Pittman has endured criticism from the union representing rank-and-file Capital Police officers, who feel she was one of the leaders responsible for intelligence failures that led to a riot and security breakdown that day.
US Capitol Police Labor Committee Chairman Gus Papthanasiou told CNN via text on Wednesday that it is “absolutely shameful that she remains in her position, not even a slap on the wrist.”
“She was one of the top leaders of the USCP, responsible for the largest breach in American history,” Papthanaciou said.
He pointed to a Senate report and inspector general reports originating from January 6 that he “talked about Pittman’s incompetence.”
In a statement, US Capitol Police said Pittman had led through “multiple reviews” as acting chief and directed reform “to turn the USCP into an intelligence-based protective agency.” The department said it has improved the way intelligence is disseminated, both internally and externally, from January 6.
The department also said it “takes intelligence from every federal agency. At no point before January 6 did it receive actionable intelligence about a large-scale attack.”
CNN has reached out to Pittman for comment.
