Secret Service Reorganizes to Address Security Shortfalls

Senior-level personnel changes at the US Secret Service are underway as the agency works to resolve security breakdowns that preceded the two attempts on former President Donald Trump's life this summer. Acting Director Ron Rowe laid out his plan in an agencywide email, calling for a paradigm shift that will allow the agency to enhance its resources and streamline operations. The agency has created new positions to address communication lapses and the failure to detect a drone flown by the shooter before the July shooting in Pennsylvania. Additionally, the agency has established an Office of Staffing and Recruitment to elevate the critical hiring pipeline.
