Two top Capitol Police officials, Jason Bell and Sean Gallagher, have shed their acting titles and are now assistant chiefs of police.
Gallagher is the assistant chief for uniformed operations, a role that oversees all the officers posted at security checkpoints, the command center at headquarters and specialized teams, including the SWAT and canine teams. He had been in that job in an acting capacity since June 2021.
Bell is the assistant chief for protective and intelligence operations, a position that supervises department areas such as leadership security details, investigations and threat assessments. He had been in that job in an acting capacity since October 2022.
