S.Res. 574 is a Senate resolution marking the fifth anniversary of the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol and honoring the Capitol Police, Metropolitan Police, and Capitol staff who responded that day. The resolution expresses gratitude to law enforcement officers who defended the building during nearly five hours of violence, noting that more than 100 officers were injured and five officers later died from injuries sustained during the attack. It also recognizes the essential work of Capitol custodial, janitorial, maintenance, and food services staff who helped restore the building and allowed Congress to continue certifying the 2020 election results. The resolution includes a criticism of the House Speaker for failing to install a commemorative plaque—required by a 2022 law—honoring these officers and workers. This is a non-binding resolution expressing the Senate's appreciation for these essential personnel and reaffirming its commitment to protecting democracy.
