Commending the officers of the United States Capitol Police Department, the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, DC, and other law enforcement personnel for their selfless and heroic service in defense of American democracy in responding to the assault on the United States Capitol by domestic terrorists on January 6, 2021.

House Resolution 169 is a formal expression of gratitude from the House of Representatives toward the law enforcement officers who responded to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. The resolution officially commends the bravery of the U.S. Capitol Police, the D.C. Metropolitan Police, and other supporting agencies for their role in protecting the building and the democratic process.

If passed, the resolution would encourage American schools and media outlets to highlight the actions of these officers as examples of heroism. Additionally, it calls on all citizens to engage with and honor the principles of the U.S. Constitution. As a "simple resolution," this measure serves as a statement of the House's position and does not create new laws or allocate federal funding.
