FBI still seeking tips in wake of Capitol violence

FBI Denver has maintained a heightened posture over the last week while monitoring for emerging threats in this region in the lead-up to the presidential inauguration. Public assistance is sought in the form of reports of any suspicious or violent behavior.

According to Courtney Bernal, Acting Public Affairs Specialist, “We are using all our investigative resources, to include human source information, as well as advanced technical and scientific tools, to identify the perpetrators of the violence at the U.S. Capitol…Our agents and analysts have been gathering evidence, sharing intelligence, and working with federal prosecutors toward bringing appropriate charges.”

FBI Denver stood a command post to gather intelligence and coordinate with local and state partners on potential threats, as was done during the presidential election.

“We are focused on identifying, investigating and disrupting individuals that were involved in the siege of the Capitol and/or continue to incite violence and engage in criminal activity here locally,” says Bernal. 

“We are working together with our law enforcement partners to continuously share information based on tips submitted by the public. The FBI continues to remain steadfast in our mission to dually and simultaneously protect the American people and uphold the U.S. Constitution.”

Members of the public are asked to report any suspicious activity or acts of violence witnessed by providing tips, information and videos of illegal activity to 303-629-7171 or https://www.fbi.gov/tips.
