started to push against the temporary barriers set up by Capitol
Police. USCP had erected barriers consisting of metal bicycle racks and green plastic
netting along First Street Northwest, Constitution Avenue, Independence Avenue, and
the east entrance path in front of the Capitol Visitor Center. The initial demonstrators
taunted and jeered at the sporadically placed USCP officers, yelling that the Capitol was
"their house" and that the officers were "traitors" for keeping them from it.
CAPD_000000939
Figure 8: Western Barrier where crowd eventually breaks through.
At 1221 hours, Commander Robert Glover13 of the MPD's SOD voiced over the police
radio that he observed a group moving towards the Capitol, right before an officer at
14th and Independence Avenue, SW observed individuals walking with what was
believed to be a rifle. The suspected armed individuals were stopped, and Commander
Glover ordered two squads from CDU 54 to the location to assist with crowd control.
While CDU 54 and other nearby MPD officers handled the stop, an MPD officer at 10th
and Constitution Avenue, Northwest, voiced over the police radio that a large crowd was
forming around a counter-protest, and requested additional units to assist.
At 1245 hours, USCP was called to respond to the Republican National Committee
Headquarters at 310 First Street, Southeast, for a possible explosive device, later
identified as a pipe bomb. At 1247 hours Commander Glover directed the MPD's
Explosive Ordnance Division (EOD) to respond to the location and assist USCP. Once
on scene, units evacuated the surrounding area and performed a protective sweep of
the vehicles in the area. During that sweep they observed a red pickup truck with
Alabama tags that was found to contain a handgun, an M4 Carbine assault rifle, and the
components needed to make Molotov cocktails. 14
Meanwhile the crowds at the Capitol Reflecting Pool swelled to the hundreds as the
disorderly subjects started pushing against the barriers. Ultimately, around 1253 hours,
individuals in the crowd began grabbing and thrusting the metal barriers into the USCP
officers as they chanted, "USA! USA!" 15 With the barriers lifted off of the ground, the
crowd surged forward and pressed the USCP officers back against the stairs.
13 On January 6, 2021, Robert Glover held the rank of Inspector. He was promoted to the rank of
Commander on January 12, 2021.

14 After discovering the unlawful items, the USCP surveilled the vehicle until the owner eventually
returned and was placed under arrest. Once arrested, the individual was found to have an additional
firearm on his person.
15 See Attachment 8 - (Video) Rioters Pushing Past Western Barrier (Part 1)
CAPD_000000940
Significantly outnumbered, the USCP officers attempted to physically restrain the
onslaught of people, but were ultimately unable to stop the wave and were forced to fall
back to the base of the West Steps of the Capitol building. MPD's CDU 64 was directed
to move closer to the area of the Capitol and be ready to respond. 16
Figures 9 & 10: Rioters pushing past USCP at the Western barriers
As Vice President of the United States Michael Pence entered the House Chamber to
preside over the counting of electoral votes, hundreds of people poured past the
barriers and pressed against the line USCP had established on top of the first level of
stairs. Chief Sund determined that the USCP needed assistance and requested backup
from Chief Contee and the MPD. 17 At 1258 hours Commander Glover directed CDU
platoons 54 and 64 to respond to 3 rd Street and Maryland Avenue, Southwest, noting
that they were authorized to deploy to the western front of the Capitol. Commander
Glover was informed that CDU 54 was not nearby, but that CDU 64 would respond
shortly. Commander Glover requested that another platoon respond and stage nearby
in case they were needed .
As MPD began their response, a portion of the crowd surged towards the stairway near
the partially constructed bleachers on the south side of the inaugural platform.
Infrastructure, including bleachers and scaffolding, was in the process of being built in
anticipation of the upcoming Presidential Inauguration, and was in various states of
completion. The crowd continued to press against the USCP officers, as some rioters
began climbing the scaffolding .18 19
At 1259 hours, Assistant Chief Carroll voiced over the police radio that the group was
attempting to breach the Capitol. Commander Glover acknowledged the transmission,
and asked that the responding CDU platoons meet him at 100 Maryland Avenue,
Southwest, so they could approach together. CDU 74 was directed to respond and

began making their way from the area of 14th Street and New York Avenue, Northwest.
Assistant Chief Carroll then asked Commander Glover to provide an update on the
situation upon their arrival, and asked the JOCC if the Capitol had provided insight into
what was going on. The JOCC advised that the crowd was trying to breach the Capitol,
but had not made it inside yet.
Figure 9: Approach of first wave of rioters. Star is the location where MPD CDU units met before they responded.
Location of rioters indicated by
At approximately 1303 hours, Commander Glover reached the Capitol steps with CDU
64. 20 Lieutenant Ronald Wilkins of the MPD's SOD was also on the scene and asked for
the location of CDU 54. The platoon leader of CDU 54, Lieutenant Ryan Small, advised
that they were responding but were further out. At the same time, a unit asked for
assistance at 17th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, where two opposing groups
were clashing. CDU 42 was asked to send two squads to the location, however advised
that they were spread out as high visibility and so would need time to regroup. CDU 34
was then directed to respond to assist.
At 1305 hours, a second pipe bomb was found outside the headquarters of the
Democratic National Committee, located at 430 South Capitol Street, Southeast. USCP
resources were dispatched again, drawing away much needed personnel from the
Capitol. At 1309, Lieutenant Peter Sheldon of CDU 51 voiced over the police radio that
they were coming into service and asked where they should respond. They were
directed to respond to a predetermined staging location away from the Capitol.
Finishing his speech around 1310 hours, President Trump voiced to the remaining
crowd at the Ellipse, "after this, we're going to walk down there, and I'll be there with
20 See Attachment 13 - (Video) MPD Arriving at the Capitol
CAPD_000000942
you, we're going to walk down ... to the Capitol and we are going to cheer on our brave
senators and congressmen and women." 21
The crowd then split, with thousands walking north on 17th Street, Northwest, and
thousands walking east on Pennsylvania Avenue towards the Capitol Building. At the
Capitol Building crowds continued to grow as people amassed on the eastern and
western fronts. 22
At 1312 hours, Capitol police began deploying pepperball munitions as the crowd
surged towards the officers. 23 EOD officials announced that there were two confirmed
explosive devices, and that they needed officers at their location. Commander Glover
acknowledged the request and voiced over the police radio that MPD had deployed OC
Spray on the western front of the Capitol. 24 At 1313 hours, Commander Glover
authorized MPD members to don their protective hard gear at the Capitol. Lieutenant
Andrew Horos, of the MPD's SOD, advised that CDU 12 was standing by at MP D's
headquarters and was a hard-gear platoon. Commander Glover requested a DSO team
to respond, as Lieutenant Horos directed CDU 12 to restage at 3rd Street and Maryland
Avenue, SW. 25

Still attempting to push past the police line, the rioters at the Capitol began throwing
bricks and the metal bicycle racks at the officers. Commander Glover asked for CDU 12
to respond to the west front of the Capitol to assist them in maintaining the line.
As CDU 12 and DSO worked to find a way to reach Commander Glover through the
crowd, MPD deployed an Electronic Control Device (ECO) twice at the assaultive
rioters. 26 Commander Glover requested additional munitions and voiced the first report
of an injured MPD officer.
Figure 11: USCP and MPD CDU fight to hold metal barriers Figure 12: Rioters use barriers against officers.
At 1318 hours, Lieutenant Shane Lamond, of the MPD's Intelligence Unit, observed a
group of approximately 50 individuals "charging up the hill" on the west front of the
Capitol. On the front line, rioters had begun dismantling the inaugural scaffolding and
using the dismantled parts as weapons against the officers. Commander Glover again
called for DSO, citing that they had multiple officers injured, as the CDU platoons
battled against metal poles, fireworks, and chemical sprays.
At 1322 hours, CDU 74 announced that they were just reaching 3rd Street and Maryland
Avenue and asked where they should respond. CDU 51 was then re-routed to the 900
block of 15th Street Northwest to assist with a large crowd approaching Black Lives
Matter Plaza. Commander Glover advised that, for the time being, they were able to
hold the line with multiple munitions deployments.
At 1326 hours, Commander Glover voiced that despite multiple injuries to officers, the
police lines were held, as they continued to be assaulted with improvised weapons and
thrown debris.
As the CDU units at the Capitol fought on, a large group of people with helmets and
sticks walked towards the Capitol and joined up with the larger crowd. Commander

