conte iii the acting chief of police of the metropolitan police department. 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. i would like to begin by highlighting a few key facts to ensure the committee and the audience understand the very different roles of mayor muriel bowser and the district of columbia, including mpd and those of congressional and federal authorities. first, mpd is prohibited by federal law from entering the capitol or its grounds to patrol, make arrests or serve warrants without the consent or request of the capitol police board. second, the president of the united states not the mayor of the district of columbia controls the d.c. national guard. the scope of the request by the mayor must be limited to supporting the district's local jurisdiction and authority which excludes entities -- which excludes federal entities and property. third, since mayor bowser declared a public health emergency last march, the district has not issued

metropolitan police department for their value and efforts. d.c. police provide support to secure the capital but the officers under your command did not hesitate to come to her aid. we are thankful for the heroic actions of so many who insured this direct attack on our democracy failed. but there is no question that there were colossal breakdowns in the intelligence gathering and security preparation leading up to the event of january 6 as well as a ordination and response efforts once the attack got underway. our goal today is to begin to understand where the breakdowns and failures occurred and to determine if the policy and structural changes congress must make to prevent a future attack of this nature. in my role on the homeland security committee, i worked to draw attention to the rising threat of domestic terrorism. including the rise of insidious ideology of white supremacy and antigovernment militias and now he would nonsense. sees, these ideologies are intertwined in numerous ways and on january 6 we saw how quickly they can shift from onl

metropolitan police were the usually professionally detached selves standing on curbs or street crossing and exchanging occasional greetings from marchers. where the capitol police have jurisdiction, i noticed to police at all. they opened the scene like a courtesy gesture from congress that controls security. that made no sense. yet no capitol police awe're peered anywhere from what we could see. i'm taking these excerpts in order. but there is a lot more to this piece. what looked like tens or even hundreds of thousands people surged down the avenues as far as one could see. but almost everyone seemed talkative and happy. no police could be seen on the platform people kept surging in from constitution avenue and the plaza quickly flowed onto the lawn. everyone squeezed closely together, with most in high spirits. some trouble began up in the front near the base of the inaugural platform itself, but we could not see what was happening. then something happened at the front of the crowd. it seemed like a scuffle, but from 40 feet back, i couldn't see. people started chanting, usa, usa and

yeah. >> it appeared to the metropolitan police department, i'm told, that the capitol police officeres did not have the training in civil disturbance tactics that they had. that's what i was told by some of the interviews we've had. chief contee, is that correct? >> yes, i've heard the same thing with respect to the training of the u.s. capitol police officers. >> are all of your metropolitan police officers trained in civil disturbance tactics? >> we have platoons that are trained for every threat, for every patrol district and special operations division. some officers do not have the civil disturbance training. those officers generally work traffic duties or they work assignments back in control. >> chief sund -- >> if i could add too, one other thing, all of our officers believe the training academy, they get the basic civil disturbance training. all of our officers get the basic training, but we might have some members, for example, who have been on for 30 years and they haven't been cdu trained and they work back at a patrol district. all of our members coming out of the academy

chief, we are also indebted to the dc metropolitan police department for their valiant efforts to thwart the attack. dc police often provide support to help secure the capital but the officers under your command did not hesitate to come to our aid. we are thankful for the heroic actions have so many who ensured this direct attack on our democracy failed. but there is no question that there were colossal breakdowns in the intelligence gathering and security preparations leading up to the events of generous, as well as during the coordination and response efforts once the attack got underway. our goal today is to begin to understand where those breakdowns and failures occurred and to determine if there are policy and structural changes congress must make to prevent a future attack of this nature. in my role on the homeland security committee, i have work to draw attention to the rising threat of domestic terrorism, including the rise of insidious ideologies of whites of privacy and antigovernment militias and now qanon conspiracies. this ideologies are intertwined in numerous ways and on j

national guard specifically for the reasons that we outlined to them, which would allow the metropolitan police department to be a lot nimble in our response. that -- and in essence, that enabled us to be able to respond quickly to assist the capitol police officers. so those responses were different. we were disrupting individuals or intercepting individuals who were armed, with firearms in our city, in violation of the mayor's order, many of whom that brought on federal grounds. so the metropolitan police department's posture certainly was escalated beyond what we did the prior two marches. >> thank you. mr. chairman, i appreciate your intelligence. i see i've gone over my time. i have a few extra questions i'll submit. thank you. >> very good, thank you senator synema and thank you for your emphasis on the fbi report and the issues that everyone here seems to acknowledge with getting that -- that didn't go at the right place and just putting send isn't enough for a report like that. okay, next we have senator cruz. after that will be senator ossoff. if there's any other senators who wish to

