SPD announced on Jan. 8 that two officers had been placed on leave. Through a public records request, DivestSPD acquired the daily rosters for January, and found 3 officers had been placed on leave in the period immediately following the Capitol riots.
Previous reporting had identified the SPD officers as a married couple. A search of KC marriage records shows that Everett and Rochelle were married in 2020.
