Component Budget Overview
The FY 2023 Budget includes $3.0B; 8,305 positions; and 8,163 FTE for the United States Secret Service. The FY 2023 Budget supports Secret
Service requirements and includes the agency’s highest priority initiatives as follows:
• Sustain protective countermeasures and operational readiness to safeguard the security and protection of designated persons, facilities, and major
events.
• Expand and invest in the USSS workforce to address mission-based staffing needs as outlined in the “Human Capital Strategic Plan”.
• Support Secret Service requirements by increasing operational and equipment readiness in preparation for the 2024 Presidential Campaign.
• Continue armoring base platforms for the Fully Armored Vehicles (FAV) program and begin transitioning to the next generation FAV platform.
• Enhance USSS’s investigative capabilities and information technologies to maintain parity with criminal organizations.
• Provide support for our Nation’s law enforcement partners through programs such as the National Computer Forensics Institute (NCFI) and the
National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC).
FY 2023 funding will enable the Secret Service to continue achievements in personnel growth, maintain its unequalled performance in this zero-fail
mission space, and continue to secure the Nation’s financial interests.

Dollar change only.
…[$51,621,000] $52,296,000
Dollar change only. This is a sum of all two-year funding in Operations and Support:
$18,000,000 for protective travel. Protective travel needs are dictated by the travel schedules of protectees, so it is difficult to
predict costs from one year to the next. Two-year authority for this requirement allows the Secret Service to meet legislated
protection requirements despite annual fluctuations in protective travel requirements. The Secret Service’s ability to budget and
execute funding for protective travel and other requirements would be negatively impacted by a shorter period of availability.
$4,500,000 for National Special Security Events (NSSEs). Requirements for protection of NSSEs vary year to year based on the
number of designated NSSEs. Two-year authority allows the Secret Service to meet its mandated requirement to provide protection
for NSSEs despite annual fluctuations in requirements. The Secret Service’s ability to budget and execute funding for NSSEs and
other requirements would be negatively impacted by a shorter period of availability.
$15,241,000 for protective countermeasures. Two-year funding is necessary for the Secret Service to anticipate and respond to
emerging threats and adversarial technologies and provide for unexpected maintenance for existing protective countermeasures. A
shorter period of availability would negatively impact the Secret Service’s ability to protect the White House Complex and other
protected sites from existing and emerging threats.
$1,675,000 for International Cooperative Administrative Support Services for international field operations. Two-year funding is
necessary for the Secret Service to ensure USSS has the flexibility to maintain foreign service operations and relations without
interruption as USSS is called on to conduct investigations on transnational criminal organizations or collaborate with foreign
partners.
$12,880,000 for minor procurements, construction, and improvements of the James J. Rowley Training Center (RTC). Maintenance
requirements at RTC are often unpredictable, such as major system breakdowns or weather damage. Two-year authority is
necessary to ensure Secret Service can address emergency maintenance and repair requirements. A shorter period of availability
would negatively impact the Secret Service’s ability to provide safe and reliable facilities for RTC students and staff.

Strategic Context
Component Overview
The U.S. Secret Service (USSS) safeguards the Nation’s financial infrastructure and payment systems to preserve the integrity of the economy, and
protects national leaders, visiting heads of state and government, designated sites, and National Special Security Events.
The strategic context presents the performance budget by tying together programs with performance measures that gauge the delivery of results to
our stakeholders. DHS has integrated a mission and mission support programmatic view into a significant portion of the Level 1 Program, Project, or
Activities (PPAs) in the budget. A mission program is a group of activities acting together to accomplish a specific high-level outcome external to
DHS, and includes operational processes, skills, technology, human capital, and other resources. Mission support programs are those that are cross-
cutting in nature and support multiple mission programs. Performance measures associated with USSS's mission programs are presented in two
measure sets, strategic and management measures. Strategic measures communicate results delivered for our agency mission and are considered our
Government Performance and Results Act Modernization Act (GPRAMA) measures. Additional supporting measures, known as management
measures, are displayed to enhance connections to resource requests. The measure tables indicate new measures and those being retired, along with
historical data if available.
Field Operations: The Field Operations program supports the daily operations of the domestic and international field offices. The program is staffed
by Special Agents, Uniformed Division Officers, Technical Law Enforcement, and administrative, professional, and technical personnel. Program
personnel divide their time between conducting criminal investigations of financial crimes, cybercrimes, counterfeit currency, protective intelligence,
and performing physical protection responsibilities. This enables the Department to protect the U.S. economy and continuity of government by
investigating threats to financial payment systems, threats to leadership and locations, and events with symbolic and practical significance to U.S.
citizens in physical space and cyberspace.
Strategic Measures
Measure: Amount of cyber-financial crime loss prevented (in billions)
Description: This measure is an estimate of the direct dollar loss to the public prevented due to cyber-financial investigations by the U.S. Secret Service. The
dollar loss prevented is based on the estimated amount of financial loss that would have occurred had the offender not been identified nor the criminal enterprise
interrupted. The measure reflects the U.S. Secret Service’s efforts to reduce financial losses to the public attributable to cyber financial crimes.

Description: This measure represents the number of cyber mitigation responses provided by the U.S. Secret Service (USSS). The USSS responds to
organizations that suspect a malicious network intrusion has occurred and implements mitigation responses to secure the network(s). Each cyber mitigation
response involves one or more of the following activities related to a particular network intrusion: identifying potential victims/subjects, notifying
victims/subjects, interviewing victims/subjects, confirming network intrusion, supporting mitigation of breach activity, and retrieving and analyzing forensic
evidence. State or Federal arrests resulting from and/or related to these intrusions are measured separately.

Protective Operations: The Protective Operations program protects the President and Vice President and their families, former Presidents and their
spouses, visiting heads of state and government, and other designated individuals. It also secures the White House Complex, Vice President's
Residence, and other designated places; and designs, coordinates, and implements operational security plans for designated National Special Security
Events (NSSEs). The program investigates, evaluates, disseminates, and maintains information concerning known, potential, or perceived threats to
protectees, locations, and NSSEs. The program is staffed by Special Agents, Uniformed Division Officers, Technical Law Enforcement, and
administrative, professional, and technical personnel that work closely with the military and with federal, state, county, local, and international law
enforcement organizations to ensure mission success. This enables the Department to facilitate continuity of government and overall homeland
security.

Transfer 1 – Transfer of Cyber Reserve from MGMT/OS/OCIO to Components: The FY 2022 Budget identified a “Cyber Reserve” for the nine
agencies significantly impacted by the SolarWinds incident. The purpose of the Cyber Reserve is to address immediate response needs and does not
focus on wholesale replacement of IT systems. Cyber Reserve funding targets critical cybersecurity needs and prioritizes basic cybersecurity
enhancements, including cloud security, Security Operations Center (SOC) enhancements, encryption, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), increased
logging functions, and enhanced monitoring tools. This FY 2023 transfer represents USSS’ portion of the cyber reserve funding to address Microsoft
365 license upgrades and security features, sustainment of threat hunting capabilities, and application authentication.

