    Government of the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department Testimony of Robert J. Contee, III Acting Chief of Police Capitol Complex Security Failures on January 6, 2021 United States House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations Honorable Rosa L. DeLauro, Chairwoman Honorable Kay Granger, Ranking Member January 26, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Virtual Briefing Washington, D.C. Good morning, Chairwoman DeLauro, Ranking Member Granger, and members of the Committee. I am Robert J. Contee, III, 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 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 capital 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.