Daniel Thau. This investigation was assigned to Agent Maurice Macdonald of the IAD.
11
CAPD_000000944
Glover asked for additional munitions, as the additional DSO members tried to make
their way to his location.
At 1330 hours, Commander Glover requested two additional hard-gear platoons to
respond to the front of the Capitol, while other units voiced their concerns for fights
between opposing protesting groups closer to the White House over the police radio.
With the two separate and large CDU movements, Commander Glover directed all
personnel who were not at the Capitol to switch their communication to a separate radio
channel. At 1243 hours, Commander Glover requested the assistance of the USPP,
voicing that the MPD was out of munitions. CDU 42 voiced over the police radio that
they were in their gear and asked where they should respond.
At 1349 hours, Commander Glover declared the event a "Riot" as people pushed
against barricades on the north side of the Capitol, creating an avenue for rioters to
flood the Capitol steps. 27 By 1350 hours, Commander Glover voiced that the Capitol
had been breached, as throngs of rioters slammed against the doors and windows of
the Capitol building attempting to gain entry. Lieutenant Shane Lamond of the MPD's
Intelligence Division voiced over the police radio that Mr. Alex Jones, a well-known radio
show host, was on the stairs of the Capitol rallying the crowd with a speech. Lieutenant
Lamond commented, "Be advised Alex Jones is actually helping us out. He is urging the
crowd to march around the Capitol, but to back off of from the line." Lieutenant
Lamond's message was repeated as Commander Glover again asked for CDU 42. CDU
42 advised that they were on the north side of the Capitol trying to make their way to the
west front. 28
A faction of the riot branched off and began walking around the Capitol to the east side.
The east side of the Capitol had significantly less police resources and was quickly
overrun by the mob. With few obstacles, the crowd easily moved past the last few

barriers and began pounding against the doors and windows, attempting to gain entry to
the building . 29
Commander Glover stated that the rioters were scaling the scaffolding and moving onto
the inauguration platform, where there were no MPD or USCP officers. Those that had
scaled the scaffolding now had the "high ground" and began throwing objects at the
officers below. Immediately after his transmission, the JOCC voiced at 1354 hours that
USCP were going to start moving their resources inside the Capitol, leaving the MPD to
maintain the exterior police lines.
SOD, DSO, and CDU platoons 21 and 64 battled metal poles, bats, wooden boards,
and other improvised weapons from the crowd. The mob used available objects to erect
a barricade, blocking officers from reaching the upper terrace. Greatly outnumbered and
having exhausted the supply of chemical munitions, Assistant Chief Carroll suggested
that Commander Glover move the MPD resources back and inside the Capitol building.
Commander Glover voiced his opinion that if they moved back, the crowd would have
direct access to the Capitol. At 1405 hours, Commander Glover requested and was
granted permission to deploy CS gas as they attempted to hold the bleachers.
At 1408 hours, CDU 42 made it to the Capitol after having to fight their way through the
crowd . By 1410 hours, rioters were able to scale the northwest stairs and pry open a
door, allowing hundreds of people onto the upper terrace. The MPD was once again
forced to move back and regroup at a higher level. 30 31
On the east side of the building, rioters broke through a window and forced their way
into the Capitol Building. United States Secret Service Agents rushed Vice President
Pence from the Senate chamber into an office, as the various senators and their staff
were ushered to offices and told to seek cover. Rioters tore through the Capitol building
as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was also quickly rushed from the chamber.
On the west front of the building, the rioters held the high ground and were on all sides
of the MPD line. The MPD was forced again to move back as the mob used their
improvised weapons to break through windows and doors. At 1414 hours, Assistant
Chief Carroll directed Lieutenant Haros to pull more resources to the Capitol, to include
extra CDU platoons from the Districts, leaving a small contingency near the White
House to deal with the crowd there. CDU units advised that their area was mostly clear
and asked where they should go to assist. MPD officials voiced their concern that they
were about to "lose the stairs" as CDU platoons continued asking where they were
needed.

CAPD_000000946
With more people surging towards the Senate and approaching from behind the
faltering MPD line, Commander Glover directed all CDU platoons, regardless of their
assignment, to respond to the Capitol. The CDU platoons immediately voiced they were
responding and all asked where they should go. Commander Glover directed them to
the west side of the Capitol.
At 1428 hours, the MPD lost the stairway they were holding, leading Commander
Glover to call "10-33" and direct all MPD officers to fall back to the upper tier of the West
terrace. Inside the Capitol, USCP and staff members barricaded the doors leading to
the House floor with chairs, desks, and any other furniture nearby as hundreds of rioters
roamed the halls. Eventually, as rioters attempted to gain entry through a barricaded
door near the Senate Chamber, Ms. Ashli Babbitt climbed through a secured pathway
and was shot by a USCP member. Ms. Babbitt sustained a fatal gunshot wound. 32
In response to the city-wide request for emergency assistance, additional MPD

members from all districts and divisions responded to the US Capitol to assist. In
addition to the MPD, mutual-aid assistance from surrounding law enforcement agencies
began to arrive.
As the MPD continued to battle to regain control of the riot, multiple CDU platoons along
with Commander Ramey Kyle of the MPD Criminal Investigations Division positioned
themselves inside one of the doors on the west terrace of the US Capitol building to
prevent the rioters from accessing the building through that entrance. Quickly, the MPD
members found that the doors were not secure and instead found themselves fighting a
surge of rioters to hold the corridor. The struggle over the entrance became a protracted
battle during which there were numerous deployments of OC spray and chemical
munitions, much of which largely affected the officers due to the wind conditions. In the
aftermath of the day, the corridor was colloquially referred to as the "tunnel of death" by
MPD officers.
Upon learning that rioters had made it inside, MPD diverted some of its responding
officers to assist the UCSP with securing the building. MPD units quickly observed
hundreds of rioters in the halls and began forming lines to push them away from the
Senate floor and move them out the door.
Over the next two hours, the MPD members battled to hold their positions on the
exterior and interior of the Capitol Building. The officers were struck with weapons of all
manners and in at least two (2) instances members of the MPD were pulled into the
violent crowd and beaten. The MPD officers continued to fight until the influx of officers,
both from the MPD and mutual aid assistance arrived allowing them to push the crowds
back and off the west steps.
32The investigation into the police-involved shooting of Ms. Babbitt was investigated under IS 21-000046.
This investigation was assigned to Agent John Hendrick of the IAD.