Program Change 1 – 2024 Presidential Campaign:
Description
The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $34.0M in preparation for the 2024 Presidential Campaign. There is no base for this program.
U.S. Secret Service Operations and Support
USSS – O&S - 16
Justification
The Secret Service is mandated by law (Title 18 U.S.C. 3056) to provide protection and security for “major presidential and vice presidential
candidates, and their spouses.” During presidential campaigns, the Secret Service experiences a significant increase in its protective workload as the
Agency provides protection for the designated candidates/nominees, in addition to other protective and investigative responsibilities.
The FY 2023 Budget supports Secret Service requirements by providing increases to operational and equipment readiness in preparation for the 2024
Presidential Campaign. To successfully execute campaign activities throughout the country, equipment and assets must be purchased and pre-
positioned. Requested funding will provide for refresh and strategic deployment of magnetometers and X-ray equipment; communications and
information technology equipment and supplies; medical supplies; shipping and storage; equipment for specialized teams; supplies and equipment
needed for site security; and other required supplies and equipment. This request also includes funding to train Secret Service and other Federal
partner agencies; funding for services to prepare for campaign activities; and funding to purchase and preposition assets and equipment with long-
lead times, which have been exacerbated by supply-chain challenges. Specialized protective training is required for Secret Service special agents,
uniformed officers, and technical and administrative support employees, and will take place both in the field and at the James J. Rowley Training
Center (JJRTC/RTC) in Beltsville, Maryland, incurring training-related travel costs. In addition to training Secret Service employees, the Service will
conduct specialized protective training for a large number of personnel from other Department of Homeland Security (DHS) components, including
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents, Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
officers, and others who will be supplementing Secret Service personnel in support of Campaign 2024.
Performance
Funding is required to prepare for the increased operational tempo of the 2024 Presidential Campaign and provide 100 percent incident-free
protection for protected candidates and campaign events. Purchasing and pre-positioning assets and equipment (magnetometers, perimeter security
assets, information technology equipment, etc.) is required to identify threats and mitigate risks to protected candidates and campaign events.
Training Secret Service employees and other Federal partners will enable operational readiness and success. At a minimum, USSS will conduct 12
protective advance training courses to USSS personnel stationed in strategically selected districts; host sixteen 16 protective detail training courses at
JJRTC for USSS personnel assigned to field offices; and train other Federal agents at JJRTC or other Federal facilities.
Program Change 2 –Business Management Efficiencies:
Description
The FY 2023 Budget includes a reduction of $5.0M for business management costs (supplies and equipment). The base for this program is $150.0M.
Justification
The USSS reviewed business management costs (supplies and equipment) and requirements in light of the pandemic and increased telework posture.
Based on this assessment, $5.0M was identified as an efficiency to reduce and realign to more critical operations. This was a risk-based approach,
looking across all Directorates to assess usage and impact.
U.S. Secret Service Operations and Support
USSS – O&S - 17
Performance
USSS anticipates the operational impact to be minimal, as the Agency utilizes technologies and considers the hybrid work environment including
telework and remote work. As the government exits the pandemic and new policies are implemented, the USSS will continue to assess its in-office
support requirements and adjust accordingly.
Program Change 3 – Decision Support Systems:
Description
The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $6.3M to provide contractual services in support of USSS-wide reporting and analytical capabilities.
The base for this program is 6 Positions, 6 FTE, and $6,000.
Justification
Decisions that ensure USSS mission success in the next decade will require access to quality data, solid research, accountability measurement, and a
commitment to thinking about the challenges of the future operational environment. In order to continue to provide robust analytics and meet
information demands of external stakeholders, USSS needs to continue to invest in our back office IT infrastructure. Investments in analytical tools
and support will enable USSS to provide the transparency and detailed information in response to the number of ever-growing requests.
Requests from external stakeholders require detailed analysis and increased reporting, taking time away from the operational mission. Adding tools
and dedicated contract support will free up government personnel to maintain mission focus, and bring analytical expertise to ensure proper reporting
and transparency. Funding for decision support systems will procure commercial-off-the-shelf financial systems and licenses to expand the
programming phase capabilities and implement a budgeting system. Implementation of a programming and budget module that is integrated with
DHS OneNumber and the USSS Financial System (TOPS) will drive automation and efficiencies in the financial process, as well as allow for
historical analysis and improve future projections. It will also provide for the digitization of legacy paper records, creating a records and knowledge
management system that can be integrated with other tools.
Funding will procure data visualization Tools, such as Tableau, for USSS enterprise use. An enterprise-wide capability would provide a far-reaching
impact on the production of agency-wide reports for use in leadership decision-making, for everything from annual reports, to workforce planning
reports, and Administrative Office Division (AOD) facility tracking projects. These data visualization tools will aid USSS in better data management
and is in keeping with the data-driven decision making effort as mandated in the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018. By
procuring software, investing in strategic research and threat casting capabilities, and AI tools to further automate research, USSS will be able to
enhance strategic foresight and strategy management.
Decision Support System funding will fund a base capability with Sandia National Lans (SNL), who USSS is partnering with to establish a
quantitative operational risk model to enable the Service to evaluate, anticipate and test different productive capabilities at a site in the face of an ever
adapting adversary.
U.S. Secret Service Operations and Support
USSS – O&S - 18
Performance
Investing in decision support systems and their associated support will have a number of positive impacts on USSS, including but not limited to
increasing the ability to quickly respond to inquiries while maintaining focus on operational and investigative missions; improve strategic foresight
and strategy development in order to transform and stay ahead of threats; enabling at-a-glance success measurement and initiative reporting and
tracking; enhancing USSS’s ability to tie mission objectives to budget requests, monitor execution results against spend plans, and provide advanced
analytics to help agency decision makers understand key trends and make decisions; pivoting away from an isolated data approach and towards a
more open data-driven decision-making mindset; and providing better overall control and timely access for knowledge, records, and analytics.
This funding will close the gap between the many systems in which records are “born digital” and the legacy records that predated them. It will also
help USSS eliminate paper-based records to the fullest extent practical, in order to meet OMB and National Archives and Records Administration
(NARA) mandates contained in OMB Memorandum M-19-21.
Program Change 4 – Field Office Information Kiosks:
Description
The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $19,000 to support the Field Office Information Kiosks. There is no base for this program.
Justification
USSS requires informational kiosks at key field offices throughout the United States to provide HQ and regionally targeted communication, and
critical updates to the workforce. The kiosk will bring attention to major announcements to USSS personnel and create a call to action. For example,
if there is an agency-wide need for employees to get their flu shot, the kiosks can provide a reminder to them when they enter into their office. The
kiosks also have the ability to remind individuals to complete Federal-wide surveys such as the Federal Viewpoint Survey, and to improve morale
through individual and group achievement announcements.
Performance
Funding would allow for purchase and deployment of the equipment needed for the kiosks, providing one primary and one back up unit to each of the
12 offices, with the intent of increasing communication throughout the Agency as outlined in the USSS Director's goals and USSS strategic plan. The
information kiosks will provide a 24/7 static messaging system for 12 field offices thereby automating critical administrative communications and
freeing up Special Agents in Charge (SAICs) and other supervisory personnel in the field to focus on operations. This will also have the added
benefit of providing a one-stop shop to ensure effective, and targeted communication is distributed to employees on field specific issues.
Program Change 5 – Field Office Public Affairs Program:
Description
The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $5,000 for operating funds in support of the Field Office Public Affairs Program. There is no base for
this program.
U.S. Secret Service Operations and Support
USSS – O&S - 19
Justification
The FY 2023 Budget requests funding for supplies, equipment, and transportation for the Field Office Public Affairs Programs. The field office
Public Affairs Program will support field office leadership to plan, coordinate, and execute communication plans, press releases, internal stories, and
facilitate media journalists on behalf of their offices.
Performance
The request is a part of USSS’s ongoing efforts to increase and improve communication capacity, which supports 24-hour integrated investigation
and protection missions outlined in the USSS FY 2018 – FY 2022 Strategic Plan. This funding will provide supplies, equipment and transportation to
Public Affairs Specialists working with Field Office Leadership to engage in communication and media relations. These personnel would deploy to
field offices to provide communication support for each of the four regions allowing regional Special Agents in Charge (SAICs) to focus on their
investigative missions. The field office locations identified for this initiative are Los Angeles, Dallas or Houston, Chicago, Miami, and New York.
Program Change 6 – Hiring Assessments - Law Enforcement Entrance Examinations:
Description
The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $2.4M to enhance hiring assessments for Law Enforcement hires. The base for this program is $0.7M.
Justification
The Secret Service has worked diligently to update hiring and onboarding processes across all job series in the USSS, as well as working to address
higher than anticipated attrition. These efforts resulted in the agency successfully achieving staffing targets in FY 2021. The Secret Service has
recognized the value in hiring the right personnel for Special Agent (SA), Uniformed Division (UD), and Technical Law Enforcement (TLE) career
fields. Funding will be used for two purposes. First, to administer computer-based tests to Law Enforcement (LE) applicants, which will expedite
hiring by screening out unqualified candidates, thus increasing the efficiency of the overall hiring process. The second purpose for funding is to
update the current assessments and bring them in line with updated protocol and processes. All new assessments will be updated based off industry
standards and programs to ensure effectiveness.
Performance
The Secret Service recognizes the need to increase employee engagement and to reduce attrition as well as focus on engaging and retaining highly
skilled personnel. This request is directly linked to the USSS Human Capital Strategic Plan goals to increase workforce size and drive down attrition,
while filling a gap in the current assessment of USSS law enforcement personnel in the hiring process. It is critical to USSS organizational hiring
timelines and credibility to get the best possible candidates, who can operate under unique and extreme conditions. Assessing critical aspects of
psychological suitability, as well as assessing knowledge, skills and abilities for law enforcement jobs early on identifies if candidates can perform
under these conditions.

