| The United States Secret Service (USSS) was originally established to deal with financial fraud, not to protect the President of the country. Photo: Brightside. |
 |
| Treasury Secretary Hugh McCulloch was the one who suggested the establishment of the US Secret Service to former US President Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865. And that same evening, President Lincoln was assassinated. Photo: Brightside. |
 |
| To date, only one Secret Service agent has died in the line of duty. That was Leslie Coffelf, who died while protecting former President Harry Truman on November 1, 1950. Photo: Brightside. |
 |
| The headquarters of the US Secret Service is located on a street with the very short name H Street in Washington, DC. One thing that is quite special is that the area near the USSS headquarters does not have any trash cans to avoid the risk of bombing. Photo: Brightside. |
 |
| Secret Service agents are constantly observing, monitoring, and recording everything. They are tasked with tracking down the source of threatening letters or emails. The USSS has a database of thousands of inks to make the investigation easier. Photo: Brightside. |
 |
| One of the rules of the US Secret Service is not to leave the president alone. The White House owners cannot even be alone with a doctor without a US Secret Service agent by their side. Photo: Brightside. |
 |
| They also have to "indulge" the president's hobbies, such as jogging in the early morning or even surfing, etc. Photo: Brightside. |
 |
| The floor in the Oval Office in the White House is equipped with motion sensors. Therefore, when the president wants to be alone in this room, Secret Service agents can easily monitor any movements and potential threats. Photo: Brightside. |
 |
| The US Secret Service often gives code names to presidents and their relatives. For example, former President Barack Obama was nicknamed Renegade, Michelle Obama had the code name Renaissance, etc. Photo: Brightside. |
 |
| The US Secret Service always carries a spare bag of blood for the president and is ready to use medical skills to perform a blood transfusion if necessary. Photo: Brightside. |
 |
| Secret Service agents need to stay calm to be able to handle urgent situations best. Photo: Brightside. |
 |
| Before every important event, the US Secret Service will have to practice how to respond to all possible situations, such as assassinations or shootouts. They use special bullets in these training sessions. Photo: Brightside. |
 |
| New Secret Service agents will work in the office for 3 years before being assigned to more challenging missions in the field (4 to 7 years). After that, they will be promoted to a higher position or continue working in their current position. Photo: Brightside. |
 |
| In addition to protecting the US President, Secret Service agents must also ensure the safety of members of the presidential family, former presidents and their relatives, presidential guests or anyone their "boss" wants to protect. Photo: Brightside. |
 |
| Many people think that there are only about 100 agents working for the US Secret Service. In fact, this number is much larger (about 6,500 agents). Photo: Brightside. |