At approximately 1740 hours, one hundred fifty (150) members of the D.C. Army
National Guard arrived at the Capitol and began to assist the officers in pushing the
crowd back. Several platoons formed lines and, using loud verbal commands, shouted
"Move back! Move back! Move back!" With their CDU batons in hand, the MPD officers
utilized Level I mechanical force and were able to advance the police line to First Street,
Northwest, clearing the rioters from the US Capitol building and grounds.
Under the authority of the Mayor, the District of Columbia enacted a citywide curfew at
1800 hours. Smaller groups of rioters continued to fight officers along First Street
Northwest and the west lawn of the Capitol. With the crowd size now manageable and
having adequate resources available, MPD began to arrest the individuals who refused
to leave and continued to defy the curfew. A secure perimeter was established around
the US Capitol at 1814 hours. With the Capitol grounds once again secured, the Senate
gaveled back into session and resumed the democratic process by 2000 hours.
A "closeout report" prepared by the JOCC listed 68 total adult arrests on the date of the
incident, which included curfew violators of the Mayor's order. Additionally, it listed Six
(6) firearms were recovered, approximately 60 pieces of police property either lost,
stolen or damaged, 56 MPD members reporting injuries and 180 use of force incidents
as a result of the protests and subsequent riotous activities. 33

WITNESS CANVASS
Due to the hostile environment that MPD members faced from protesters on the scene
of the incident, a proper witness canvass could not be conducted by CDU officials. The
rapidly evolving incident, spanning several locations, coupled with the time afforded
officials on the scenes of these incidents, left little opportunity to canvass and chronicle
force used. This was corrected in this investigation through first person interviews,
eyewitness statements, BWC videos, and a review of social media.

INVOLVED MEMBERS' STATEMENTS
Commander Robert Glover MPD HSB
On March 15, 2021, Commander Robert Glover provided an audio recorded statement
to Agents Sarah Mancuso and David Chumbley of the IAD. The following is a summary
of Commander Glover's statement: 67
Commander Glover reported that on January 6th , 2021, he was the incident commander
for the events taking place known as the "Stop the Steal I MAGA" march. Commander
Glover reported that a traffic post officer called out over the radio that there were three
individuals walking in the 1400 block of Independence Avenue, Northwest, who were
armed with AR-15 style weapons. Commander Glover responded to this location shortly
before 1300 hours. While at this location, Commander Glover noted a large group of
"orange hats" with "Don't Tread on Me" flags heading east towards the Capitol.
Commander Glover was notified by Chief Carroll via telephone that the U.S. Capitol
Police were working a potential explosive device at the RNC. Commander Glover
directed EOD to respond to the area to assist U.S. Capitol Police. Commander Glover
responded to the area as well. While in route, Chief Carroll notified Commander Glover
that U.S. Capitol Police was requesting assistance from MPD CDU elements.
Commander Glover ordered three MPD CDU platoons to respond to the Capitol.
Commander Glover staged the three CDU platoons in the 100 block Maryland Avenue.
Upon staging at that location, Commander Glover repositioned a CDU platoon to 3 rd
and Maryland Avenue, and took the other two CDU platoons on foot to the Capitol.
Commander Glover and the two CDU platoons responded to the West side of the
Capitol and observed a large crowd of 10 to 15 thousand demonstrators. Commander
66 Previously referenced as Attachment 6 - JOCC Closeout report
67 See Attachment 48 - (Audio) Interview of Commander Robert Glover
43
CAPD_000000976
Glover noted that there was virtually no U.S. Capitol Police presence. Commander
Glover and the CDU platoons found their way to the lower inaugural platform where he
made contact with a U.S. Capitol Police Deputy Chief. Commander Glover noted that
the U.S. Capitol police officers on the platform were mixed between a "hard" and "soft"
presence . U.S. Capitol Police officers were utilizing force to hold the crowd back. There
were numerous Capitol Police officers who were injured by that point. Commander
Glover ordered the third CDU platoon to respond. Commander Glover described the
crowd as being assaultive. Commander Glover noted that the crowd was deploying bear
spray, smoke, CS gas, and other unknown substances on the officers. The crowds were
using bike racks as battering rams against the police lines as well as pieces of
scaffolding from the inaugural stand. The crowd had also managed to obtain shields
from the Capitol Police officers and utilized them against the established police lines.
Commander Glover ordered the DSO teams to respond to the Capitol.
Commander Glover immediately authorized the deployment of OC spray and less-lethal

munitions. Commander Glover sought and received permission from Chief Carroll to
deployed CS gas. Commander Glover reported that "copious" amounts of CS gas was
deployed. Commander Glover noted that dozens of officers were injured. The crowd
had surged and began to encircle the police line. Commander Glover ordered the police
line to fall back to the upper terrace. Commander Glover decided to call a 10-33 at that
point. The police line re-established on the top platform of the inaugural stand. By this
point, rioters had gained a foothold on the inaugural platform, the press towers,
construction trailers, and had already breached the Capitol. Commander Glover noted
that every MPD CDU platoon working that day responded to the Capitol. During the
incident, Commander Glover requested that outside agencies who were on stand-by
respond. Prince Georges County PD responded to the north side of the upper terrace.
Arlington County PD, Montgomery County PD, and CDU 23 took the north stairwell of
the inaugural platform to prevent the inflow of rioters to the upper terrace. USPP and
MPD ERT members cleared the top deck of the inaugural reviewing stand.
Commander Kyle oversaw the middle terrace entrance way. Upon Virginia State Police
arriving at the Capitol, Commander Glover directed them to Commander Kyle. VSP
assisted with clearing the tunnel way. Commander Glover reported that he deployed his
40mm EIW multiple times. Commander Glover reported that he deployed 40mm sting-
ball munitions and baton rounds. Commander Glover estimated that he deployed his
40mm EIW on six occasions and threw approximately ten (10) sting-ball grenades.
Commander Glover reported that Sergeant Thau deployed multiple ECD's during the
incident. Commander Glover reported that Sergeant Thau also deployed hand thrown
sting-balls as well. Commander Glover decided to conduct a push of the crowd to the
north. VSP deployed a flash-bang munition inside the tunnel. This had great effect and
allowed the police line to advance out of the tunnel and clear all of the rioters from that
area. Commander Glover had instructed the outside agencies that all use of force
options were on the table and that the agency should operate according to their
respective use of force policies. Once Commander Glover saw that VSP had made it
out of the tunnel he decided to ramp up the push of the rioters. Once the police line
44
CAPD_000000977
made it to the lower level of the reviewing stand the police line formed into a wedge due
to the high walls of the Capitol steps. The police elements had to extract rioters off of
this wall and direct them down to the next level. Once the police line reached the lowest
level, the line extended north and south. The push continued to 1st Street. Commander
Glover then decided to continue the push until the police line reached Pennsylvania
Avenue.
By this time, the curfew was established and warnings were given. Commander Glover
directed MPD units to encircle the rioters who violated the curfew order. Numerous
arrests were made and a handgun was recovered from one of the rioters. These arrests
occurred in the 200 block of Independence Avenue . Commander Glover utilized other
outside agencies to replace MPD members on the police line that was established
around the Capitol and on Pennsylvania. Commander Glover reported that a majority of
the crowd had on protective gear and utilized small team tactics to surge the crowd
against the police lines. Commander Glover reported that the force he observed being
used against the rioters was within the established MPD general orders. Commander
Glover also noted that in many cases the officers were fighting for their lives and he
believed that the use of deadly force may happen at multiple times throughout this
incident. Commander Glover believed that the crowd was trying to kill officers.
Commander Glover noted that MPD's function was not to make arrests as they cleared
the Capitol grounds. The arrests that were made were handled by U.S . Capitol Police.
Commander Glover noted that this was not a 1st Amendment Assembly; it was an
armed insurrection.
Lieutenant Andrew Haros DSO, SOD
On March 4, 2021, Lieutenant Andrew Haros provided an audio recorded statement to

