About us
The United States Secret Service is a federal law enforcement agency with headquarters in Washington, D.C., and more than 150 offices throughout the United States and abroad. The Secret Service was established in 1865, solely to suppress the counterfeiting of U.S. currency. Today, the agency is mandated by Congress to carry out dual missions: protection of national and visiting foreign leaders, and criminal investigations.

U.S. Secret Service reposted this
This election cycle is already historic and unlike any we've seen before. One constant is the level of planning, coordination, and meticulous attention to detail required to develop the National Special Security Event plans for the Republican and Democratic Conventions. For more than a year, our teams, along with our partners, have been focused on this task. Today, ABC News sat down with Kimberly C. to discuss what it takes and to get an update on the target-rich threat picture associated with the conventions. A heartfelt thank you to the DPD convention teams, Chicago Field Office and all the technical and mission support personnel who have all worked so hard to get us to this point.

Did you know the answer to #TriviaTuesday? Due to the danger of investigating counterfeiting in the 1860s, our operatives' lives were always at risk and their identities kept secret, so our agency became known as the "Secret Service." Tune in next week for another question!

Operation Sunburst was a success! 🌞 We partnered with law enforcement in Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville to visit nearly 500 businesses on the hunt for illegal credit card skimmers that criminals use to steal funds from unsuspecting victims. The results from this operation were outstanding, and will prevent as much as $4 million from theft. See the results below! #SecretServiceInvestigates
