15 Secrets the Secret Service Doesn’t Want You to Know

15 Facts the Secret Service Agents Prefer to Keep Secret. They are always there at public events, accompany the President on his car or plane. However, most of us know nothing about the work of the secret service agents.

Men and women in black who have got the President’s back. That’s how we usually see the US Secret Service. They are always there at public events, accompany the President on his car or plane.
Ironically enough, President Abraham Lincoln approved the formation of the Service on the day he was assassinated, April 14th in 1865. Its original key function was to fight counterfeiting, which was a huge problem at that time. Only after a few more Presidents were assassinated did the Congress decide to add protection of the President to their duties. There are some many facts about the Secret Service, which they like to keep secret. Even its name suggests it, you know.

Looks like we are done with our list, but there is still a bonus secret we promised to share with you. We might imagine a Secret Service agent as a man or a woman in black with fancy gear on and weapons ready. It is true, but not entirely true.
Secret Service agents can also be fluffy and have four legs. They are super fast, and their hearing and smelling abilities are amazing. Dogs became part of the Secret Service in 1975. Their training is ongoing, and they keep learning new tricks every day even after the 17 weeks of initial training they get. From biting brave and crazy people who jump over the fence to White House lawns up to bomb sniffing – their range of tasks is impressive, and their service is impeccable.

SUMMARY
– A gray nine-story unmarked building in H street hosts armories, an operations center, and, of course, thousands of agents. Plus, a secret cafeteria (who knows, maybe they serve secret food in there).
– While it’s obvious that Secret Service agents should be all around the president at public gatherings or when he is traveling, you might be surprised to know they accompany him inside the White House, when he goes out with old friends and even when he takes a visit to the doctor.
– The vice-president, the first family, former presidents and their children till they turn sixteen, visiting heads of foreign states and their families are also under the protection of the Service.
– Do you think stab resistant suits, night-vision goggles, submachine guns and shades are equipped with cameras which send footage to identify any potential threats are only real in spy movies? Well, it is secret service agents’ reality.
– The best agents are trained to be able to save President’s life if they have to. Since he is never more than 10 minutes away from a hospital or trauma center, the agents have these 10 minutes to take emergency measures.
– Even people who undergo a thorough screening process, of course, are carefully watched by our men in black. Their every step in the food preparation process is under control. Navy stewards accompany the President and take care of his meals while he is traveling.
– No matter if you like the President or not, you should be careful when saying something aggressive or threatening, since Secret Service agents keep an eye out all the time.
– It is the Secret Service’s task to define how real the threat is. They will go as far as interviewing potential assassin’s family, neighbors and co-workers do understand if the person is mentally unstable, overly emotional or a real potential threat.
– Each hotel he is to stay at goes through serious examination. There will be background checks for hotel staff to work for the government guests.
– John F. Kennedy assassination in 1963 taught the Secret Service a good lesson as to how important it is to keep footage of the President when he is out at public rallies or driving in his motorcade.