Agents Sarah Mancuso and David Chumbley of the IAD. The following is a summary of
Lieutenant Haros' statement: 68
Lieutenant Haros and two DSO teams responded to the U.S. Capitol at the request of
Commander Glover. Lieutenant Haros arrived at the Capitol around 1300 hours and
responded to the west front of the Capitol. Upon Lieutenant Haros' arrival, a police line
had been established in front of the inaugural scaffolding. Rioters were attempting to
remove the bike rack barricades. Rioters were throwing rebar at officers as well as other
metal objects. The rioters were also deploying bear spray and wasp spray at officers.
Lieutenant Haros reported that rioters had climbed the scaffolding and were dropping
objects onto officers. This was an area of concern because it was the only area that a
CDU platoon could not be deployed because of the infrastructure. Lieutenant Haros
reported that he deployed a sting-ball grenade in this area to disperse rioters. However,
due to the density of the crowd it did not take effect. Lieutenant Haros reported that
based on the tactics used by the rioters he concluded that most of them had prior law
enforcement or military training. Lieutenant Haros reported that DSO members armed
with 40mm EIW's deployed aerial burst munitions, sting-balls munitions, QC skat, and
68 See Attachment 49 - (Audio) Interview of Lieutenant Andrew Haros
45
CAPD_000000978
CS skat. Hand-thrown munitions included sting-ball grenades, CS burners, CS blast
canisters, and triple chasers.
Lieutenant Haros reported that the rioters were pulling officers into the crowd, removing
their helmets, and striking them in the head with sticks and batons. Lieutenant Haros
reported that numerous MPD officers were injured. Lieutenant Haros reported that he
went through several MK-9 OC spray canisters at the initial police CDU line. Eventually
that CDU line gave way and the police elements fell back to the upper terrace of the
west side of the Capitol. Lieutenant Haros estimated that he deployed 5 to six hand
thrown sting-ball grenades throughout the entire incident.
Lieutenant Haros reported that he and other MPD members found themselves inside
the Rotunda of the Capitol. Numerous rioters were inside the Rotunda. Lieutenant
Haros and other MPD members deployed OC spray inside the rotunda to clear out the
rioters. Lieutenant Haros reported that no munitions were deployed inside the Rotunda.
Once the rotunda was cleared Lieutenant Haros responded back outside the Capitol
where police lines had been re-established. Once outside, the police line was pelted
with numerous objects by the rioters. A push of the rioters off of the terrace and the
steps of the Capitol occurred. During that push, DSO deployed approximately two sting-
ball grenades. Once the push halted at 1st street, Lieutenant Haros responded back
inside with other DSO members to the tunnel where Commander Kyle and other assets
were positioned. Once inside the tunnel, Lieutenant Haros observed numerous injured
officers. VSP responded to the tunnel to assist with clearing the rioters. VSP deployed a
flashbang inside the tunnel. Rioters were assaulting officers by punching them and
hitting them with flag poles. Lieutenant Haros deployed multiple sting-balls inside the
tunnel. Officers inside the tunnel were able to push the rioters out and eventually
cleared the tunnel. Once outside of the tunnel, additional police lines were established.
Lieutenant Haros reported that this was the most violent riot that he has been involved
in during his law enforcement career. Lieutenant Haros reported that at one point he
observed a rioter beating an MPD member over the head with a piece of rebar.
Lieutenant Haros described this action as someone hitting a pifiata.
Senior Sergeant Frank Edwards DSO, SOD
On March 4, 2021, Senior Sergeant Frank Edwards provided an audio recorded

statement to Agents Sarah Mancuso and David Chumbley of the IAD. The following is a
summary of Sergeant Edwards' statement: 69
Sergeant Edwards reported that he and other members of the DSO were working the
0530 hours tour of duty until relieved. Sergeant Edwards reported that he and his DSO
team responded to the U.S. Capitol at the request of Commander Glover. Sergeant
Edwards responded to the west front of the Capitol. Sergeant Edwards reported that the
rioters were throwing objects at police officers. These objects included rocks, metal
69 See Attachment 50 - (Audio) Interview of Senior Sergeant Frank Edwards
46
CAPD_000000979
couplings from scaffolding, and poles. Numerous rioters were deploying bear spray and
wasp spray at the officers.
Sergeant Edwards reported that he deployed aerial burst munitions, foam baton rounds,
rubber baton rounds, CS and OC skat rounds from his 40mm EIW. Sergeant Edwards
was not sure how many munitions he deployed throughout the incident. Sergeant
Edwards reported that he wanted to deploy more munitions but the wind conditions
were not favorable. Sergeant Edwards and several MPD officers succumbed to the
effects and the CS and OC that was deployed and relocated to inside the rotunda. Once
inside the rotunda and after they had a chance to recover, Sergeant Edwards and other
MPD officer assisted with clearing out the rioters from inside the Capitol. Once back
outside the Capitol, Sergeant Edwards supported the CDU line that pushed rioters off of
the upper terrace of the Capitol. Sergeant Edwards responded to the "tunnel of death"
to assist with that operation. Inside the tunnel, Sergeant Edwards deployed a skat
rounds and rubber baton rounds. The tunnel was eventually cleared of rioters and
additional police lines were established outside the Capitol. Sergeant Edwards reported
that he used physical force (push) to clear rioters off of the Capitol grounds.
Sergeant Anthony Alioto DSO, SOD
On Thursday March 4, 2021, Sergeant Anthony Alioto provided an audio recorded

statement to Agent Pulliam. The following is a summary of Sergeant Alioto's statement:
70
On January 6, 2021, Sergeant Alioto was assigned to the Domestic Security Office
(DSO). As a member of DSO, Sergeant Alioto oversees the MPD's response to Hazmat
scenes and Civil Disturbances. During the morning, Sergeant Alioto and DSO were
standing by near Freedom Plaza where there was scheduled to be a demonstration.
Around 1300 hours, Commander Glover requested the DSO to respond to the US
Capitol. As soon as the Sergeant Alioto started approaching the Capitol, he observed
that a large and volatile crowd had amassed around the west lawn of the Capitol.
Sergeant Alioto reported that the crowd was throwing rocks, metal scaffolding, and hard
objects in addition to spraying bear and wasp spray at the officers. Sergeant Alioto
started trying to establish a police line while deploying munitions in an attempt to move
the crowds back. While the munitions were able to provide a brief relief, ultimately the
officers were forced to fall back to the upper terrace and ultimately responded into the
Capitol Building where they assisted in clearing the rioters from the building. Sergeant
Alioto believed that outside of additional munitions and manpower there was nothing
else the MPD could have done to hold back the crowd.

CAPD_000000980
Sergeant Daniel Thau ASU, SOD
On Thursday March 4, 2021, Sergeant Daniel Thau provided an audio recorded

statement to Agent Pulliam. The following is a summary of Sergeant Thau's statement:
71
On January 6, 2021, Sergeant Thau was assigned to operate a munitions team leader
with the Domestic Security Office (DSO) . As a munitions team leader Sergeant Thau
was tasked to oversee the DSO officers supply and use of munitions depending on the
various situations that might arise. On January 6, 2021 Sergeant Thau monitored the
later morning events, realizing that the US Capitol could potentially be a target after
listening to President Trump's speech at the Ellipse.
Accordingly, Sergeant Thau prepared a "Full Load Out" of munitions to include hand
thrown and 40mm OC, OC Spray canisters, and CS gas. At approximately 1300 hours
Sergeant Thau was at Third and Constitution with Lieutenant Ronald Wilkins, Captain
Daniel Harrington and Commander Robert Glover when Assistant Chief of Police
Jeffery Carroll relayed to Commander Glover that the Capitol was being breached and
that they would be calling a "10-33" to respond there.
Sergeant Thau stated that as he started to respond he did not understand the
magnitude of what was occurring until he arrived and observed USCP overrun,
barricades being used by the crowd against officers, scaffolding being torn down, hard
metal object being thrown at officers, officers bleeding from the head, and what he
described as an uncontrolled Riot.
Upon their arrival Sergeant Thau and the MPD's immediate objective was to form a
police line on the west lawn. Sergeant Thau stated that the only special weapon he was
initially armed with was an MK9 OC dispenser which held 9 ounces of OC spray.
Sergeant Thau immediately utilized the MK9 on the assaultive and violent crowd in an
attempt to disperse and distract them from their riotous behavior.
Sergeant Thau mentioned that throughout the past year OC spray was sufficiently
effective in dispersing unlawful and riotous crowds but that the OC spray and MPD
munitions were not working as an effective deterrent to this amassed group. Once
MPD's munitions were exhausted, Sergeant Thau turned to UCSP and asked them to
bring out any and all munitions they might have. When they did not supply Sergeant
Thau with any additional resources, Sergeant Thau started using physical force and his
ASP baton in an attempt to stop the onslaught of assaultive rioters who were still
pushing towards the Capitol Building.
71 See Attachment 52 - (Audio) Interview of Sergeant Daniel Thau
48
CAPD_000000981
After an hour or so of holding the line at the west lawn, Sergeant Thau and DSO officers
were forced up the stairs, under scaffolding, and onto a lower terrace. Eventually
Sergeant Thau and the MPD held various points and lines on the US Capitol. Over the
next hours, Sergeant Thau used the following munitions:
• One hand-thrown smoke munition

