Several dozen demonstrators gathered peacefully at the State Capitol Wednesday, Jan. 6 to object to President-Elect Biden’s win over President Trump, at the same time that a violent demonstration broke out on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.

Beyond partnerships with federal and local law enforcement agencies, LSP was unable to comment on additional security measures being put in place.
