Formerly part of the Treasury Department, I am now a Department of Homeland Security agency that carries out two significant missions: protection and criminal investigations. I protect the president and vice president, their families, heads of state, and other designated individuals; investigate threats against these protectees; and protect the White House, vice president’s residence, foreign missions, and other buildings within Washington, DC. I also investigate violations of laws relating to counterfeiting of obligations and securities of the United States and financial crimes that include access device fraud, financial institution fraud, identity theft, computer fraud, and computer-based attacks on the U.S. financial, banking, and telecommunications infrastructure.