• Three Stinger Grenades
• Multiple Rubber Ball Blast Grenades (exact number unknown)
• Multiple OC Blast hand-thrown munitions (exact number unknown)
• Multiple CS Blast hand-thrown munitions (exact number unknown)
• Two OC SKAT rounds
Sergeant Thau's stated intent for use of the munitions was to keep the rioters back from
the line of officers so that ideally the officers were not forced to use physical force. This
objective was not achieved and instead the officers were almost constantly forced to
push back against the crowd . Sergeant Thau expressed his observation that many of
the people in the crowd were wearing body armor and he feared that if he or the MPD
used deadly force (service pistols) it would have been more of an instigator than a
deterrent.
Sergeant Thau stated that the rioters were a crowd unlike anything he had experienced
before.
He worried that police officers were going to be beaten to death, and the crowds were
going to gain full access to the Capitol. Eventually Sergeant Thau responded to the
doorway that was referred to as the "Tunnel of Death." The tunnel was eventually
cleared of rioters and additional police lines were established outside the Capitol,
ultimately leading in a mass arrest.
Officer Richard Khoury D5O, SOD
On March 4, 2021, Officer Richard Khoury provided an audio recorded statement to

Agents Sarah Mancuso and David Chumbley of the IAD. The following is a summary of
Officer Khoury's' statement: 72
Officer Khoury reported that he and other members of the DSO responded to the west
front of the Capitol at the request of Commander Glover. Upon arrival, Officer Khoury
observed a large riotous crowd who were assaulting MPD officers. The CDU line was
established at the foot of the Capitol stairs. Rioters were attempting remove the bike
rack barricades that had been erected. Officer Khoury deployed multiple bursts of OC
spray from his MK-9 at that location. Officer Khoury reported that the rioters were
assaulting officers with metal poles and other objects. Officer Khoury reported that the
rioters were spraying the officers with bear spray and wasp spray. The CDU line broke
72 See Attachment 53 - (Audio) Interview of Officer Richard Khoury
49
CAPD_000000982
and relocated to the upper terrace of the west front. Once on the upper terrace, Officer
Khoury deployed three to four sting-ball munitions from his 40mm EIW at the crowd.
Officer Khoury deployed OC and CS skat rounds at rioters who had climbed the
scaffolding and were throwing objects at officers.
Officer Gregory Rock DSO, SOD
On March 4, 2021, Officer Gregory rock provided an audio recorded statement to Agent
Joseph Della Camera of the IAD. The following is a summary of Officer Rock's
statement: 73
Officer Rock reported that he was working the 1500-2400 hours tour of duty and was
assigned to the DSO. Officer Rock arrived at the west front of the Capitol shortly after
1500 hours. Officer Rock linked up with PGPD and entered the Capitol grounds from
the south and worked their way around to the front. Officer Rock reported that the crowd
was hostile and assaultive and would not respond to verbal commands. A CDU line was
established and a push of the crowd was conducted to the north. Rioters were throwing
objects at officers. Officer Rock deployed multiple bursts of QC spray at rioters who
were assaultive. Officer Rock utilized mechanical force to push rioters off of the Capitol
grounds. Officer Rock responded the tunnel to assist with clearing rioters from that area.
Inside the tunnel, there were multiple injured officers. MPD and VSP pushed the rioters
out of the tunnel and onto the lower terrace of the Capitol. Rioters disassembled parts of
the scaffolding and assaulted officers with metal poles. Officer Rock deployed a single
QC skat round from his 40mm EIW at these individuals to disperse them which was
effective.
Officer Tara Tindall DSO, SOD
On March 4, 2021, Officer Tara Tindall provided an audio recorded statement to Agent
Joseph Della Camera of the IAD. The following is a summary of Officer Tindall's
statement: 74
On January 6, 2021, Officer Tindall and Officer Crisman responded to the U.S. Capitol
shortly after 1300 hours at the request of Commander Glover. Upon arrival, Officer
Tindall observed a large crowd at the U.S. Capitol. The crowd was assaultive towards
officers and were throwing objects. Officer Tindall noticed blood on the upper terrace on
the Capitol. Officer Tindall observed numerous injured officers who were bleeding from
facial injuries. Officer Tindall was there to provide munitions support to the MPD CDU
units. Officer Tindall deployed numerous sting-ball rounds and OC skat rounds from her
40mm EIW at the riotous crowd. Officer Tindall deployed these munitions at rioters who
were assaultive towards officers. Officer Tindall reported that many individuals in the

POLICE WITNESS STATEMENTS
Chief of Police Robert J. Contee Ill MPD
On January 26, 2021, Chief Robert Contee Ill provided verbal testimony to the United
States House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations. The following are
excerpts from that testimony: 109
"Good morning, Chairwoman Delaura, Ranking Member Granger, and members of the
Committee. I am Robert J. Contee, Ill, the Acting Chief of Police of the Metropolitan
Police Department of the District of Columbia, the primary police force in the District of
Columbia. I appreciate this opportunity to brief you on the events of January 6, 2021, a
dark day for our country. It is critically important that we - members of Congress,
District leaders and policy makers, D.C. residents, and all Americans - find answers to
questions about the 6th. I will relate to you the facts as we know them at this time,
based on the point of view of the MPD and the government of the District of Columbia.
As with any event with multiple agencies, thousands of people, and almost as many
cameras as people, there will inevitably be several perspectives and possibly
inconsistencies that will need to be aligned as we gather more information. That
process has been understandably delayed by the massive security operations around
the 59th Presidential Inauguration, but certainly will be a focus for all involved agencies
in the months to come.

Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Metropolitan Police Department take pride in protecting all
groups, regardless of their beliefs, who come to the Nation's Capitol to exercise their
First Amendment rights "peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a
redress of grievances."1 The Metropolitan Police Department is a recognized leader in
protecting and supporting these peaceful assemblies. On the morning of January 6th,
MPD was prepared to support our federal partners with a First Amendment assembly
that was held primarily on federal land, while continuing to patrol and respond to calls
for service throughout city neighborhoods. Based on our experience with prior
demonstrations in the District after the election, we recognized that there was a
possibility of pockets of violence, especially after dark as smaller groups of protestors
gathered with malicious intent on city streets. In the aftermath of the December 12th
protests, MPD met with our federal partners to escalate planning for January 6th .
In preparation for the anticipated demonstrations, the Department was fully deployed on
12-hour shifts prior to January 6th, with no officers on day-off or leave. Our federal
partners each had their primary areas of responsibility: the U.S. Secret Service (USSS)
was focused on the security of former President Donald Trump and the White House
area, U.S. Park Police (USPP) was focused on the Ellipse and the National Mall, and
the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) had responsibility for the Capitol, including both the
building and grounds. At Mayor Bowser's request, and in advance of the scheduled
demonstrations, mutual aid was requested from several area police departments to be
on standby in the District, and more than 300 members of the D.C. National Guard were
deployed on District streets providing traffic control and other services to allow MPD to
support the First Amendment assembly and continue to provide services to our
neighborhoods. Other law enforcement partners such as the Metropolitan Transit Police
and non-law enforcement agencies such as the District's Homeland Security and
Emergency Management Agency and the Fire and Emergency Medical Services
Department, were also supporting our efforts.
However, these resources were barely enough to counter an event that had never
happened in the history of the United States: a mob of thousands launching a violent
assault on the U.S. Capitol - the seat of our government - in an attempt to halt the
counting of the electoral ballots, an essential step in the peaceful transfer of power in
our nation. The mob's sustained assault on the Capitol precipitated an equally
unprecedented response, with then Chief of the Capitol Police Steve Sund issuing an
urgent request for MPD to come defend the Capitol. Needless to say, when we received
the call for help, MPD responded immediately with several Civil Disturbance Unit
Platoons and proceeded to aid Capitol Police in defending the Capitol. What follows is a
brief outline of MPD's role in these events.
At about 12:45 p.m., the first of two pipe bombs were found, the first one at the
Republican National Committee headquarters. The second pipe bomb was found about
30 minutes later, at the Democratic National Committee headquarters. MPD responded
to the scenes for the pipe bombs to assist the Capitol Police. At 12:58 p.m ., Chief Sund
asked for MPD's assistance. Officers were immediately authorized to deploy to the west
68
CAPD_000001001
front of the Capitol and arrived within minutes. Additional officers were on standby at
Third Street SW and Maryland Avenue SW.
Our members arrived at a chaotic scene. The violent mob overran protective measures
at the Capitol in an attempted insurrection, prior to MPD officers' arrival to the west
front. By 1:50 p.m., MPD had declared the assembly to be a riot. Upon arrival, the MPD
platoons immediately began working to achieve our objectives:
1) Stop rioters from entering the Capitol building and remove those that were
already inside,
2) Secure a perimeter, so that the Capitol could be cleared for lawmakers,
3) Enable Congress to resume their sessions to demonstrate to our country and the
world that our democracy was still intact, and
4) Lastly, only once the third objective had been accomplished, begin making
arrests of anyone violating the law.
At 2:22 p.m., a call was convened with, among others, myself, leadership of the Capitol
Police, the D.C. National Guard, and the Department of the Army. I was stunned at the
tepid response from Department of the Army, which was reluctant to send the D.C.
National Guard to the Capitol. While I certainly understand the importance of both
planning and public perception - the factors cited by the staff on the call - these issues
become secondary when you are watching your employees, vastly outnumbered by a
mob, being physically assaulted. I was able to quickly deploy my force and issue
directives to them while they were in the field, and I was honestly shocked that the
National Guard could not - or would not - do the same. On the call, in an effort to seek
clarification, I asked the Capitol Police Chief if he were in fact requesting the assistance
of the National Guard and then asked the U.S. Army representatives on the call if they
were refusing to deploy the Guard to assist. The Army staff responded that they were
not refusing to send them, but wanted to know the plan and did not like the optics of
boots on the ground at the Capitol.
In the meantime, by 2:30 p.m. the District had requested additional officers from as far
away as New Jersey and issued notice of an emergency citywide curfew beginning at 6
p.m. Just before 3 p.m., the District issued a citywide Wireless Emergency Alert
declaring a curfew in effect from 6 p.m. until 7 a.m. on January 7th . The alert can be
heard going off on the cell phones of insurgents in some of the videos taken on the
Capitol grounds. From that point, it took another three and a half hours until all rioters
were removed from the Capitol. Ninety minutes later, at 8 p.m., Congress was able to
resume its critical work and fulfill its constitutional duty.
Shortly after MPD officers arrived on the scene, I was able to stand on the west front of
the capitol to get a broad view of the riot as many of MPD's brave officers made their
way to the front line. Our police officers were under attack, the Capitol - hallowed
69
CAPD_000001002
ground for our country - was under attack, and the constitutional electoral process - the
very foundation of our democracy - was under attack. MPD's police officers were
engaged in a literal battle for hours. Many were forced into hand-to-hand combat to
prevent more rioters from gaining entry into the Capitol. This was not a peaceful protest;
this was not a crowd trying to express their first amendment rights - rights which we are
proud to protect regardless of belief. At the end of the day, this was an assault on our
democracy, and MPD officers held the line.
Those seven hours, between the urgent call for help from the Capitol Police to MPD and
the resumption of work by both houses of Congress, will be indelibly etched on the
memories of every law enforcement officer who was on the scene, as it is undoubtedly
in the minds of the elected officials, congressional staff, and other Capitol employees
who were forced to seek safety behind locked doors. The costs for this insurrection -
both human and monetary - will be steep. The immediate fiscal impact is still being
calculated. The costs for this insurrection - both human and monetary - will be steep.
The immediate fiscal impact is still being calculated. During the height of the incident,
approximately 850 MPD members were at the Capitol, and by the day's end, an
additional estimate of 250 had been in the area to directly support the response and
aftermath. MPD's estimate for the week of the insurrection is approximately $8.8 million.
The Mayor's Budget Office will send more information next week about total District
costs. Looking forward, resources from MPD, Capitol Police, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, and the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia will be
engaged for years in the investigation and prosecution of the insurgents, which, in the
face of finite resources, will present opportunity costs for investigation and prosecution
of other crimes.
Five people lost their lives on January 6th - Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick and
four others. And tragically, two officers who were at the Capitol on January 6th, one
each from the Capitol Police and MPD, took their own lives in the aftermath of that
battle. We honor the service and sacrifices of Officers Brian Sicknick, Howard
Liebengood, and Jeffery Smith, and offer condolences to all the grieving families. Sixty-
five MPD members sustained injuries documented in injury reports. Many more
sustained injuries from the assault - scratches, bruises, eyes burning from bear mace -
that they did not even bother to report. People around the country and the world were
shocked and moved by the video of MPD Officer Michael Fanone being beaten by a
crowd of insurgents, including one wielding an American flag, and of Officer Daniel
Hodges in agony as he was crushed between a door and a riot shield. Their fellow
officers at MPD and elsewhere are proud of their bravery in the face of this unprovoked
and vicious attack. That bravery was matched that day by countless other unheralded
MPD officers.
Other harm from this traumatic day will be widely felt but possibly unacknowledged. Law
enforcement training neither anticipates nor prepares for hours of hand-to-hand combat.
Even brief physical fights are physically and emotionally draining. MPD is working to
support the emotional well-being of our officers who experienced this. The officers who
were deployed elsewhere on the 6th share in the trauma of their colleagues, many
70
CAPD_000001003
frustrated that they could not rush in to stand on the line with them. And like everyone in
the Capitol that day, we all have families and friends who watched the violence
unfolding and worried about the safety of their loved ones.
In closing, I appreciate the opportunity to highlight the heroism of MPD officers who put
their bodies on the line to protect the Capitol, Congress, and our democracy. But to
ensure the continued safety of the District and its residents, the federal enclave, MPD
officers, and others, we must be frank in looking at several critical issues. This assault
on the Capitol has exposed weaknesses in the security of the most secure city in the
country. The federal police forces in DC will be reexamining their security protocols
given the risks of both foreign and domestic terrorism. As the Chief of the District's
municipal police force, I must think about our preparations not only for possible attacks,
but the daily impact of the changing operations of our federal partners. As they harden
targets in the federal enclave, other buildings in the city under MPD jurisdiction may
become more likely targets."
Assistant Chief Jeffery Carroll HSB,DSO
On March 15, 2021, Assistant Chief Jeffery Carroll provided an audio recorded
statement to Agents David Chumbley and Sarah Mancuso of the IAD. The following is a
summary of Assistant Chief Carroll's statement: 110
Assistant Carroll reported that on January 5th, 2021, he was contacted by U.S. Capitol
Police Chief Steven Sund who requested that MPD provided support to the USCP.
Assistant Chief Carroll directed Commander Glover and other MPD assets to respond
to the Capitol to assist USCP. Additionally, Assistant Chief Carroll became aware of two
(2) explosive devices that were located near the Capitol. MPD EOD was dispatched to
assist USCP with those devices. Assistant Chief Carroll responded to staging area
regarding the explosive devices. Upon his arrival, Assistant Chief Carroll recognized
that a blast area had not been cordoned off by USCP and directed MPD motor assets to
cut off traffic and establish a safety zone around the devices.
As Assistant Chief Carroll was dealing with the explosive devices, he was notified by
Commander Glover that additional resources were needed at the Capitol. It was
apparent to Assistant Chief Carroll that the situation at the Capitol was escalating.
Based on his conversation with Commander Glover, Assistant Chief Carroll decided to
authorize the deployment of OC spray and CS munitions. Assistant Chief Carroll then
responded to the west front of the Capitol and linked up with Commander Glover.
Assistant Chief Carroll was advised by the JOCC that USCP officers were pulling back
into the building. Assistant Chief Carroll reported that the decision to pull USCP officers
inside the Capitol caused MPD to lose ground and forced MPD to pull back their
resources because of the loss of manpower. MPD elements were forced to withdraw to
the upper terrace of the Capitol.

