Secret Service. The U.S. Secret Service (USSS) is a government agency charged with preventing counterfeiting and protecting the president of the United States, other high-ranking government officials, and presidential candidates. From its establishment in 1865 until March 1, 2003, the Secret Service was housed within the Treasury Department.
The Secret Service is world-renowned for the physical protection it provides to the nationâs highest elected leaders and other government officials. Permanent protectees, such as the president and first lady, have details of special agents permanently assigned to them.itle 18 of the United States Code, Section 3056, describes the agencyâs authority as provided by law. Since the U.S. Secret Serviceâs protective mission began in 1901, the agencyâs jurisdiction has expanded to meet the needs of an evolving security environment.
