How does the US Secret Service protect the US President and former Presidents? Understand every detail

Saturday was not a good day for former US President Donald Trump. He was shot at, luckily he managed to escape. The US Security Service took such a stand that the attacker was killed in a few seconds and the US President was not even hurt. The bullet passed by his ear, immediately after which Donald Trump bent down. When he got up, his face was covered in blood. Ear splattered with blood, face red and tongue faltering in panic, no one would have seen such a face of Donald Trump. After decades, it was seen that the security of a former US President has been breached. The way the US Secret Service works is such that the saying seems true that without his permission, even a bird cannot be attacked. Perhaps this is the case, that is why as soon as Trump was attacked, the attacker was killed within a few seconds. Being killed is not enough. This was the security of the former US President, in which there is no scope for a mistake.
Donald Trump is the Republican candidate. He is being provided with double level security. When a bullet was fired in his rally, questions were raised on the Secret Service Agency. Immediately after the attack, security personnel surrounded him. Several levels of security were immediately provided to him. Separate guards were seen on the stage and below. It seemed as if not just a few security personnel, but a whole group of security personnel was accompanying him. Such a scene is rarely seen. Let us know how the Secret Service Agency of America works, how former presidents and presidents get security.
How is the protection of former US President and President? Understand
The Secret Service Agency of America is responsible for the security of former presidents. It is the oldest legal agency of America. For the first time in the year 1965, the US Congress formed the Secret Service under Public Law 89-186. The purpose of this agency was to protect the former president and his wife or husband. This service is provided until the former president refuses.
Inputs are taken from intelligence agencies in advance about where the former US President will go, how large the crowd will be, how much danger is expected. They constantly keep an eye on the threats received, and remain in touch with local police as well as central agencies. Every day, state, central and local agencies share information with them about every proposed event.
Agencies like the US Secret Service Uniformed Division, Metropolitan Police Department, US Park Police Patrol are constantly connected to each other. They have all the most modern equipment and get training from experts to operate them. These agents also have the most modern weapons, which can end even the biggest attack in a few seconds. Their communication system remains very active.
Wherever the President goes, an advance team of the Secret Service has already reached there and taken charge. A contingent of city, state and central agencies have already started their work there. Interrogating people, keeping an eye on travellers, keeping an eye on every inch, these are very common things for these agents. If they feel the need to stop the movement, then it is stopped immediately.
The US President travels in limousines. He cannot stay in any open-air venue for more than 45 minutes. The President always flies in 6 Boeing C17 aircraft. These also have cars and helicopters. Intelligence officers from all the top agencies of America travel with him.
Security arrangements are designed like a ‘Chakravyuh’, the attacker is sure to die!
Ronald Kessler’s book ‘In the President’s Secret Service’ claims that the former President and President of America are always the target of terrorists. America has a contingent present in all the disputed countries of the world. America’s policies determine the direction of world politics, so the threat to their President is also the greatest. Secret Service agents surround their President like a Chakravyuh. At least 75 people are engaged in his security. Their arrangement is like a circle.
There are always 4 guards present with the former President. The security arrangements for the current President are even stronger. The venue is checked before he goes anywhere. The audience is also checked if required. They cannot stand in one position for long. The staff is checked. The venue is checked. An army of sniffer dogs first checks for bombs at the site of the incident. The anti-bomb squad also accompanies him.
Why did the agency fail in Donald Trump’s case?
Donald Trump is the potential President of America. There are indications that Joe Biden may lose power. In such a situation, his security has been increased due to him being a presidential candidate. Trump is repeatedly going to different locations for campaigning, so Secret Service officials have to repeatedly search different places. Many former US presidents have chosen a normal life but Donald Trump is dreaming of becoming President again. The Secret Service is taking care of Trump, the agency is not ready to hand over this responsibility to anyone else.
Large crowds have always gathered at Trump’s rallies. Local police provide assistance to the Secret Service. First the local police investigate, then Secret Service agents. Bombs, weapons, everything is checked. Donald Trump is always surrounded by tight security. This is the first time such an attack has happened on him. Questions are being raised that if all the spectators were thoroughly checked, metal tests were done, the venue was checked, then perhaps the armed man would not have been able to enter there. This is the biggest lapse in the 4-decade history of America. How did the armed man reach the rally is under question.
