USCP inspector general report: Most recommendations post-January 6 not implemented

The U.S. Capitol Police's Office of Inspector General (IG) has finalized the last in a series of reports analyzing the department's failures surrounding the January 6 attack on the Capitol, and found that just under a third of their recommendations to improve future safety and security have been fully adopted, according to the report obtained by CBS News.

The "flash reports" authored by the IG's office over the past year detail suggestions for security enhancements from their review into the failures that led to a crowd of pro-Trump protestors overruning police and storming Capitol grounds. In the eighth and final report, the office revealed that out of the 104 recommendations only 30 have been fully implemented by the Capitol Police department.

Moreover, the report includes a list created by the department of approximately 200 "Post-January 6 Improvements" made by the Department and shared with the IG's office. However, the IG only found that 61 of those enhancements were "substantiated with supporting documentation."

Many of the IG's recommendations that were not fully implemented remain open, suggesting the Capitol Police has taken initial steps to address them. For example, the IG previously cited the department's failure to disseminate an intelligence assessment ahead of January 6 to rank-and-file officers suggesting protesters may "become violent" and that "Congress itself is the target on the 6th."