CAPD_000001004
Assistant Chief Carroll reported that rioters were throwing objects off of the top of the
Inaugural reviewing stand at officers. These objects included pipes and fire
extinguishers. Commander Glover briefed Assistant Chief Carroll on the situation.
Assistant Chief Carroll noted that there were several thousand rioters on the Capitol
grounds at that time. Assistant Chief Carroll described the event as the most violent riot
he has seen in his law enforcement career. Commander Glover and Assistant Chief
Carroll decided that the best strategy was to establish police lines with the incoming
resources and push the rioters off of the upper terrace. Assistant Chief Carroll received
a call from Major Mark Adamchik of the U.S. Park Police who advised that the USCP
did not have a clear plan of action and that he (Carroll) should respond back to the
unified command center. Assistant Chief Carroll responded back to the unified
commander center.
Assistant Chief Carroll meet with Major Adamchik, Chief Sund and other support
element leaders. The strategy was to assemble resources, conduct a push of the rioters
off of the terrace and clear the inaugural reviewing stand of rioters. The goal was to
push the rioters as far as pt Street to 1st Street and Constitution to Independence
Avenue. Once at that location, hold the line and reinforce the line with fencing. MPD and
other law enforcement elements were eventually able to clear the Capitol and
accomplish the strategic goals.
CIVILIAN WITNESS STATEMENTS
Mr. Markwayne Mullin
On January 8, 2021, United States Representative Mr. Markwayne Mullin provided an

audio-recorded statement to Agent John Hendrick of the Internal Affairs Division (IAD).
The following is a brief summary of Mr. Mullin's statement: 111
Mr. Mullin stated that on January 6, 2021, there were a number of Members on the
House Floor, to include the balconies, debating the Electoral College. Mr. Mullin
recalled hearing several radio transmissions over the US Capitol officers' radios and
then reported seeing several social media images coming over his mobile device. Mr.
Mullin then explained that a US Capitol Police Lieutenant approached the Speaker's
area and gave an update on what was transpiring outside and then inside the US
Capitol.
Mr. Mullin then began hearing noises that sounded like someone was beating on the
doors outside of the House Chamber. Mr. Mullin reported that he then began assisting
US Capitol officers with barricading the doors that led into the House Chamber. Mr.
Mullin advised that he had some more conversations with the US Capitol officers and
then he began to hear glass breaking. Mr. Mullin explained that the rioters may have
been using a "glass punch" to break the windows. Mr. Mullin further explained that this
sound can be misinterpreted as "gunshots."
111 See Attachment 91 - (Audio) Interview of Representative Markwayne Mullin
72
CAPD_000001005
Upon hearing the glass being broken, someone on the House Floor began yelling,
"Shots fired," and a US Capitol police officer broadcasted that shots had been fired over
the radio as well. Mr. Mullin recognized that the sounds were not gunshots.
Mr. Mullin stated that as the rioters continued to bang and rattle the House Chambers
doors, a plan was being devised to try and evacuate the remaining members from
inside of the House Chamber. The House Chamber members subsequently went out
into the Speakers Lobby and were escorted down the west stairwell.
Mr. Mullin explained that shortly thereafter, he observed Lieutenant Byrd, who appeared
to be alone, in the Speakers Lobby utilizing a pillar as cover/concealment, pointing his
service pistol at the doors to the Speakers Lobby. This area was a main concentration
of where the rioters were attempting to breach the House Chamber. Mr. Mullin recalled
hearing Lieutenant Byrd giving loud verbal commands, stating that he (Lieutenant Byrd)
would "shoot." Mr. Mullin stated that Lieutenant Byrd was giving other commands but
he could not clearly understand what was being stated.
Mr. Mullin related that he again heard the sound of glass breaking and then heard what
sounded like two gunshots; however, he was not absolutely sure on the number of
gunshots he heard. Mr. Mullin felt that Lieutenant Byrd did everything he could do in an
effort to protect the remaining Members who were trapped in the balconies of the House
Chamber. Mr. Mullin stated that in his opinion, Lieutenant Byrd saved a number of
people's lives when he discharged his service pistol.
Mr. Mullin explained that if Ms. Babbitt would have breached the Speakers Lobby, a
number of other rioters would have followed Ms. Babbitt. Mr. Mullin felt that if this had
occurred the rioters could have easily taken Lieutenant Byrd's service pistol from him,
and utilize the service pistol not only against him (Lieutenant Byrd) but the other
Members who were still inside the House Chamber as well as additional rioters lives.
Mr. Mullin stated that after Lieutenant Byrd had discharged his service pistol, he was
definitely visibly shaken.

DISCREPANCIES AND CLARIFICATIONS
Why were no subjects of force identified in this investigation?
The use of force incidents under review in this investigation occurred during civil unrest
and riotous events in which police officers were vastly outnumbered. The use of force in
this investigation was meant to disperse rioters and prevent further assaults on law
enforcement, and to defend the U.S. Capitol and the lawmakers inside. The force was
not meant to incapacitate a subject in order to arrest them. Effecting an arrest, while
being surrounded by thousands of rioters, is not feasible. Those who were affected by
the force used in the incident often faded back into the crowd or ran off and left the
immediate vicinity. The totality of the circumstances left law enforcement unable to
identify the subjects of force.
What is the D.C. Code definition of a riot?
D.C. Code: § 22-1322: Rioting or inciting to riot: A riot in the District of Columbia is a
public disturbance involving an assemblage of 5 or more persons which by tumultuous
and violent conduct or the threat thereof creates grave danger of damage or injury to
property or persons.
Does the First Amendment of the Constitution allow for person(s) to assemble
and act in a manner that is tumultuous and violent under the guise of exercising
free speech?
No. The First Amendment of the Constitution states, "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or
104
CAPD_000001037

