Academy Study
The United States Secret Service was established in 1865, originally tasked with the sole purpose of combatting the forgery of the American dollar. The Secret Service was, over time, retasked by Congress to undertake the protection of the President of the United States, and other key government officials, in addition to the protection of critical infrastructure. In 2003, the Secret Service was moved from the Department of the Treasury to the Department of Homeland Security.
The mission of the Secret Service is enabled by a network of support offices, empowering the agency to carry out its duties throughout the nation and around the world.
