A former Maryland police chief will take the helm of the U.S Capitol Police (USCP), which has been without a permanent leader since shortly after the Jan. 6 riot, two sources confirmed to The Hill on Monday.
Thomas Manger retired from the Montgomery County, Md., police department after 15 years as chief and spent six years serving as chief of the Fairfax, Va., police department.

Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund resigned just days after the pro-Trump mob stormed its way into the Capitol, leaving the 2,300-officer force led by acting Chief Yogananda Pittman.
Pittman, who ran USCP’s intelligence services leading up to the attack, earlier this year received a vote of no confidence from the officers union.