Program Change 7 – Human Capital Strategic Plan Growth:
Description
The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of 200 Positions, 100 FTE, and $42.4M for Human Capital Strategic Plan Growth. The base for this
program is 8,105 Positions, 7,961 FTE, and $1.7B.
Justification
The Secret Service’s human capital needs are driven by mission requirements, a mission that must react quickly to ever-changing external drivers and
events, requiring the Agency to be operationally nimble in managing increasing workloads and keep pace with adversaries. The Secret Service
integrated mission continues to grow both in size and complexity – increasingly sophisticated financial cyber-crimes, evolving weapon technology,
and more demanding presidential campaigns all require more of Secret Service workforce in both skillset and quantity. The 200 positions in the FY
2023 Budget will support the following programs; Personnel Screening Canine - Open Area Program - 18 personnel, Protective Operations - White
House Security, Civil Disturbance, Residence Security - 48 personnel, Training and Development - RTC Distributive Learning - 4 personnel, Field
Operations, Cyber Financial Crime, Mobile Wireless Investigations - 130 personnel.
Performance
Throughout its history, the Secret Service always has been agile and responsive to external drivers to keep pace with adversaries. Consistent,
incremental staffing of our agency workforce to validated, model-derived staffing requirements across both the protective and investigative missions
is an achievable step toward restoring full mission end strength, readiness, and capability.
Program Change 8 – Information Technology Support and Infrastructure (ITSI) - Radios:
Description
The FY 2023 Budget includes a reduction of $5.0M to the Enterprise Radio Program. The base for this program is $30.0M.
Justification
The U.S. Secret Service’s Enterprise Radio Program identifies mission-based requirements for life-safety critical radio systems agency wide,
replacing the 25-year-old USSS radio systems across the United States which are utilized for protective, investigative, and interoperable
communications while creating a standard refresh cycle and sustainment plan. The USSS has analyzed the Enterprise Radio Program status and
anticipates a one-time reduced sustainment need in FY 2023 due to schedule adjustments.
Performance
Funding requirements are evaluated for immediate mission risk and operational execution, and are adjusted for increases or reductions in funding.
Priority is given to sustainment and then investment in replacement and upgrades to equipment. At the projected $25.0M, the USSS will be able to
sustain critical radio systems in Washington D.C., the New York City region, former President of the United States (POTUS) residences, and the
NSSE radio cache.

USSS – O&S - 21
Program Change 9 – National Computer Forensics Institute (NCFI):
Description
The FY 2023 Budget includes a reduction of $7.0M to the National Computer Forensics Institute (NCFI) program. The base for this program is 18
positions, 16 FTE, and $37.2M.
Justification
Public Law 115-76 authorizes the USSS to train and equip law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges to confront cyber threats facing our nation.
Furthermore, the Public Law 107-56 directed the USSS to establish a nationwide network of task forces to bring together not only Federal, State and
local law enforcement, but also prosecutors, private industry, and academia in a unified effort to fight cybercrime through the prevention, detection,
mitigation, and aggressive investigation of attacks on the nation's financial and critical infrastructures. Through the NCFI, state and local law
enforcement are empowered to process digital evidence, computer artifacts, and mobile devices to decipher criminal schemes impacting their
respective communities, thus filling the capability gaps between flood of cybercrimes and the USSS manpower available to respond. The NCFI’s
training mission empowers Secret Service’s investigative task forces to form a strong digital forensics response to criminal investigations and cyber
threats. The reduction of $7.0M in funding is based on a risk assessment and prioritization for the USSS enterprise.
Performance
The NCFI will continue training over 2,800 students, which is similar to the FY 2020 level. Graduates of the NCFI have gone on to conduct more
than 450,000 forensic exams, used in a variety of different cases including crimes against children, violent crimes, and cyber financial cases.
Program Change 10 - Non-Recur of FY 2021 Presidential Transition:
Description
The FY 2023 Budget includes a reduction of $20.0M in travel and operational funding associated with the new administration. The base for this
program is $29.4M.
Justification
The FY 2023 budget decreases post presidential base funding by $20.0M, and allows USSS to continue support for ongoing protection requirements.
Performance
USSS will continue to support the sustainment for recurring costs associated with the additional protectees, protected facilities, and the requirements
that underpin the USSS’s protective operations mission following the transition of administrations.
Program Change 11 – Non-Recur of Protective Intelligence Costs:
Description
The FY 2023 Budget includes a reduction of $2.0M for the Protective Intelligence program. The base for this program is $6.2M.
U.S. Secret Service Operations and Support
USSS – O&S - 22
Justification
The Office of Strategic Intelligence and Information (SII) plans, directs and coordinates all efforts involving the collection, evaluation and
dissemination of operational intelligence and information affecting the Secret Service’s protective mission. SII also plans, directs and coordinates the
risk assessments, protective intelligence investigations and behavioral research. SII divisions include the Protective Intelligence and Assessment
Division (PID) and the Counter Surveillance Division (CSD). The USSS will continue to manage operations and mission needs for this program.
Performance
The reduction is not expected to affect performance.
Program Change 12 - Peer Support Program:
Description
The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $34,000 for Peer Support Program. There is no base funding for this program.
Justification
The USSS Peer Support Program (PSP) has been in existence since June of 2016. Previously, the USSS Peer Support Program has been funded
through an inter-agency agreement from DHS and has trained 52 collateral duty Special Agents, Uniformed Officers, Special Officers, and
Administrative Professional and Technical employees and maintains a peer cadre of 125 members. USSS is seeking funding to continue the program
in-house, as reimbursement is no longer available. This annual program sustainment request is for the supplies, equipment, training, and marketing.
The requested amount would allow the program to grow by approximately 24 new Peer support members per year, and provide ongoing continuing
education training for the current Peer Support members.
Performance
To support the USSS mission of “protection of persons”, the request to fund a Peer Support Program would provide additional, confidential support
services for the USSS workforce. In recent years, the Agency has created a comprehensive model to support employees by augmenting the resources
under the Office of Equity and Employee Support Services (EES). This includes the addition of a Chaplain Program, and new services under the
Employee Assistance Program, such as work-life programs and a Peer Support Program. The Peer Support Program provides emotional support to
employees who may struggle with personal or professional concerns; or who are involved in critical incident events. The Peer Support Program acts
as a force multiplier, strengthening and expanding the outreach efforts of the Employee Assistance Program. The Peer Support Program also
increases the emotional health options for law enforcement personnel who report challenges with leaving their duty stations to seek help. Peer
members, many of whom are agents and officers, can provide immediate accessibility since they are within field offices, branches, and divisions.
Program Change 13 – Professional Training Programs:
Description
The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $64,000 to provide training and professional development programs within the Office of Professional
Responsibility for Internal Affairs and Anti-Harassment Training. There is no base for this program.
U.S. Secret Service Operations and Support
USSS – O&S - 23
Justification
Personnel is the Secret Service’s most valued resource as the Agency plans growth to a 8,305 staffing level in FY 2023. Fully developing and
supporting our workforce is vital for USSS’ mission success. Strategic workforce planning alone cannot address the complex challenges associated
with ensuring that employees continue to thrive. Secret Service leaders are committed to working together to create an engaging and fulfilling work
environment that provides mechanisms for holistic support and makes the Secret Service a preferred employer for talented individuals across all
workforce areas. This requires critical investments across the USSS to meet regulatory requirements for providing training in internal affairs and anti-
harassment.
Performance
The vision of the Secret Service is to uphold the tradition of excellence in its protective and investigative mission through a dedicated, highly trained
and diverse workforce that promotes professionalism and employs advance technologies in support of its programs and activities.
Training was also a critical area identified in the FY 2015 Protective Mission Panel Study after the 2014 White House fence jumper incident, and this
funding supports closing those gaps identified in the findings and recommendations. All Secret Service employees must be aware of and have access
to enhanced professional growth opportunities throughout their careers. A key facet of organizational health is the vitality of employees acquiring
new skills and enhancing existing competencies. Employees also must perceive that their leadership is committed to offering professional
development opportunities in a consistent, transparent, and objective manner.
Program Change 14– Protective Countermeasures Capabilities:
Description
The FY 2023 Budget includes a reduction of $12.8M in Protective Countermeasure. The base for this program is 166 Positions, 166 FTE, and
$87.8M.
Justification
The Operational Mission Support (OMS) program supports the protection of the President and Vice President at the White House Complex (WHC),
the Vice President’s Residence, and temporary sites from explosive, chemical, biological, radiological, and cyber-threats. The advanced protective
countermeasures that are part of OMS are designed to address both established and evolving threats.
It is critical to continually refresh and update/upgrade technical countermeasures to ensure a safe and secure environment for the President, Vice
President, and other Secret Service protectees. The operations and sustainment of Secret Service protective technologies proactively ensures mission
critical systems remain in good operational condition, avoids system failure, and prevents compounding out-year cost impacts and operational delays.
Operational capabilities are therefore slated for PC&I level lifecycle replacements in FY 2023 and will need fewer O&S funds.
Performance
There is minimal operational impact to this reduction as USSS refreshes and upgrades equipment through a regular a procurement cycle.
U.S. Secret Service Operations and Support
USSS – O&S - 24
Program Change 15 – Records Management Systems:
Description
The FY 2023 Budget includes an increase of $0.5M to purchase case management and tracking software for the Office of the Chief Counsel (LEG)
and an Inspection Data Management System for the Office of Professional Responsibility There is no base for this program.
Justification
Enabling functions such as Legal support and Inspections ensure that USSS is compliant with the numerous Federal, DHS and USSS policies and
procedures. Investing in data and case management software in these areas will revolutionize management for these activities, providing the ability to
comprehensively track and manage workflows from ingestion to completion.
The case management and tracking software will ensure that USSS is compliant with the numerous Federal, DHS, and USSS policies and procedures.
Investing in data management software will revolutionize LEG’s ability to comprehensively track and manage workflows from ingestion to
completion. It will also allow employees and supervisors to gain real-time information on the status of cases and electronic access to documents in
those cases from anywhere, providing one central location to save documents which will ensure version control by allowing multiple users to access
and work on the same document at the same time from multiple locations or devices.
The Inspection Data Management System (IDMS) will enhance records management to preserve and provide comprehensive tracking of internal
affairs investigative case records. This tool will help the Inspection Division manage an increasing volume of reported internal affairs incidents, as
well as record and retain investigative casework conducted in support of internal affairs and anti-harassment investigations. It will also offer a variety
of data output options for audit and other reporting purposes.
Performance
Case management and tracking software will better assist the Agency in executing its mission by ensuring that cases and legal questions are
responded to in a quick and efficient manner, directly aligning to the USSS Strategic Goal of modernizing business processes, and providing the most
up to date technology used by legal and inspection offices to track and manage case files. Case management software also enables critical
information preservation in accordance with Federal government-wide requirements to reduce paperwork as well as internal Agency processes and
protocols.
Program Change 16 – Reduction to Vehicle Maintenance:
Description
The FY 2023 Budget includes a reduction of $3.0M to the Vehicle Maintenance program. The base for this program is $20.6M.
Justification
The USSS has identified that $17.6M in funding will allow for the continued sustainment of the home-to-work leased vehicles that have been
consolidated through FY 2022.

