Saturday marks the third anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
On the Montgomery County Police Department (MCPD) podcast, Voices of Service, two members of the MCPD talk about the department’s response to the storming of the Capitol. Sergeant Lawrence Haley and Officer Willie Taft both found themselves in the midst of an unforeseen riot as members of an elite group of County police officers known as the Special Events Response Team (SERT).
