The Secret Service And A Protective Security Policy

The role of Homeland Security originated from the Founding Fathers, under the United States Constitution, that created a system and gave the primary role of homeland security to state and local governments (Oliver, 2007). When state and local governments became overwhelmed and could no longer effectively deal with a crisis then homeland security government would assist those governments (Oliver, 2007). The relationship was created through the United States Constitution in Article 4, Section 4, which declared that “the United States shall guarantee to every state in this Union a Republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence” (U.S. Constitution, 2015) (Oliver, 2007). President John F. Kennedy was elected 1961, and made it a priority to necessitate organizational changes with homeland security (Oliver, 2007). President John F. Kennedy felt that local governments were doing little if anything to prepare for natural disasters and civil defense (Oliver, 2007). This became a priority for the Kennedy administration, and the office of civil and Defense mobilization was split into two agencies that became known as the Office of Emergency Planning and the Office of Civil Defense (Oliver, 2007).

Truman Capote, a reporter of one of the many cold blooded murders in our nation takes an unorthodox path in reporting the murder of the “all-American” Clutter family of 4 by Dick Hickock and Perry Smith. In his story In Cold Blood, by giving the reader an insight into the past and the minds of both Dick and Perry, a likeness can be observed between them and the psychological profiles of thousands of other cold-blooded killers since the murder of the Clutter family. However, this gives a false impression that all deranged killers have rational, easily detectable reasons for their abhorrent crimes. Perry had an appalling childhood and is psychopathic. Dick had a great childhood, but because he couldn’t go to college, he became bitter and resentful, hating the entire world. Simple enough, right? However, through an analysis of Capotes In

The secret service has many roles in which it has to deal with in society today. Their two main responsibility is stopping illegal counterfeiting and protecting government officials. Some other responsibilities which they might do differ from computers, home security, any type of illegal fraud, forgery of bonds, US checks, and other obligations.

The protective mission began in 1901. The secret service protects the president of the united

The United States of America has an elite group of men and women who protect their President, and handle monetary crimes such as counterfeiting, and financial crimes, they are called the United States Secret Service. These top agents work hard daily to crack down on fraudulent crimes, and keep the Commander in Chief alive. This report will highlight their work from 1850- 1901. 3 presidents were killed in this time period, and much of the USA’s currency was fake and useless. All that considered, somebody had to step in and fix things. The Secret Service was the saving grace, and helped to get the nation back on the right track. This paper will show how

The United States Secret Service is one of the oldest federal law enforcement agencies in the country, and one of the most elite in the world. Secret Service’s mission is to protect the president, vice president and others; and investigations into crimes against the financial infrastructure of the United States (USSS History. (n.d.).

After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, people in the United States knew that absolutely anything could happen without even thinking about it. This event made the government realize that the United States security was not the best it could be. There always has been security everywhere, but today everything is taken to another level and is being controlled with a great amount of precautions. Now there is a lot more airport security, which will help prevent any more hijacking of planes or bombings. There has also been a lot more security in New York City because of the terrorist attack. There are also new technologies and programs that help with the security of this country.

Keith L. Alexander, Kimberly Kindy, and Wesley Lowery (2015) researched the deaths of mentally distraught people who have been shot by law enforcement officers and found that “police have shot and killed 124 people this year [2015] who were in the throes of mental or emotional crisis … the dead account for a quarter of the 462 people shot to death by police in the first six months of 2015.” Many of the victims were armed, but the majority of them were killed by officers who were not even responding to crime reports, but they were actually “called by relatives, neighbors, or other bystanders worried that a mentally fragile person was behaving erratically.” (Alexander, Kindy, Lowery, 2015). In the same article, authors Alexander, Kindy, and Lowery share a story about one of the youngest police shooting victims. When 17 year -old Kristiana Coignard entered the lobby of a police station in Longview, Texas, she was seeking help. After struggling with depression and bipolar disorder for nearly five years, taking medication for the illnesses, and even meeting with her counselor that day, she entered the station around 6:30 p.m. A video later released by Longview police shows that Coignard wanders into the station, checks her cell phone, then moves to the far wall of the lobby to use a

By law, the Secret Service has to protect the president, the vice president, or other individuals next in order of succession to the Office of the President, the president-elect and vice president-elect, the immediate families of the presidents, Vice Presidents, etc. When there are major presidential and vice presidential candidates, and their spouses within 120 days of a general presidential election, and other individuals as designated per Executive Order of the President and National Special Security Events, when designated as such by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security

Think about this : A terrorist could bring in a grenade and take out President Obama or Vice President Biden.Equally shocking, the Secret Service is not equipped with the most powerful firearms, such as the Colt M4 carbine used by the FBI and even Amtrak police. Hmmmm again With unlimited personnel and technical resources a protecte's security is guarnteed.

Private security is described as an industry that provides private and corporate security programs to the United States. Public security is described as government officiated jobs that protects the citizens, institutions, and organizations. In the nineteenth and earlier twentieth centuries, security in the public and private sector were very corrupt. The first paid public police department was created in Boston in 1838, followed by New York City in 1845 and Philadelphia in 1854 (Dempsey, 2007). Following, there were several other cities that also developed their respective public police organizations.

I do not believe the United States is in a better position since the passage of the Homeland Security Bill for a catastrophic event. The attacks that occurred on 9/11 involved the hijacking of jumbo jet aircrafts and using them to cause a catastrophic event. Under the Homeland Security Bill, this directly led to the creation of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) (Cordner, 2016). Recently, in 2015 the TSA failed miserably when tested to find weapons and explosives at an abysmal rate of 96% of the time (Sasse, 2015). The FBI has publicly stated that there are potential ISIS recruits in all 50 states (Sasse, 2015). The NSA was dialed back from what data they could collect in a fight over constitutional rights versus homeland security (Sasse, 2015).

The President of the United States is known for being heavily guarded when going to important events such as reading speeches and meeting with other national officials. These guards are known as the Secret Service. In the entertainment world, these men are often portrayed as mysterious men in black and white suits that protect the president. In recent events, the Secret Service was seen walking beside President Donald Trump at his Inauguration Parade. They were seen with large black trench coats, and it was assumed that they were carrying automatic submachine guns under them in case of an attack.

Private security is an increasingly growing industry with an increasing demand in recent years. It has reached the point where private security officers outnumber police officers in the United States, according to an article in The Washington Post. Similar trends are occurring in other countries as well. Yet many websites including CNN claim that security guards are untrained and incompetent. How is this supposed to make people feel safer? Thankfully, these claims are largely untrue and exist only to stir up rumours which sell newspapers. Here are the ways unarmed security officers are keeping people safe and preventing crime every day, in ways that you probably don’t realize:

The Secret Service is one of America’s oldest federal investigative law enforcement agencies. It was founded in 1865 as a branch of the United States Treasury Department. The Secret Service was originally created to combat the counterfeiting of the United States currency in circulation. This was a serious problem at the time. The Secret Service has many other responsibilities. In fact, the Secret Service protects the president, gathers intelligence, and does diplomatic business with other countries.
