Six Capitol police officers have been suspended with pay and another 29 are under investigation following last month’s deadly riot, the department said.
Capitol police spokesman John Stolnis told NBC News that the agency’s Office of Professional Responsibility is looking into the actions of the 35 officers during the Jan. 6 attack.
The riot left five people dead, including Capitol police Officer Brian Sicknick.
“Acting Chief Yogananda Pittman has directed that any member of her department whose behavior is not in keeping with the Department’s Rules of Conduct will face appropriate discipline,” Stolnis said.