Explanation of Non Pay Cost Drivers
Information Technology Support and Infrastructure (ITSI): ITSI reflects a convergence of the former Information Integration and Technology
Transformation (IITT) modernization program (now in sustainment) with the IT Infrastructure (ITI) legacy program. The converged ITSI program
supports all Secret Service IT programs enterprise-wide to include the modernized network, the classified network, IT applications, Network
Operations Security Center (NOSC) and Help Desk, program management, IT applications support, PC/peripherals refresh, IT Governance &
Accountability, cyber-security and information assurance, and all communications capabilities to include telephones, radios and support services.
Rent to GSA & Others, FPS and Overtime Utilities: This cost driver funds expenses of real property management and related activities,
including overtime utilities (OTUs) and protection of Federally owned and leased buildings through Federal Protective Services (FPS); restoration
of leased premises; moving governmental agencies (including space adjustments and telecommunications relocation expenses) in connection with
the assignment, allocation, and transfer of space; care and safeguarding of sites; and preliminary planning and design of projects by contract or
otherwise. This ensures all USSS offices have the appropriate office space and associated services to accommodate mission requirements such as
expanded Cyber Fraud Task Force (CFTF) and staffing growth.
Operations and Support Mission Support – PPA
USSS – O&S - 39
Contractual Services: Funding includes the purchase of goods and services from Federal and non-Federal sources. This includes contractor support
staff, leased office equipment and training classes.
Vehicles: The USSS currently maintains a fleet of over 4,600 non-armored law enforcement vehicles primarily for daily use by Special Agents (SA)
and Uniformed Division (UD) officers in conducting their protective and investigative missions. The USSS has moved to leasing vehicles from GSA
rather than purchasing them directly. GSA will provide regular replacements for vehicles that are beyond their normal service life of five years.
Based on usage assumptions and current GSA rates, leasing will result in an estimated savings of 10 percent to 40 percent over the useful life of a
vehicle, depending on the model.
Enterprise Financial Management System: Funding in this cost driver supports critical system enhancements for continuity of financial system
operations, including Travel, Oracle, PRISM, Sunflower (TOPS) system replacement costs, full automation costs for voucher processing fees, and
other decision support systems.
Travel: Funding in this cost driver supports the travel associated costs for USSS protective mission, investigative mission and training.
Permanent Change of Station (PCS): Permanent change of station moves for employees of the Service, administers all aspects concerning
permanent change of duty station, disburses funds for permanent change of station advances, and coordinates and oversees the Service-wide
Relocation Management Program.
Other Costs: Funding in this cost driver supports other costs for Secret Service’s business management operations including training, supplies,
and materials to support the workforce.

PPA Level I Description
The Protective Operations PPA funds the protection of the President and Vice President and their families, former Presidents and their spouses, and
other designated individuals. Protective Operations also provides for the security and protection of the White House Complex (WHC), the Vice
President's Residence, and other designated places. In addition, the program investigates, evaluates, disseminates, and maintains information
concerning known, potential, or perceived threats to protectees and National Special Security Events (NSSE). Protective Operations, staffed by
Special Agents (SA), Uniformed Officers (UD), Technical Law Enforcement (TLE), and Administrative, Professional, and Technical (APT)
personnel, works closely with military and Federal, State, county, local, and international law enforcement organizations.
Major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates, and spouses of eligible candidates are protected within 120 days of general presidential
elections. The Protective Operations program designs, coordinates, and implements operational security plans for designated NSSE. In addition, the
program investigates, evaluates, disseminates, and maintains information concerning known, potential, or perceived threats to protectees and NSSEs
sites and locations. These Secret Service duties are authorized by Title 18 U.S.C. § 3056, which requires Secret Service to provide physical safety
and security to certain persons, designated facilities, and certain major events.
The Protective Operations PPA includes the following Level II PPAs:
Protection of Persons and Facilities: This program executes security operations that prevent, deter, and respond to threats to protectees and
facilities.
Operations and Support Protective Operations – PPA
USSS – O&S - 43
Protective Countermeasures: This program enhances the protection of the President and Vice President at the WHC, the Vice President’s
Residence, and temporary sites from emerging explosive, chemical, biological, radiological, and cyber-threats. This PPA is solely comprised of the
Operational Mission Support Program (OMS).
Protective Intelligence: This program ensures protective intelligence processes, policies, and systems provide quality information and services to
securely and efficiently support the protective mission by investigating subjects (individuals or groups) and activities that pose threats to protectees
and protected events, which includes counter-intelligence.
Presidential Campaigns and National Special Security Events (NSSEs): This program protects major Presidential and Vice Presidential
candidates, and spouses of eligible candidates during the general presidential elections. In addition, this program designs, coordinates, and
implements operational security plans for designated NSSEs, including investigating, evaluating, disseminating, and maintaining threat information
to protectees and NSSEs.

PPA Level II Description
The Protection of Persons and Facilities PPA funds the execution of security operations that prevent, deter, and respond to threats to protectees and
facilities. Secret Service has a statutory mandate to protect the President and Vice President and their families, former Presidents and their spouses,
visiting foreign heads of state, and other designated individuals. Secret Service also secures and protects the White House Complex (WHC), Vice
President's Residence, and foreign diplomatic missions located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, and other designated places. This PPA
funds both Special Agents (SA) assigned to permanent protective details and Uniformed Division (UD) officers that provide protection of facilities.
The Secret Service will continue to provide protective details to the former administration’s eligible protectees through rotations and temporary
assignments.
Within this PPA, Secret Service requests $18.0M in two-year authority for the protective travel program. Secret Service’s protective travel
requirements are dictated by the schedules of the President, Vice President, their families, and other protectees. As a result, requirements can vary
from year to year without any predictable pattern. Two-year authority is necessary for Secret Service to meet legislated protection requirements
despite annual fluctuations in protective travel requirements.

Explanation of Non Pay Cost Drivers
Contractual Services: Funding includes the purchase of goods and services from Federal and non-Federal sources. This includes contractor support
staff, leased equipment, and training classes. Cost driver was increased due to realignment of the post presidential transition funding.
Travel: Travel is a major cost driver for Secret Service’s protective mission as personnel assigned to permanent protective details must accompany
protectees on any domestic or international visit, which includes SAs traveling in advance of the protectee to ensure security of the destination.
Changes in this cost driver reflect a correction to travel as additional costs were included in “Other Costs” in the FY 2022 Budget. FY 2023 costs are
based on protective travel projections.
White House Mail: As part of the protection of the White House Complex, Secret Service must screen all incoming mail to identify and mitigate any
explosive, chemical, biological, radiological threats. There is no change to this cost driver.
Fully Armored Vehicles (FAV): Secret Service utilizes FAVs as an inextricable component of its protective mission, providing safe and reliable
ground transportation to the President, Vice President, and other protectees. O&S funds the maintenance, spare parts, and secure storage of the FAV
fleet. There is no change to this cost driver.
Protective Operations – PPA Protection of Persons and Facilities – PPA II
USSS – O&S - 56
Permanent Change of Station (PCS): Permanent change of station moves for employees of the Service, administers all aspects concerning
permanent change of duty station, disburses funds for permanent change of station advances, and coordinates and oversees the Service-wide
Relocation Management Program.
Other Costs: Funding in this cost driver supports Secret Service’s protective mission, including training, supplies, and materials to support the
workforce. Changes in this cost driver reflect a correction to travel as additional costs were included in “Other Costs” in the FY 2022 Budget.

