A review of Capitol security after the Jan. 6 riots is going to recommend adding more fencing around the building, as well as more than 1,000 Capitol Police officers, two sources with direct knowledge of the findings told CNN.
The draft proposal of recommendations comes just over a month after Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tapped retired Lt. General Russel Honoré to review security around the Capitol in the wake of a mob of former President Trump’s supporters laying siege to the building in an attempt to prevent the certification of President Biden’s Electoral College victory.
At the time, Pelosi said Honoré’s review was to focus on “security infrastructure, interagency processes and procedures, and command and control.”
The additional 1,000 personnel, which could cost nearly $100 million, would include roughly 350 officers and expanded staffing in regional offices for when lawmakers are at home, one of the sources told CNN.
The network reported that the recommendations also include establishing a quick reaction force composed of a National Guard military police battalion that’s on standby in Washington full-time.
And the report advises long-term security changes to perimeter security, including building an integrated system of walls and fences around the complex.

MAGA crowd on Jan. 6th went home. Back to their jobs. Making a living. So what’s up with turning the Capitol into Baghdad?
They’re worried about the reaction to Kommie-la taking over power this summer.
The party that doesn’t want a fence and borders and armed guards at borders, wants their office building fenced in with armed guards
“A government that fears it’s own people is a government that works for it’s people”
The Democrats only fear not getting a paycheck and not getting money from their lobbyists. They couldn’t care less about the people
I thought Rats said fences and walls don’t work.
Democrats buildijg walls.. wow.
Madam Speaker, tear down this wall.
DC is looking more like Tiananmen Square by the day.
The RATS are getting more paranoid by the day. It’s like they realize that we know that they stole the election.
But I thought Biden was the most popular president of all time?!?!?!
The head of the Capitol Police wants it.....name is Yogananda Pittman.
They are holding the government hostage behind concertina wire.
Wow....0bowmoa’s Dream Army.
How about NO.
How about....we didn’t need this kind of security, for the elites, when Pres Trump was in DC.
Wait....I’m sure M!tch and his side kick McCarthy have called out the absurdity of this ‘recommendation’
Freaking Uniparty.
Wake up, folks.
Paranoid? Or, brazen?
A couple of guard towers would complete the prison motif
Wait a minute, I thought we were supposed to be defunding the police??
FTA....
.....Pittman told lawmakers on Thursday that the security measures were “not popular,” but said that they will have to remain while Congress faces security threats....
What threats, w!tch?
Show us the freaking receipts for the ACTUAL, real (not imagined, in Joe’s and Nanzi’s head) threats.
He/she/it probably reports directly to Nancy.
Well there’s one place that’s sure immune from defund the police.
