Congress has missed the deadline it set for itself to install a plaque honoring police for their courage on Jan. 6, 2021, and lawmakers are staying silent on the cause of the delay.
The plaque, listing the names of all law enforcement officers who responded as a violent mob attacked the Capitol, was supposed to be finished and placed on the western side of the building by March 2023. Nearly one year later, the plaque has yet to be unveiled.
Michael Fanone, a former Metropolitan Police Department officer who was injured during the attack, said he is frustrated after repeatedly trying to find out why the project is overdue.
