Steven Sund
Steven A. Sund (born 6 April 1972) is a retired American law enforcement official, author and public speaker. Sund was a member of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department for 25 years, where he was commander of the force's Special Operations Division. He joined the U.S. Capitol Police in 2017, becoming its chief in 2019. He led the force during the January 6 Capitol attack, after which he faced widespread criticism for the perceived security failures of that day. A December 2024 interim report by the Subcommittee on Oversight of the 118th Congress concluded that Sund had “unfairly shouldered the bulk of the blame” and highlighted systemic failures across federal agencies. Following his resignation, Sund became an advocate for law enforcement reform and national security preparedness. He authored the book Courage Under Fire: Under Siege and Outnumbered 58 to 1 on January 6, which became an Amazon bestseller and provided his perspective on the events of that day. Educatio ...

Sund, Norway
Sund is a former municipality in the old Hordaland county in Norway. The municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 2020 when it joined Øygarden Municipality in Vestland county. It was located in the traditional district of Midhordland. The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Skogsvåg. Other larger villages in Sund included Klokkarvik, Tælavåg, Kausland, and Hammarsland. Sund covered the southern third of the island of Store Sotra, west of the city of Bergen. It also included many smaller, surrounding islands. Sund was a predominantly rural municipality, with no major settlements, the largest being Hammarsland with approximately 900 inhabitants (in 2013). Due to the proximity to the city of Bergen, a large proportion of the population commuted to the city to work. Prior to its dissolution in 2020, the municipality is the 381st largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway. Sund is the 149th most populous municipality in ...

Sunds
Sunds is a town, with a population of 4,302 (1. January 2025), in the municipality of Herning, Central Denmark Region in Denmark. It is located 13 km northwest of Ikast, 39 km southwest of Viborg, 44 km south of Skive and 8 km north of Herning. Etymology The oldest known source for the name Sunds is from 1325, where the form ''Sunzsæ'' appears. Later evidence includes forms such as ''Swndz'' (1495), ''Gammel Sunds'' (1547) and ''Sunds'' (1688). The name is composed of the noun ''sund'', probably in the original meaning of the word ''svømning'', which means 'swimming', and the Old Danish noun ''sǣ'', which is a side form of ''sø'', meaning 'lake'. The name thus means 'swimming lake'. History Even at the census of 1901, Sunds had only 65 inhabitants spread over 13 properties. When the railroad between Herning and Viborg opened in 1906, Sunds got a station, and this set in motion urban development. By 1925, Sunds had 308 inhabitants. The population continued to rise through ...

Sound (geography)
In geography, a sound is a smaller body of water usually connected to a sea or an ocean. A ''sound'' may be an inlet that is deeper than a bight and wider than a fjord; or a narrow sea channel or an ocean channel between two land masses, such as a strait; or also a lagoon between a barrier island and the mainland. Overview A sound is often formed by the seas flooding a river valley. This produces a long inlet where the sloping valley hillsides descend to sea-level and continue beneath the water to form a sloping sea floor. These sounds are more appropriately called rias. The Marlborough Sounds in New Zealand are good examples of this type of formation. Sometimes a sound is produced by a glacier carving out a valley on a coast then receding, or the sea invading a glacier valley. The glacier produces a sound that often has steep, near vertical sides that extend deep underwater. The sea floor is often flat and deeper at the landward end than the seaward end, due to g ...
