US Secret Service

(US federal government law enforcement agency)

The Secret Service was established in Washington on June 5, 1865. Its role is to combat counterfeit currency. The then director, William P. Wood, was directly led by Treasury Secretary Hugh McCulloch.

In 1867, the Secret Service's function was added to "investigate fraud cases against the government." The Secret Service began investigating the K-party. Members of the Three Ks have illegally made alcohol, smuggled, robbed mail carts, carried out land fraud, and committed other various illegal acts.

The Secret Service headquarters was relocated to New York in 1870.

The Secret Service's main jurisdiction is to prevent and investigate counterfeiting of US dollars and bonds, as well as to protect the President, Vice President, President-elect and Vice-President-elect, former President and their spouse (except for remarriage of the spouse), 120 days before the general election Identified presidential and vice presidential candidates, children and grandchildren of the current and former presidents under 16 years of age, visiting foreign heads of state and heads of government and their spouses, individuals designated by presidential decree, and countries designated by the Department of Homeland Security Special security incident. At the same time, the department is also responsible for tracking and investigating the suspects involved in various financial fraud crimes and providing assistance in the investigation of some local crimes. The U.S. Secret Service uniform department is responsible for protecting embassies in the United States,

The Secret Service's attire is well-suited to their functions. Under normal circumstances, agents wear a very conservative suit, but the clothing can range from tuxedo to casual jeans. As shown, agents often wear sunglasses and communication headsets.

According to a report by the New York Post on June 18, 2012, the US Secret Service has released a 229-page internal investigation report. The report shows that since 2003, the lives of some Secret Service agents can be described as "absurd", from drunken duty, illegal tapping of telephones, embezzlement of public funds, recruitment of prostitutes, and even sexual assault. ^[1]

US Secret Service Recruitment Scandal

On the evening of April 13, 2012, US President Barack Obama arrived in Cartagena, Colombia, to attend the OAS Summit. However, just a few hours after his arrival, 12 US Secret Service agents responsible for his security work were dismissed and returned home immediately. Subsequently, the media broke out that the agents were fired because they were recruiting prostitutes in Cartagena while President Obama had not yet arrived. ^[1]

To quell the negative effect of the scandal of the prostitutes' scandal on the country's image, US Special Service Secretary Mark Sullivan came forward to apologize publicly, emphasizing that this was just a misconduct by individuals and was not a "systemic problem." However, as the Secret Service's new 229-page report was made public, the credibility of Sullivan's words was greatly diminished. ^[1]

This report lists a series of misconduct and misconduct by secret service agents since 2003. ^[1]

Report lists multiple misdeeds

During the Dominican President's visit to the United States in 2005, the Secret Service sent a team of elite men to perform security tasks, but who knew that the head of the security team was temporarily replaced because he was drunk on duty. ^[1]

In January 2011, an assistant staff member of the Secret Service was charged with sexual abuse and arrested by police in New York, but the report did not say what the court's final sentence was. ^[1]

In August 2011, a Secret Service agent was accused of forcibly pushing a female colleague to bed while attempting to commit sexual assault while on duty. Although the victim was crying out for help at the time, the perpetrator still wanted to "strike the king". . The report also mentioned that the misbehaving male agent was described by his boss as a "serious and trustworthy employee." In February of the following year, the case was concluded with the parties accepting "administrative punishment". ^[1]

In addition, the report also recorded an anonymous complaint in August 2003. A Secret Service agent was accused of being involved in a prostitution group, and then the agent retired early. The complaint was also ignored. ^[1]

Analysts said that although the Secret Service must rigorously review and screen the content of the report before the report was released, and the real names of the parties mentioned in the report were also hidden, the matter still corroded the media by bombing the Secret Service. The out-of-control management has provided powerful firearms and ammunition, and the Secret Service will only become increasingly sad in the future. ^[1]

US Secret Service Hotel Incident

On November 15, 2013, two US Secret Service agents, Chamora and Baracklau, were removed from the position of presidential bodyguard because of sexual misconduct. Chamora is said to lead more than 20 presidential bodyguards. Baracklaus is also a bodyguard supervisor. ^[2]

Chamola met a woman at the bar at the Harbour Plaza Adams Hotel in Washington in May 2013 and went to her room with her. After some time, Chamora claimed to have dropped a bullet with a gun on duty, "trying to enter her room again." Chamora may have left the bullet to go back and make an excuse. The woman refused to let him in again, so Chamora contacted the hotel security, who reported the incident to the Secret Service. ^[2]

The missing bullet case led to an investigation of Chamora, including a routine inspection of the government-equipped BlackBerry, which found sexually suggestive information about his and his subordinates. At the same time, investigators also found that Baracklaur also sent inappropriate sexual messages to female agents. ^[2]

Sources of the hotel incident included four insiders, including Balaklaw. The Secret Service declined to comment on the hotel scandal. ^[2]

The US Secret Service also had a scandal in 2012: Before President Obama went to Cartagena, Colombia to attend the Americas Summit, agents who checked security at the front station were recruiting prostitutes in the hotel, which seriously damaged the image of the Secret Service. ^[2]

On March 26, 2013, President Obama appointed Secret Service senior female agent Julia Pearson as the next director. ^[2]

US Secret Service Drunk Door

In March 2014, Secret Service agents broke out two drunken scandals in a row, annoyed Secret Service Director Julia Pearson, and Pearson issued an emergency "prohibition order" to the core special operations department of the Secret Service and conducted Personnel adjustments.

At the beginning of March, Obama came to Florida, USA. Two security agents in the early morning of April 7 collided with an oncoming motor vehicle while drinking and driving. On March 23, the day before Obama's arrival in the Netherlands to attend the Global Nuclear Security Summit, three of the Secret Service counterattack team's agents responsible for protecting Obama in Amsterdam went out drinking all night. personnel.

Following the two drunken incidents, Commissioner Pearson ordered the transfer of Special Operations Director Dan Donahue to other departments and readjusted the staff of the department to strengthen presidential security. The Secret Service also issued a code of conduct for the Special Operations Department, which prohibits agents from drinking alcohol within 12 hours of official duty and within 24 hours of the president's arrival at the destination. ^[3]
