Capitol Police names new acting chief

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Capitol Hill Police Board designated a new acting chief of police for the agency after the resignation of its previous chief following the violent riot that overtook the U.S. Capitol.

A statement on the agency's website indicated that Yogananda Pittman had been named acting police chief.

Her appointment follows the resignation of U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, whose response to the violence Wednesday was sharply criticized by lawmakers in the hours after it occurred.

Sund had said Thursday that he would resign effective Jan. 16, after which he would move to sick leave status and exhaust a saved-up allowance of sick leave before leaving the force. But the U.S. Capitol Police website indicates Pittman had been designated as acting chief on Friday.

1. 'But Assistant Chief Yogananda D. Pittman took control of the agency on Friday,

according to the agency’s website. A Capitol Police officer since 2001, she was one of the first Black female supervisors to become a captain. She led her unit in providing security for the 2013 presidential inauguration, the website says, and in 2018 was promoted to deputy chief.'

2. Sick leave not meant as vacation pay or gold watch. What a grifter. Maybe thinks his pension at risk
