US Capitol Police chief retiring in May
U.S. Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger is retiring in early May after serving more than four decades in law enforcement.
Manger, who was hired after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, will retire May 2, a Capitol Police spokesperson told The Hill.
“I am honored to have served with a team that is dedicated to this critical mission. It is time for a new leader to continue the success that we started together,” Manger said in a statement.
Before serving as the Capitol Police chief, Manger worked as the head of the Montgomery County Police in Maryland.
Manger officially became the Capitol Police head in July 2021. More than 100 police officers were injured during the riot. Four died by suicide days and months after the attack. One Capitol Police officer died from a stroke a day after getting injured during the breach.
During his tenure, the Capitol Police experienced a budget increase, resolved all of the 103 recommendations made by the office of inspector general after the Jan. 6 attack and increased hiring.
In early January 2025, Manger questioned the message Jan. 6 rioters' pardons would send.
“What message does that send to police officers across this nation, if someone doesn’t think that a conviction for an assault or worse against a police officer is something that should be upheld, given what we ask police officers to do every day,” Manger said at the time.
Manger did not directly discuss President Trump’s promise to issue a pardon to a large number of Jan. 6 defendants once sworn in as commander in chief. Shortly after assuming office, Trump issued around 1,500 “full, complete and unconditional pardons” to Jan. 6 defendants.
Manger served as a police officer for more than 46 years, and he worked for more than 24 years as a chief of police at Montgomery County Police, Fairfax County Police in Virginia and the U.S. Capitol Police.
“When I took the oath of office in the summer of 2021 — I could not have imagined the progress a police department of our size could make in just a few years,” Manger said. “We made these changes to this Department because of the work ethic and dedication of our entire workforce, as well as the support of our Congressional stakeholders.”
