He could but there's a couple caveats.

First, he has to specify offenses. If he just says anyone charged with "violence" or "unlawful entry" that leaves it open to possibly having other charges levied.

Second, if I'm remembering right, he can only pardon people for federal crimes. Capitol police are federal, but I'm not sure what agency would actually be charging them.
