| Description |
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.
The Department of Homeland Security was established with the passage
of (P.L. 107-296) which in part, transfered the U.S. Secret Service from the
Department of the Treasury, to the new department effective March 1, 2003. [Link]
