Capitol police "struggling" after second attack, union chief says

Driving the news: Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré, appointed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to review Capitol security measures, told ABC's "This Week" that Capitol Police "are going to have to recruit hard" in order to fulfill the security measures his task force proposed last month.

• The plan calls for expanding the force by 1,100 officers and filling approximately 300 current vacancies.
• Papathanasiou called on Congress to implement the proposal, which also calls for more mobile or retractable fencing.

What he's saying: "We are struggling to meet existing mission requirements even with the officers working massive amounts of forced overtime," Papathanasiou said, adding that the agency is down 233 officers below its normally 2,000-member force.

• "In the next 3-5 years we have another 500 officers who will be eligible to retire. Many of these officers could put in their retirement papers tomorrow. I’ve had many younger officers confide in me that they’re actively looking at other agencies and departments right now."

• "We have now lost two officers in the line of duty this year," he said. "Another officer has taken his own life and we have 80 officers who were seriously injured in the insurrection. Some of those injured officers may never return to duty."
