WASHINGTON – More than 70 Capitol Police officers have left the force since the Jan. 6 riot, a union leader said Friday.
Gus Papathanasiou, chairman of the Capitol Police Labor Committee, said the resignations and retirements reflect low morale on the force after the deadly attack that injured 140 officers. Overall, the department is operating with 233 vacancies below its 2,070 authorized full-time positions, he said. What keeps me up at night is not the challenge of hiring and training more officers, but keeping the officers we have right now, Papathanasiou said.
Officer Brian Sicknick, who was sprayed with a chemical spray during the attack, died the next day from strokes, according the D.C. medical examiner. Capitol Police Officer Howie Liebengood and D.C. Officer Jeffrey Smith died by suicide in the days after the attack.

When searching for a new place to live one thing to consider is the familiarity with which your real estate professional has with the area. That gives long-time Realtors who are natives and long-time residents the edge, particularly for clients who are relocating from outside the area and may be total strangers to these magical Golden Isles. These are the professionals who can give you counsel on most anything from the restaurants to recreation. We recently visited with a few local Realtors, who also happen to be natives of the Golden Isles, just to learn a little more about them and the local real estate market.

Methuen resident and interim Police Lt. Eric Ferreira has been promoted to Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Reserve, the highest rank which an enlisted member of the military may earn.