Budget Activities:
Pursuant to Title 18 U.S.C. 3056(a), the Secret Service provides protection for national-level leaders and their families, such as the President and
Vice President, former Presidents, their spouses, Major Presidential and Vice-Presidential Candidates or Nominees and their spouses, and visiting
heads of state/government. The Secret Service employs teams with specialized training and equipment effectuate this protection. These teams include
the Airspace Security Branch, Counter Sniper Team, Counter Assault Team, Emergency Response Team, Counter Surveillance Division, Hazardous
Agent Mitigation and Medical Emergency Response Team, Explosive Detection Unit, Magnetometer Operations Unit, White House Vehicle
Inspection Team, Critical Systems Protection, and the Uniformed Division Special Operations Section.
Protection of Facilities – The Secret Service provides protection to permanent and temporary facilities occupied by Secret Service protectees or
hosting NSSE related activities. Pursuant to Title 18 U.S.C. 1752(c), the Secret Service is authorized to protect, in part, the following facilities: White
House Complex; any building in which Presidential offices are located (New Executive Office Building, Eisenhower Executive Office Building); the
Treasury Building and grounds; the Vice President’s Residence and grounds; over 540 foreign diplomatic missions located in the Washington, D.C.
metropolitan area; and temporary facilities when our protectees travel. The Secret Service utilizes a combination of fixed posts, foot beats, bicycle
patrols, roving vehicular patrols, and cameras as well as specialized teams and equipment to protect these facilities.
In addition to their normal roles and responsibilities which enhance the protective posture of Secret Service protected sites, the Uniformed Division’s
Special Operations Section is responsible for providing security operations, oversight, and coordination of tours of the White House and special
events.
The Secret Service Uniformed Division is responsible for the protection of the more than 540 foreign diplomatic missions and embassies in the
Washington, D.C. area. The Uniformed Division also handles demonstrations at diplomatic locations, assists in motorcade movements, operates fixed
protective posts, investigates and processes crime scenes, and consults with diplomatic officials regarding security matters related to their embassies,
chanceries, and personnel.
Uniformed Division Officers provide protection by employing foot, bicycle, and marked vehicle patrols as well as magnetometers and portable X-
rays at the White House Complex, Vice President’s Residence, diplomatic missions and embassies, and other permanent or temporary protective sites
that arise during protectee travel or NSSEs.
Uniformed Division Officers are responsible for the deterrence, detection, and prevention of entry into a protective site, of all items that may be
deemed a threat to the safety of protectees or the public. On average, the team processes 2.2 million people per year at temporary protective sites
during protective visits. The number of screenings increases in years that include presidential campaigns.

PPA Level II Description
The Protective Countermeasures PPA funds the protection of the President and Vice President at the White House Complex (WHC), the Vice
President’s Residence, and temporary sites from emerging explosive, chemical, biological, radiological, and cyber-threats. These capabilities include
advanced protective countermeasures designed to address both established and evolving threats, and which must continually be refreshed with
technical updates and/or upgrades. Operational Mission Support (OMS) program is a subset of the Protective Countermeasures PPA.
Within this PPA, Secret Service requests $15.2M in two-year authority for OMS. Secret Service must anticipate and adapt to new and evolving
threats and adversarial technologies while continuing to deploy and maintain existing protective countermeasures. Two-year authority is necessary
for the Secret Service to respond to emerging threats and maintain existing protective countermeasures that malfunction or sustain damage
unexpectedly. A shorter period of availability would negatively impact Secret Service’s ability to assuredly defend the WHC, the Vice President’s
Residence, and temporary sites from existing and emerging threats.

Explanation of Pay Cost Drivers
Technical Law Enforcement: Technical Law Enforcement (TLE) personnel were previously accounted under the Administrative, Professional, and
Technical Support cost driver; however were separated into a new cost driver in FY 2022. This cost driver funds the salaries and benefits of Secret
Service’s TLE employees which include: Technical Security Investigator (TSI), Investigative Protection Officer (IPO), and Protective Armor
Specialist (PAS). Changes to this cost driver in FY 2023 reflect an increase due to pay raises in FY 2022 and FY 2023
Administrative, Professional, and Technical Support: This cost driver funds the salaries and benefits of Secret Service’s administrative,
professional, and technical (APT) support employees who provide a variety of professional business functions and direct mission support
activities. Changes to this cost driver in FY 2023 reflect an increase due to raises from FY 2022 and FY 2023.
Uniformed Division Officers: This cost driver funds the salaries and benefits of Secret Service’s Uniformed Division Officers. Changes to this
cost driver in FY 2023 reflect an increase in costs due to pay raises in FY 2022 and FY 2023.

Explanation of Non Pay Cost Driver
Operational Mission Support: The OMS program supports the protection of the President and Vice President at the WHC, the Vice President’s
Residence, and temporary sites from explosive, chemical, biological, radiological, and cyber-threats. The advanced protective countermeasures that
are part of OMS are designed to address both established and evolving threats. Changes to this cost driver reflect a decrease due to business
management reduction (supplies and equipment), as well as PC&I level lifecycle replacements, which will require less O&S funds in FY 2023.

Training and Equipment: The protective intelligence mission provides identification and investigation of potential risks of unwanted outcome to
protectees and protected sites. This mission requires extensive and continuous training to ensure personnel assigned to this mission are constantly up
to date on emerging threats, threat response methods and attack methods from violent extremists and terrorist groups. Personnel working open source
intelligence operations require new equipment, software, and training to perform their duties as platforms and technologies constantly evolve.
Changes in cost drivers reflect a decrease in funding for protective intelligence capabilities.
Travel: Funding in this cost driver supports the travel associated costs for USSS’s protective mission, investigative mission, and training.
Other Costs: Funding in this cost driver supports other costs for Secret Service’s business management operations including supplies and
materials to support the workforce.
Protective Operations – PPA Protective Intelligence – PPA II
USSS – O&S - 70
Budget Activities:
Critical Protective Analysis Group (CPAG): A cadre of analysts and agents within the Protective Intelligence and Assessment Division (PID)
dedicated to analyzing and presenting on incidents and intelligence pertaining to the planning and execution of attacks. CPAG reviews attacks by
violent extremists and terrorist groups against a variety of targets. CPAG products and briefings address pre-operational surveillance, blending and
disguise, penetrating perimeter security, motorcade attacks, homicide bombers, complex attacks, improvised explosive devices (IEDs),
diversionary/secondary attacks, and more, with an emphasis on the evolution of attack methods. In-person and virtual presentations are offered to
USSS field offices, internal USSS divisions, as well as external law enforcement, private sector, and government partners.
The Protective Threat Management System (PTMS): The Protective Threat Management System manages USSS protective intelligence incidents
and cases. PTMS is a critical component to help the USSS achieve its protective mission by processing, storing, analyzing, and disseminating
protective intelligence information to agents and officers in the field.
The Open Source Intelligence Branch (OSB): Supports protective operations by providing situational awareness based on open source analysis;
furthering investigative leads and supporting protective intelligence case management by conducting open source research; and, assisting with high-
level, large-scale assessments for protected persons, places, and events (specifically National Special Security Events). These mandates are
completed utilizing a combination of Protective Intelligence Research Specialists (PIRSs) and Special Agents, whose disparate backgrounds and
perspectives encourage growth and learning in the unit.
National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC): Housed within the Secret Service, NTAC is charged with conducting operationally relevant and
timely research on threat assessment and the prevention of targeted violence in various contexts (e.g., mass attacks in public spaces, K-12 school
attacks, workplace violence, attacks against government, and attacks against law enforcement). Through the Presidential Threat Protection Act of
2000 (P.L. 160-544), Congress formally authorized NTAC to conduct research on threat assessment and various types of targeted violence; provide
training on threat assessment and violence prevention; facilitate information-sharing among agencies with protective and/or public safety
responsibilities; provide case consultation on individual threat assessment investigations and for organizations building threat assessment units; and
develop programs to promote the standardization of Federal, State, and local threat assessment processes and investigations.
In support of this congressional authorization, in November 2019, NTAC released the report, “Protecting America’s Schools: A U.S. Secret Service
Analysis of Targeted School Violence.” This report represented an in-depth analysis of 41 incidents of targeted violence at K-12 schools from 2008-
2017. With the release, NTAC held four training events in major cities across the country. In August 2020, NTAC also released, “Mass Attacks in
Public Spaces – 2019.” This report was NTAC’s third annual study on incidents of mass violence affecting places of business, houses of worship,
schools, and other public locations were Americans live their daily lives. Given the situation related to COVID-19, with the release of this latest
report, NTAC held a virtual training event attended by approximately 9,600 attendees that included Secret Service personnel, law enforcement,
mental health professionals, school administrators and teachers, corporate security, policy makers, and other public safety representatives.
NTAC’s latest nationwide training effort occurred in March 2021 in conjunction with the release of “Averting Targeted School Violence: A U.S.
Secret Service Analysis of Plots Against Schools.” A virtual training event drew over 10,000 participants from all 50 states and 64 countries. NTAC

experts also offer technical consultative services on threat cases and development of threat assessment programs to support public and private sector
organizations. In FY 2021, NTAC participated in 89 engagements involving consultation on threat assessment programs or threat cases with Secret
Service offices, law enforcement partners, school personnel, and community partners across the United States. NTAC further partners with
communities, with the goal of providing knowledge and resources to enhance community threat assessment and prevention efforts. To achieve this
goal in FY 2021, 135 trainings were provided to multi-disciplinary organizations, including law enforcement agencies, schools, mental health
providers, faith-based organizations, government agencies, and private sector entities. 23,908 attendees from across the country participated in NTAC
trainings events in FY 2021.

