The Inspector General (IG) has released a report detailing the Secret Service’s response to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. The IG’s inquiry aimed to evaluate whether the Secret Service followed adequate protocols and if they efficiently cooperated with other law enforcement agencies.
The report suggests that the Secret Service was well-prepared and acted appropriately during the attack. The agents and officers maintained their protective duties throughout the event. They adequately protected the Vice President, the Vice President-Elect, and other individuals under their charge.
However, the report also highlighted areas for improvement. This included enhancing communication with other law enforcement agencies and further consolidation of operational plans. Recommendations were also made regarding necessary technology upgrades to increase the agency’s command and control capacities.
The IG expressed satisfaction with the Secret Service’s general response but emphasized that the recommendations, if adopted, would ensure a more robust response in potential future instances.
