I found this article about him seeking protection and it says nothing about it being turned down.

https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/betrayed-former-dc-officer-seeks-protection-after-jan-6-attackers-pardoned/3821489/

As a D.C. police officer, Mike Fanone devoted more than 20 years to protecting his neighbors. Now, he's trying to protect himself and his family.

Fanone went to the Prince William County Courthouse on Tuesday to seek protective orders against the five men who pleaded guilty to violently assaulting him during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

"The fact that I have to do this, to try to afford my family some degree of protection, is outrageous," Fanone said. "But we are in an age of government lawlessness."

Among those pardoned were the five men who pleaded guilty to dragging Fanone into the crowd of rioters, beating him and shocking him with a stun-gun device.
