U.S. Secret Service

The United States Secret Service is a vital federal law enforcement agency headquartered in Washington, D.C., with a network of over 150 offices across the United States and internationally. Established in 1865, the agency originally focused on combating counterfeiting, but today its dual mission encompasses both protective and investigative roles. The Secret Service is responsible for safeguarding high-profile officials, including the President, as well as securing significant events and locations critical to national security.

Additionally, the agency plays a crucial role in protecting the integrity of the U.S. financial system, investigating financial crimes, cyber threats, and counterfeiting activities. The Secret Service relies on a highly skilled workforce, including special agents and uniformed division officers, who work collaboratively with various law enforcement partners at local, state, and international levels.

Committed to excellence through talent, technology, and diversity, the Secret Service continuously evolves to meet emerging threats, ensuring the safety of the American public and the nation's financial infrastructure.
