  2. The Secret Service Lead is ultimately in charge of the entire operation. The Secret Service rely heavily on local law enforcement - the Secret Service Never comes with enough assets to complete the entire mission. They Never bring enough manpower to cover an operation. POTUS ops depends on local police at a ratio of maybe 5:1 manpower wise.

  5. The truth is the Secret Service shows up to these things woefully under manned and gives Local LE the worse assignments in the operation.

  6.  @jasonm1827  - I am talking - the old Secret Service: we’ve got the party - you guyz catch the parking lot. But that is the nature of the beast!

  7.  @jasonm1827  You’ve never worked with the SS on one of these have you??

  8.  @jasonm1827  That really depends if the Secret Service asked local LEOs to cover it. Anytime SS has local police covering anything - a SS agent is assigned to them - so that radio transmissions on either side can be monitored and relayed!

  9.  @lindawade4ok639 He is full of it. The Secret Service always shows up to these protection operations woefully short handed manpower wise - and make huge demands on Local LE. They need Local LE!

  10.  @CarlMartin-hw3ev  And - we always USE the “Counter-Part” system - we pair up with as many Agents as possible - so I hear their radio and their hear my radio - Which allows everyone to have communications with each other.

  11.  @jasonm1827  You never worked one of these have you. Local LE has no obligation is even participate in these operations - although the Federal Government expects them to and there is never any budgeted reimbursement for manpower and equipment used by Local LE while participating in these operations - they eat the cost of any Official that needs protecting when they come to your town or city. There is no mandate that requires local LE to participate in these Ops - nor is there a “100 yard rule” of responsibility. Where did you get that from ???! Right now that SS Director is fighting to keep his job- he’ll say anything.
