3:09Now PlayingD.C. is ramping up security efforts ahead of the upcoming election season, with local and federal law enforcement agencies working to ensure safety.
Assistant City Manager Chris Rodriguez confirmed that the nation’s capital is prepared for potential challenges, whether it be large crowds or possible unrest, in an effort to avoid a repeat of the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.
"Certainly that was a terrible day for our country, for our city," Rodriguez said.
At the request of D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, Rodriguez said the Department of Homeland Security has, for the first time, designated the certification of electoral college votes on January 6, 2025, as a "National Special Security Event." This status will bring enhanced security measures, similar to those used for the State of the Union address.
"Residents, particularly in the Capitol Hill area, should expect fencing, road closures, and restrictions around the Capitol complex in particular," Rodriguez added.