PPA Level II Description
The Presidential Campaigns and National Special Security Events PPA provides funding to protect major presidential candidates, nominees, their
families, nominating conventions, presidential and vice-presidential debates, and designated National Special Security Events (NSSEs). Protection of
presidential candidates, nominees, and their spouses is authorized in Title 18 U.S.C. § 3056. The Secret Service leads and manages the planning,
coordination, and implementation of operational security plans at designated NSSEs to ensure the physical protection of the President, the public, and
other Secret Service protectees who participate in NSSEs.
Within this PPA, the Secret Service requests $4.5M in two-year authority for NSSEs. The Secret Service is required to provide protection for NSSEs
as designated by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. As a result, requirements can vary from year to year; even one additional
NSSE can greatly increase requirements. While the Secret Service plans for known future NSSEs, such as the quadrennial nominating conventions,
not all NSSEs can be anticipated early enough to allow for inclusion in the Federal budget process. Two-year authority is necessary for the Secret
Service to meet legislated protection requirements despite annual fluctuations in the number of NSSEs. In addition, the United Nations General
Assembly (UNGA), the Secret Service’s largest standing NSSE in terms of the number of visiting foreign dignitaries occurs annually in the last two
or three weeks in the fiscal year. A shorter period of availability would negatively impact the Secret Service’s ability to adequately budget and
execute resources for other non-pay requirements. Funds would need to be withheld or reprogrammed from other requirements to allow for increases
in NSSE protection costs. Additionally, a shorter period of availability may result in higher lapse rates should NSSE protection costs be less than
what was budgeted.

Budget Activities:
Presidential Campaigns - As authorized in Title 18 U.S.C. § 3056, the Secret Service protects major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates,
and spouses of eligible candidates within 120 days of general presidential elections. In addition, the DHS Secretary, in consultation with a bipartisan
congressional advisory committee, authorizes the activation of a Secret Service protective detail for a Presidential candidate prior to the nominating
conventions. The congressional advisory committee, which is comprised of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Minority Leader of the
House of Representatives, the Majority and Minority Leaders of the Senate, and one additional member selected by the other members of the
committee, establishes objective criteria for major candidate status. A Secret Service protective detail is formally activated when protection for a
particular candidate is authorized by the DHS Secretary, which typically occurs once a candidate requests protection, and meets the criteria for major
candidate status, as set forth by the advisory committee. The DHS Secretary also may authorize protection for one or more candidates at any time, in
consultation with the congressional advisory committee, based upon the threat environment.
Accompanying each candidate are:
• Detail/shift agents who provide 24/7 protection;
• Advance teams and post standers, who provide site security;
• Explosive Ordnance Disposal and other technical support personnel (e.g., counter-surveillance and counter sniper personnel);
• Magnetometer screening capabilities;
• Protective intelligence personnel; and
• Residence security personnel.
Securing the two nominating conventions is one of the most expensive and challenging aspects of campaign protection. These very high-profile
NSSEs will typically have 50,000 or more attendees and last for three to four days. Because the locations and dates are widely publicized in advance
of the events, these conventions are targets for a variety of threats.
National Special Security Events (NSSE): Since 1998, Secret Service has planned, coordinated, and implemented operational security plans for 67
NSSEs, including the 2021 Presidential Inauguration. The designation of NSSEs is somewhat unpredictable – some NSSEs are known years in
advance while others are designated with only weeks or even within a couple of days of notice. In support of NSSE operations, Secret Service
deploys personnel and resources from across the country and coordinates resources from multiple Federal departments, and numerous State and local
law enforcement and public safety jurisdictions. The President’s State of the Union Address and UNGA are typically designated an NSSE each year
as are quadrennial campaign-related NSSEs, such as the party nominating conventions and Presidential Inaugurations. Untimely events such as a
Former President’s funeral is pre-designated an NSSE and requires the Secret Service to execute plans in three days.
The annual meetings of the UNGA in New York City are one of the most significant NSSE events, requiring the Agency to provide simultaneous
protection of heads of state or government, as well as the President, Vice President, and other Secret Service protectees that may be in attendance.

PPA Level I Description
The Secret Service carries out a unique, integrated mission of protection and investigations. The Field Operations program complements and supports
protection while carrying out legislated financial system enforcement. The Secret Service was originally established in 1865 to investigate and
prevent counterfeiting of United States currency. Throughout the Agency’s history and development, the investigative mission has evolved along
with it from enforcing counterfeiting laws to safeguarding the payment and financial systems of the United States from a wide range of complex
financial and computer-based crimes.
The Secret Service’s Office of Investigations (INV) leads Secret Service field operations through its global network of field offices, task forces, and
partnerships. These entities work collaboratively to detect and arrest those that engage in crimes that undermine the integrity of U.S. financial and
payment systems. INV does this while fully supporting U.S. Secret Service protection responsibilities and developing its mission partners.
The Secret Service’s network of Cyber Fraud Task Forces (CFTFs) exemplifies the investigative approach of the Secret Service. The CFTFs unites
law enforcement, government agencies, and private partners to focus on investigating cyber financial crimes, including emerging trends like the
growing illicit use of digital money and ransomware. These task forces are comprised of USSS special agents, technical experts, forensic analysts,
and law enforcement officers trained through the Secret Service National Computer Forensic Institute (NCFI).
The NCFI develops Secret Service partners and law enforcement officials on techniques used for investigating cybercrime and process digital
evidence, while strengthening the close relationships with local agencies who are often called on to support both the investigative and protective
mission of the Secret Service. Additionally, the Secret Service’s Forensic Services Division partners closely with the National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children (NCMEC) to provide forensic expert support to assist with cases involving endangered minors.
Operations and Support Field Operations – PPA
USSS – O&S - 81
The Field Operations PPA includes the following Level II PPAs:
Domestic and International Field Operations: Through field offices and in coordination with partners (public and private, domestic and
international, law enforcement and civilian), Secret Service detects and arrests those that engage in access device fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1029); theft (18
U.S.C. § 1028); computer fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1030); bank fraud/mortgage fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1344); violations of U.S. laws relating to coins,
obligations, and securities of the United States and of foreign governments, and other criminal violations specified in 18 U.S.C. § 3056.
Support for Missing and Exploited Children Investigations: The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (P.L. 103-322)
directed Secret Service to participate in a government-wide Task Force to support the NCMEC. Subsequently, the PROTECT Act of 2003 amended
18 U.S.C. § 3056, authorizing Secret Service to “provide forensic and investigative assistance in support of any investigation involving missing or
exploited children.”
Support for Computer Forensics Training: This PPA funds the NCFI. Pursuant to 6 U.S.C. § 383, the Secret Service operates the NCFI to
disseminate information related to the investigation and prevention of cyber and electronic crime and related threats, and educate, train, and equip
law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and judges.

PPA Level II Description
The Domestic and International Field Operations PPA supports Secret Service operations at offices both within the United States and abroad.
Offices conduct investigations to detect, identify, locate, and apprehend transnational criminal organizations and individuals targeting financial
infrastructure and payment systems. Field offices host and lead Cyber Fraud Task Forces (CFTFs) to bring together law enforcement, with public
and private partners, in their districts for the purpose of preventing, detecting, and investigating various forms of cyber crimes, including potential
terrorist attacks against critical infrastructure and financial payment systems. In addition, field offices provide critical capacity for protecting and
investigating threats to the persons, locations, and events protected by the Secret Service. Special agents in field offices supporting traveling
protective details, provide advance security work, and support protection of NSSEs. Newly hired special agents are assigned to field office to
develop their knowledge, skills, abilities, and experience to prepare them for future assignments.
Within this PPA, Secret Service requests $1.7M in two-year authority for International Cooperative Administrative Support Services for
international field operations. Two-year funding is necessary for the Secret Service to ensure USSS has the flexibility to maintain continuity of
foreign service operations and relations without interruption as USSS is called on to conduct investigations on transnational criminal organizations

