We are here today because one year ago, the men and women of our Capitol Police stood on the front lines of the unthinkable in America.

It was so important to me that we had a new Police Chief who was competent, experienced, and dedicated.

Yet their bravery, their quick thinking, saved many lives and prevented a violent riot from becoming something even worse.
