Acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman said on Feb. 13 that she’s committed to making progress in protecting officers’ well-being after U.S. Capitol Police officers issued a vote of no confidence in the force’s top leaders over the Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol.

“It’s been just over one month since one of our nation’s darkest days, and the trauma is still incredibly raw and difficult for the many officers who fought heroically on the 6th. Since being sworn in on January 8th, my executive team and I have made the well-being of our officers our top priority," Pittman said in a statement.
