Jan. 6 plaque honoring police officers unveiled at the Capitol

A plaque honoring the officers who defended the U.S. Capitol during the January 6, 2021, siege has been installed near the Senate side of the building, three years after it was mandated by law. The plaque recognizes the heroism of the officers, over 150 of whom were injured that day, and memorializes the five officers who died in the aftermath. The installation follows a prolonged effort led by Sen. Thom Tillis and comes amid ongoing debates about the events of January 6 and the political ramifications surrounding them.