Non-pay cost drivers were reclassified in FY 2023 to streamline cost drivers across PPAs
Explanation of Non Pay Cost Drivers
Travel: Secret Service Special Agents, and other personnel, assigned to field offices travel extensively to support both the investigative and
protective missions. Investigative travel often takes special agents across the country or to locations abroad, with short notice, due to the global
nature of transnational criminal organizations. Special Agents often need to travel to meet with other law enforcement organizations to investigate
leads and testify at trials. Special Agents possess specialized case knowledge and expertise, making it critical for them to travel for proper
investigation. Special Agents in field offices support the protective mission by joining protective details or providing advance support for protectees
traveling into their home region. Supporting protective operations often requires travel away from the field office.
International Cooperative Administrative Support Services (ICASS): USSS and Department of State share cost associated with International
Cooperative Administrative Support Services (ICASS) for motor pool operations, vehicle maintenance, travel services, reproduction services, mail
and messenger services, information management, reception and telephone system services, purchasing and contracting, human resources services,
cashiering, vouchering, accounting, budget preparation, residential and non-residential security guard services, and building operations. There is no
change in this cost driver.
Counterfeit Currency Processing Facility (CCPF): Funding in this cost driver supports a centralized location for all counterfeit currency
processing for operational effectiveness to safeguard the integrity of U.S. currency. There is no change in this cost driver.
Permanent Change of Station (PCS): Permanent change of station moves for employees of the Service, administers all aspects concerning
permanent change of duty station, disburses funds for permanent change of station advances, and coordinates and oversees the Service-wide
Relocation Management Program. Increase in this cost driver is due to increased costs in moves for investigative personnel.
Field Operations – PPA Domestic and International Field Operations – PPA II
USSS – O&S - 93
Other Costs: Funding in this cost driver supports Secret Service operations at field offices both within and outside the United States. Investigating
and countering emerging cyber criminal activity involves costs for technology, services, and training to keep pace with latest criminal methods and
ensure the timely detection and investigation of cyber criminal activity. This includes providing appropriate work-space, technology, and Internet
connectivity in field offices for cyber fraud task forces to operate as a global network in the investigation of transnational organized cyber crime.
Increases in this cost driver are due to growth in human capital.
Budget Activities:
Investigative Operations: Pursuant to law, including 18 U.S.C. § 3056(b), Secret Service detects and arrests those engaged in crimes relating to
counterfeiting of obligations and securities of the United States, and cyber financial crimes that include, but are not limited to, financial institution
fraud, identity theft, access device fraud, computer fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. Secret Service investigations directly support the DHS
strategic objectives to safeguard financial systems and counter transnational organized crime. The Secret Service leads a global network of cyber
fraud task forces for the purpose of preventing, detecting, and investigating various forms of cyber crimes, including potential terrorist attacks against
critical infrastructure and financial payment systems. Secret Service proactively conducts investigations to detect and prevent crime, through use of
advanced technologies, leveraging task force partners, and providing recommendations for industry safeguards.
Protective Operations: Field offices perform an essential role in supporting variable protective requirements, based on protectee travel, threat
activity, and location of special security events. Secret Service field offices develop and maintain relationships with the local, State, and Federal law
enforcement agencies, and other partners, in their district, and perform a critical role in securing protectees when they travel by facilitating the
advance work done prior to the visit of any Secret Service protectee and provide the staffing to secure each protected site.

PPA Level II Description
The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (P.L 103-322) directed Secret Service to participate in a government-wide Task Force
to support the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). Subsequently, the PROTECT Act of 2003 amended 18 U.S.C. § 3056,
authorizing Secret Service to “provide forensic and investigative assistance in support of any investigation involving missing or exploited children.”
The Support for Missing and Exploited Children Investigations PPA funds a grant for activities related to investigations and forensic support for
cases involving missing and exploited children. From FY 2007 to FY 2021, Secret Service has provided a $6.0M grant to the NCMEC. Forensic
support includes polygraph examinations, handwriting examinations, voiceprint comparisons, audio and video enhancements, age
progressions/regressions, and fingerprint research and identification. Secret Service currently provides investigative assistance and a liaison to
NCMEC headquarters staff by facilitating services available through Secret Service Forensic Services Division (FSD).
NCMEC engages in community outreach through:
• Operation Safe Kids - This program promotes the safety of children by providing parents with a document containing biographical data, a
current photograph and digitized, and inkless fingerprints. The USSS FSD established the “Operation Safe Kids” initiative as a means of
bringing safety awareness to the public. In the event a child who participates in this initiative is ever reported as missing, lost or abducted,
his/her fingerprints can be retrieved from the parents. FSD does not keep any record of the children's fingerprints/photographs. The
fingerprint card is given to the parent for safe keeping. FSD maintains portable Live Scan units that are specifically utilized to fingerprint
children in support of the Operation Safe Kids program.
• Ambassador Program -This program dispatches NCMEC trained USSS employees to local school districts to provide educational
presentations on internet safety.

Explanation of Non Pay Cost Driver
Training & Equipment: NCFI provides law enforcement officers and legal and judicial professionals with a comprehensive education on current
cyber-crime trends, investigative methods, and prosecutorial challenges. To execute this mission, the NCFI requires specialized equipment and
supplies to replicate the technologies trainees will encounter in the field. Additionally, NCFI provides equipment for investigators that would not
otherwise have the tools and technology to investigate cyber-criminals. Reduction to this cost driver is due to the adjusted projections for number of
students to be trained.
Travel: Funding in this cost driver supports the travel associated costs for USSS protective mission, investigative mission and training. There is no
change in this cost driver.

PPA Description
The Basic and In-Service Training and Professional Development PPA funds basic recruit training programs for Uniformed Division (UD) officers,
Special Agents (SA), and in-service training for SAs, UD, SA investigators, and Administrative, Professional and Technical (APT) personnel.
Further, this PPA funds training program equipment, vehicles, and supplies to support operational readiness; and provides for the maintenance and
sustainment of Secret Service training facilities.
Within this PPA, Secret Service requests $12.9M in two-year authority for maintenance of the James J. Rowley Training Center (JJRTC/RTC).
Maintenance requirements for RTC buildings and infrastructure are often unpredictable – such as major system breakdowns or weather damage.
Two-year authority for RTC maintenance is necessary to ensure availability of funds to address emergency maintenance and repair requirements that
fluctuate year to year. A shorter period of availability would negatively impact Secret Service’s ability to provide safe and reliable facilities for
students and staff at RTC.

managing and delivering training all USSS personnel, including basic, proficiency, progressive/advanced, and leadership training. There is no change
in this cost driver.

operational requirements. There is no change in this cost driver.

infrastructure fosters a quality training environment for new recruits, current employees, and for collaborative training with our Federal, State, and
local law enforcement partners.
The curriculum provided by RTC instructors is for newly hired SAs, UD, special officers, physical security specialists, and protective support
technicians. Training includes investigative and protective methodologies, firearms marksmanship, control tactics, emergency vehicle operation,
emergency medicine, physical fitness techniques, financial and cyber-crime detection, investigation, physical/site/event protection, and water
survival training. As Secret Service personnel progress through their career, RTC provides specialized and advanced in-service training in a range of
areas, including specialized operational and protective tactics, financial crime, cyber-based investigations, and employee and managerial
development. During FY 2021, RTC trained new SA and UD recruits, continued offering in-service training opportunities to our operational units as
permitted by the operational tempo of our protective mission, and enhanced and expanded career development curriculum and course availability.

• Fully Armored Vehicles (FAVs): Secret Service will continue to armor protective vehicles to ensure the safety of the President, Vice President,
and their families; visiting foreign dignitaries; major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates; and various other high visibility protectees, as
statutorily mandated. Camp David Limousines (CDLs) have enhanced armoring and capabilities than standard FAVs. Each vehicle requires
communications equipment, emergency lights, and other protective equipment. The current FAV fleet includes pre-2008 production model
vehicles. As the fleet ages, maintenance costs continue to increase along with scarcity of repair parts. Vehicle break downs with protectees on
board have occurred, resulting in unacceptable risks. Recurring recapitalization of its FAV Fleet is imperative for Secret Service to execute
protection operations.
Protection Assets and Infrastructure – PPA Protection Assets and Infrastructure End Items
USSS – PC&I - 16
The Secret Service is in the process of replacing its entire fleet of FAVs. The Secret Service finalized purchasing 532 base platforms in FY 2019
and is armoring them gradually in order to provide secure ground transportation to all protectees. The Secret Service has identified an overall
need for 532 FAVs, including 471 standard FAVs and 61 CDLs. Once the FAV fleet is fully refreshed, vehicles will be replaced and armored on
a rolling five-year lifecycle to maintain fleet readiness. FY 2023 PC&I funding will complete the armoring of the last 25 Standard FAVs and 10
CDLs; as well as the purchase of 31 Gen2 FAVs, which will be the next generation heavy duty sport utility vehicle (SUV) to be used as the new
base FAV platform. Additional funding for the FAV program is provided in Secret Service’s Operations and Support (O&S) budget for program
management and sustainment.

