United States Capitol Police Chief Steven A. Sund

Steven A. Sund was sworn in as the 10th Capitol Police Chief in June 2019. He joined the USCP in 2017 after he was recruited to become the Assistant Chief of Police/Chief of Operations.

Prior to his coming to the USCP, Sund served with the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, DC, for more than 25 years.

In this assignment, then-Commander Sund oversaw a number of specialized units to include the Emergency Response Team; Aviation and Harbor Units; Horse Mounted and Canine Units; Special Events/Dignitary Protection Branch; Major Crash and Commercial Motor Carrier Enforcement; Automated Traffic Enforcement, and the Domestic Security Operations Unit.

During his career, Sund also served as a lead planner for the 2009 and 2013 Presidential Inaugurations, and had a significant planning role in the major events designated as NSSEs by the Department of Homeland Security. Chief Sund is a recognized expert in critical incident management and active shooter preparedness and response. His experience involves being the on-scene incident commander on the 2009 shooting at the National Holocaust Museum, the 2012 shooting at the Family Research Council, and the 2013 active shooter incident at the Washington Navy Yard.

Hi Mmmerlot! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Timeline of the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.
