The Philadelphia Police Department has opened an Internal Affairs investigation into a detective named Jennifer after social media posts alleged she attended the events in Washington, D.C. on January 6th, when a riot broke out at the U.S. Capitol.
Sources close to the department told local outlets that Jennifer was removed from her post in the Recruit Background Investigations Unit on Saturday and placed on restricted duty while the review continues. Police spokesperson Sgt. Eric Gripp confirmed her reassignment.
In a statement, the department said it is aware of social media posts that allege a detective may have been in attendance, and that the investigation will determine whether any department policies were violated or whether she took part in any illegal activity. Her assignment has been changed pending the outcome. A response from Jennifer was not available at the time of this report.
The riot left five people dead, including a Capitol police officer. City Councilmember Katherine Gilmore Richardson said on Twitter that the city needs to know whether any sworn law enforcement official or city employee attended, and that she will be following up.