UNITED STATES ATTORNEY'S OFFICE REVIEW
Due to the fact that this is an administrative investigation, this case was not presented
to the United States Attorney's Office (USAO).
TACTICAL ANALYSIS
Law Enforcement officers were vastly outnumbered by violent and tumultuous groups of
rioters that descended upon the U.S. Capitol with the intent to stop the certification of
the 2020 Presidential election. These groups were intent on wholesale destruction and
chaos as they freely assaulted law enforcement officers. These violent rioters
overwhelmed the U.S. Capitol police officers who were guarding the U.S. Capitol. MPD
was requested to respond to U.S Capitol to thwart the deliberate assault on the U.S.
Capitol. Members of the MPD are arguably the most experienced crowd managers in
the United States. However, this specific experience had not been encountered by the
MPD before. The MPD CDU response elements relied on their crowd management
training and our use of force policies. The members couldn't have been prepared for
what they experienced during these riots due to the sheer magnitude of lawlessness
and lack of conformity to societal norms displayed by the criminal riotous crowds. It was
clear from the onset of this encounter that the riotous crowd was organized, trained, well
equipped, and very determined to carry out their objectives. This incident differed from
the numerous riots that occurred over the summer of 2020. This was not a First
Amendment demonstration that turned violent as we saw over the summer of 2020.
This was a deliberate attack on the U.S. Capitol and our democracy. Violent criminals
assaulted officers, breached the police lines, and stormed the U.S. Capitol.
The weather conditions, specifically the high winds blowing in the direction of the
officers, rendered many of the chemical munitions ineffective. Many members reported
suffering from the effects of QC Spray and CS gas, which blew back at the officers after
being deployed. This significantly hindered the officers' ability stop the crowd from
forward advancement. Further, due to the tightly packed crowd of rioters, traditional less
lethal munitions, such as stingballs, did not have the dispersal range typically seen.
MPD SOP-16-01, Handling First Amendment Assemblies and Mass Demonstrations, is

the guiding policy concerning the use of force chronicled in this investigation. The
following force options were available to the CDU squads under this SOP and certain
criteria needed to be met for these options to be utilized by policy.
Attachment E of the SOP, Civil Disturbance Unit (CDU) Use of Force, parts D. 6, a. & b.
states that: "On-scene commanders shall direct CDU use of force options", and
"Individual officials may independently direct CDU use of force options when their squad
is detached from the rest of their unit and when the isolated squad's safety or that of
other persons is jeopardized."
105
CAPD_000001038
Part C of Attachment E, CDU Use of Force Options, details the types of force available
to members operating in a CDU environment. Under this section, the SOP states, "the
following definitions outline the use of force options that may be used by on-scene
commanders and officials (i.e., "official-directed use of force") in accordance with this
SOP."
1. Constructive Force
2. Physical Force
3. Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) Force
4. Mechanical Force
Mechanical force is broken into two levels:
(1) Level I: The use of tools or weapons, to include the riot baton, ASP, and riot
shield.
(2) Level II: The use of less-lethal projectiles (e.g., sting ball munitions, extended
impact weapons).
5. Chemical Force
6. Deadly Force
Part E of Attachment E, Civil Disturbance Use of Force Protocols, provides guidance on

members' actions during, "Non-Peaceful Civil Disobedience." Part A states, "During
non-peaceful civil disobedience members may: (1) to the extent reasonably possible,
disperse, control or arrest only persons who have engaged in unlawful conduct. (3) Use
force consistent with this SOP."
Part F of attachment E, Use of Force Framework during First Amendment Assemblies

and Mass Demonstrations, details the criteria needed to employ the available force
options during these CDU events.
During these chronicled incidents, members of DSO and ERT were sent to support
CDU platoons with dispersing large violent crowds and smaller groups of rioters that
were destroying property and assaulting officers. Commander Glover issued several
force authorizations during the course of this investigation. That being said, these
directives authorized CDU platoons officials to act as on-scene officials, and direct the
use of CDU force if they were faced with violent actions or had to immediately protect
property and disperse disorderly crowds.
The reported OC deployments chronicled in this investigation met the criteria outlined in
these directives and were reasonable and within policy. The deployment of Level I
Mechanical Force chronicled in this investigation was reasonable and within policy. The
employment of Level II Mechanical Force chronicled in this investigation was
reasonable and within policy. The employment of Chemical Force chronicled in this
investigation was reasonable and within policy.
With regard to the entire operational period, the other traditional force responses such
as cooperative controls, contact controls, and non-OC compliance techniques would not
106
CAPD_000001039
have been appropriate or feasible for the mass demonstrations that turned into a riot.
Therefore, it has been determined that the utilization of the OC spray, CS gas, Level I
Mechanical Force, Physical Force, Chemical Force, and the deployment of munitions
from a 40mm EIW (Level II Mechanical Force), as well as hand-thrown munitions, were
in compliance with both departmental policy and training.
During the investigative review process for this incident three distinct tactical issues
were identified. First, enhanced identification and unit markings are needed on our
officer's helmets. Over 800 MPD officers responded to the U.S. Capitol with most CDU
platoons intermingling. CDU Lieutenants and other leaders were unable to identify their
respective members because from the back all MPD CDU units are identical. The
current practice for enhanced identification is to have our members badge number on
the front of their helmet. This current practice prevents CDU leaders from being able to
identify their officers from behind the CDU line.
Second, over 50 officers were injured during this incident. Injuries ranged from
scratches to broken bones. During the summer of 2020, assaults on law enforcement
officers during these types of demonstrations has increased. In riotous situations, it is
often difficult for members to obtain basic medical treatment, and the establishment of a
medical station is challenging . It is recommended that each CDU platoon be issued a
medic bag . This would allow the immediate treatment of injuries sustained by officers
during these incidents.
Third, it is recommended that all CDU platoons be issued 40mm EIW and munitions.
During this incident, MPD element leaders were dependent upon DSO to deploy
munitions. This dependency caused unnecessary delays in utilizing these force
multipliers to combat the riotous crowds.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
In order to asses this issue of force and determine whether or not the events comport
with applicable rules and regulations, several issues must be addressed and analyzed.
Moreover, this type of analysis allows for a review of policies and procedures with the
application of "hindsight vision," which lends itself as a teaching tool and helps
precluded unsafe or improper practices from occurring in the future.
In reviewing and considering this matter, it is helpful to note the Supreme Court's
decision in Graham v. Conner, 490 U.S. 386 (1989) as it relates to the reasonableness
of force used by police. The Court indicated that:
"The reasonableness of a particular use of force must be judged from the

perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene, rather than with the 20/20 vision
of hindsight. .. The calculus of reasonableness must embody allowance for the
fact that the police officers are often forced to make split-second judgments in
107
CAPD_000001040
circumstances that are tense, uncertain and rapidly evolving-about the amount of
force that is necessary in a particular situation."
In reference to the force used by the members involved in this incident, the following
question must be considered:
At the time of the use of force, did the members utilize force options for the purpose of
protecting themselves and in accordance with the Department's applicable directives?
Based on the physical and testimonial evidence obtained during this investigation, the
following facts have been established:
• In response to the actions of the insurrectionists, MPD members had to utilize

force. When MPD arrived to assist, the USCP was outnumbered and the crowd
had become violent. MPD struggled to regain control of the crowd, and the use of
force was immediately necessary.
• MPD members were violently assaulted by members of the crowd, who utilized
readily available objects as weapons against them. Members of the crowd
dismantled nearby bike racks and scaffolding, striking the officers with the metal
parts and throwing them into the police line. A large number of officers were
assaulted with the flagpoles carried by many rioters in the crowd. Further,
members of the crowd brought and used weapons against the officers, such as
bear spray or stun guns.
• Commander Glover authorized the use of Level I and Level 11 Mechanical Force
which included hand thrown munitions, as well as the deployment of munitions
from the 40mm EIW, physical force , and OC force.
• Eventually, as the outnumbered officers struggled to maintain control of the police

line, the deployment of CS Gas was authorized and executed.
• Weather conditions rendered OC Spray and chemical munitions ineffective, and in

fact caused injury and damage to the officers when deployed. Many officers, in
close quarters combat with the rioters, had to resort to any available force option,
including kicks, strikes, ASP baton strikes, and ECO deployments.
Upon reviewing the facts of this incident, the investigating agents have concluded that
each member's use of force on January 6, 2021, in the performance of CDU activities,
was objectively reasonable, and well within the guidelines of the Metropolitan Police
Department and comport with the MPD's Use of Force Framework.