senator schumer: fellow congressional leaders, mayor bowser, officers of the metropolitan police department, the united states capitol police, officer brian sicknick's commanders, the book of matthew reminds us. blessed are the peacekeepers for they shall be called the children of god. today, we gather to honor officer brian sicknick, a new jersey native, a national air guard veteran, and a 12-year member of the capitol police force. a peacekeeper, not only in duty, but in spirit. talk to his colleagues and they will tell you that brian was a kind and humble man with profound inner strength. the quiet rock of his unit. they will tell you that brian was dependable, never missed a radio call. they will tell you that he took great pride in his job, never more so than when he became a mountain bike officer on the first responders unit. and they will tell you that brian wouldn't have liked this attention, and that if he were here, he'd the first to puncture the somber moment with his sharp sense of humor. brian was a peacekeeper who loved his dogs and his girlfriend, sandra, and his family, and

as i said before, not capitol police, not metropolitan police had any indication we would be facing an insurrection of thousands of people. >> if we take our experience with terrorism globally and look at case studies both that were implemented and executed across the united states, is it plausible -- and i know hindsight is 20/20 -- is it plausible that the november 14th and december 12th incidents may well have been trial runs, that the very extremist organizations you've referenced involved with the organizing and participation of november 14th, december 12th to gain counterintelligence on how you and your partner agencies would be planning and preparing for such incidents? >> as you rightly point out, when you look at some of the terrorist attacks that occurred, there has been pre-planning, pre-surveillance, pre-collection on the security features. i don't know if november and december were two incidents of that, but i would suspect with the fact we're finding this is a coordinated attack, i wouldn't doubt there was pre-surveillance. >> we don't know there were, we don't know there

so there's coordination that has to happen there between the metropolitan police department, u.s. park police, capitol police, u.s. secret service, with respect to the intelligence of the fib, they or often a part of those discussions. i think that the thing ebb going forward that certainly needs to be looked at with respect to specific intelligence has been outlined throughout needs to be different, the jttf distribution risks that we have is not something that is a monitored list, a 24 hours a day, seven days a week that would generate an immediate response to that. when those communications are sent out they are staff members who at some point will get to that information but i think that, again, that has been laid out, you know, we're talking about something of this magnitude that could potentially happen and ultimately did happen in our city, it should posture us to move differently, perhaps with phone calls immediately and not counting on an email or something, making it through the chain, to the levels that need to make -- decisions to be made. >> thank you for that answer,

there are several law enforcement calls that take place between metropolitan police department and other federal partners, but, again, the capitol police and that structure is something they're not beholden to the district of columbia mayor or anything like that. but i've not seen anything specifically from them about the fence being the way it is now. i should add also, sir, obviously i think there needs to be a reimagining of the security posture. something certainly should be there, but i'm not exactly sure the answer to that is razor wire and the deployment that we currently see. >> and former sergeant in arms, no one has given you -- you've not seen any information that would suggest we have an imminent threat that we need the national guard here? >> i have not. >> and i have not, either. i resigned on the 7th and have been gone since, so i have no information. >> okay. so who would be making the decision that the national guard needs to be here, then, and where would the threat assessment come from? does anybody know? >> i would maybe look at the current leadership over at maybe th

shortly after two p:m., the capital police and the metropolitan police were overwhelmed by president about what that day was like for those brave officers. but first, let's go back to what was happening where manager plaskett left off in the house chamber. rioters who entered the building to the senate quickly spread out through the capital. many headed towards the house and senate chambers. after speaker pelosi was ushered out, chairman mcgovern was presiding in the house. attempting to keep the counting process going. on our phones, members were receiving security updates. and watching social media to see the horror that was going on outside. we never thought it would make its way in. by 2:25 p:m., rioters who are already in the building opened the east side doors of the capitol rotunda to let more the mob in. they quickly flitted through the doors overwhelming the officers. this is new security footage of those doors and asked before, the mob is identified with the red dot on the model of the capital. if you model of the capital. if identified with the red dot on the model of the