Construction Description
This investment funds improvements of existing owned or leased facilities and real property, and the construction of new facilities and projects
under the control of the Secret Service.
Justification
The FY 2023 Budget includes $9.9M to support the following projects:
Project #1: White House Complex Fence
Funding Requirement: The FY 2023 Budget does not include funding for this project.
Description: Per the “Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2021” (P.L. 116-260), $1.0M was enacted for the preliminary
construction design for replacing and extending the White House fence around the Treasury and EEOB.
Justification: An improved fence around the EEOB and the Treasury building will impede individuals attempting to jump the fence and gain entry to
the White House Complex. In addition, the improved fence will provide a level of resistance against explosive devices used for breaching. The
requirements of the proposed fence must be integrated with the concept of operations for providing physical protection at the EEOB and the Treasury
building to ensure that it fully addresses the existing capability gaps. The FY 2021 funds resourced the conceptual design work to meet Phase II
performance requirements.
Impact: This program supports ongoing operational mission essential protection capabilities. Funding ensured operationally critical construction
design does not prematurely fail prior to planned lifecycle replacements.
Construction / Lease Award Schedule: An architectural/engineering (A/E) firm will be contracted to design the phase II fences with input from the
General Services Administration (GSA), National Park Service (NPS), Treasury Department [All owners of new phase II fences] along with the
Commission of Fine Arts (CFA), National Capitol Planning Commission (NCPC) and the Washington DC State Historic Preservation Office
Construction and Facility Improvements – PPA Construction and Facility Improvements End Items
USSS – PC&I - 30
(DCSHPO) [All approvers of the new fence] and will guide the design through the National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 compliance
process. The design phase will end once the design is complete and approved. Construction is TBD and will begin after the design is complete,
funding for construction has been appropriated and access to construct the fences has been granted by the Executive Office of the President staff.

Project #2: Blast and Ballistic Mitigation Program
Funding Requirement: The FY 2023 Budget includes $9.9M to support the improvement of explosive blast and ballistic resilience of windows, doors
and other structural building components.
Description: The objective of this program is to design, manufacture, install and sustain critical building components (windows, doors, walls and
roof) to harden building openings in order to improve the safety of USSS protectees.
Justification: The Blast and Ballistic Mitigation Program aligns with strategic goals to protect our Nation's leaders, visiting world leaders, and other
protectees, as well as reduce threats posed by global terrorist and other adversaries. Protective facilities are in need of upgrades to improve the
explosive blast and ballistic resilience of the windows, doors and other structural building components which provide physical protection to POTUS,
VPOTUS, visiting dignitaries, and other occupants.
Impact: Blast and Ballistic Mitigation Program performance is directly dependent upon the availability of funds, negotiated access to the work
locations with interagency support agreements, and the priority of individual corrective repairs based on the changing conditions of the aging
systems.

R&D Description
This program supports the continuation of Research and Development (R&D) work on the Gen2 Fully Armored Vehicle (FAV), which is necessary
to ensure that the timeline for development of the new vehicle can be completed as soon as possible, thus maintaining the program’s vehicle refresh
cycle. This cycle allows for the uninterrupted future replacement of vehicles as they reach the end of their five-year lifecycle and will enable Secret
Service to maintain an operationally ready fleet to meet the agency’s protective mission.
In FY 2020, the Secret Service partnered with the Department of State to develop the next generation heavy duty sport utility vehicle (SUV) to be
used as the new base FAV platform in time for FY 2024 lifecycle replacement. Due to developmental cost sharing between the Secret Service and
Department of State, no additional R&D funding is required in FY 2023.
• Problem: In 2019, General Motors (GM) ceased production of the standard FAV base platform (3500 Series Suburban), which was the only
platform that met the protective and transportation needs for Secret Service’s passenger FAV fleet. The development of a new vehicle that meets
the Agency’s requirements is necessary in order to ensure the continuation of the FAV program.
• Solution: Secret Service is working with industry and, as appropriate, other government agencies to develop a new base platform for standard
FAVs that will meet the protective and transportation requirements. Department of State will execute the R&D contract for both the Department
of State and the Secret Service.
• Justification: The FY 2023 President’s Budget provides $0.0M in R&D for this project, no change from the FY 2022 President’s Budget, due to
the developmental cost sharing with the Department of State. The capabilities incorporated into these vehicles represent an integral component of
the overall Secret Service protective requirements and methodology. Based on historical data and market research, R&D efforts began in FY
2020. The program is on its planned trajectory to have a replacement vehicle ready for acquisition in FY 2023 requiring $6.3M in Procurement,
Construction, and Improvement funding, which is the same time that vehicles currently being deployed reach the end of their useful life. Secret
Service will continue working with government partners to provide a solution beneficial to multiple agencies.
Research and Development Gen2 Fully Armored Vehicle (FAV) Program
USSS – R&D - 10
• Impact: FAV base platforms delivered in FY 2019 continue to be armored and deployed to the field. These FAVs have a five-year refresh cycle.
Development of a new base platform prototype is expected to be completed to deploy Gen2 FAVs as the current fleet starts to require refresh in
FY 2024. Without the development of a new vehicle, Secret Service will lack protection vehicles in the future with which to replace its
operational FAV fleet.
Type of Research
Developmental
Technology Readiness Level
FAV Gen2 is a derivative of a commercially available platform. The R&D effort will design a heavy-duty chassis around commercially available
bodies to develop a fully armored system prototype and test it in an operational environment achieving TRL-7 upon transition.
Transition Plans
Upon successful completion of the R&D project, Secret Service will initiate the lifecycle replacement and delivery for the new vehicles. The first
generation of FAVs based on the 3500 platform will start reaching the end of their effective lifecycle in FY 2024. It is anticipated the program will be
in receipt of the initial Gen2 vehicles and successfully transition the R&D effort in FY 2024 Q4.

R&D Description
The Research and Development (R&D) Protective Systems and Weapons Testing Program (PSWT) enables the Secret Service to continue to refresh,
update, and upgrade technical countermeasures in order to ensure a safe environment and provide enhanced security coverage for the President, Vice
President, and other Secret Service protectees without a significant degradation in performance. This includes providing security for protectees at the
White House Complex (WHC), the Vice President’s Residence (VPR), and temporary sites, from emerging and evolving explosive, chemical,
biological, radiological, and cyber threats.
• Problem: Secret Service must maintain state-of-the-art weapons and protective systems to combat new, evolving, and emerging adversarial
technologies.
• Solution: Protective Systems and Weapons Testing Program provides for the development, design, testing, and evaluation of new technologies to
ensure Secret Service has needed capabilities to respond to an evolving threat environment.
• Justification: The FY 2023 President’s Budget provides $3.8M, a $1.7M increase from the FY 2022 President’s Budget, for Protective Systems
and Weapons Testing (PSWT), which is part of Secret Service’s Operational Mission Support (OMS) program. The OMS program supports the
protection of the President, the Vice President, and other Secret Service protectees. The PSWT Program provides for the policy directed research,
development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) needs of the Secret Service in order to assess, plan, and prepare for future adjustments within and/or
between the OMS activities. FY 2023 funding will enable the Secret Service to substantially enhance and adapt to emerging threats and
technology changes to assuredly defend the safety of the President and Vice President from plausible, credible threats. Specifically, this funding
supports solicitation, testing, and contract award to assess the effectiveness of both weapons and defensive countermeasures, to include methods
and technologies that are unique to the Secret Service mission space. Additional details are available in a classified format.
Research and Development Protective Systems and Weapons Testing Program
USSS – R&D - 12
• Impact: The development, design, testing, and evaluation activities will inform the procurement and deployment process for new weapons and
protective systems that enhance Secret Service’s protective capabilities. These efforts ensure that Secret Service continues its extremely effective
protection of the President, Vice President, other protectees, and protected sites from emerging explosive, chemical, biological, radiological, and
cyber threats.

R&D Description
The Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) R&D project funds the development of technologies and techniques in support of Secret
Service’s cyber investigations and protective operations. Secret Service plans to develop computer forensic gap area tools, investigative support for
complex cyber investigations, research and development for unique cyber related issues and training.
• Problem: Cyber criminals continue to use evolving technologies, making existing investigative methods obsolete. The Secret Service must keep
pace with the rate of technological change adopted by criminal enterprises. Without the CERT program, the USSS will not be able to identify,
prepare, and respond to emerging cyber threats, opening a door for criminal activity and increased vulnerabilities.
• Solution: The CERT program allows the Secret Service to continue to leverage the Carnegie Mellon University-Software Engineering Institute
(CMU-SEI) to develop technologies and techniques to enhance the Secret Service’s protective operations.
• Justification: The FY 2023 President’s Budget provides $0.3M for this project, no change from the FY 2022 President’s Budget. The Secret
Service’s CERT liaison program is conducted with the Carnegie Mellon University-Software Engineering Institute (CMU-SEI), a Federally
Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC), which allows the U.S. Government to realize significant cost savings by leveraging
participating agencies’ resources to accomplish shared objectives. The CERT liaison program represents the Secret Service’s long-standing
commitment to develop mission-critical systems, cyber investigative applications, malware analysis, and applications that identify, assess, and
mitigate threats to the Nation’s financial system, critical infrastructure, and persons and facilities protected by the Secret Service.
• Impact: CERT will continue to support the Electronic Crimes Special Agent Program (ECSAP) as well as the Network Intrusion Program
(NITRO) with cyber-threats, cyber intrusions, software and research on the latest technology to make sure that the Department of Homeland
Security will continue to be at the forefront of cybercrime fighting technologies. Examples include researching critical system vulnerabilities,
cybersecurity concerns at hospitals, vulnerabilities of medical devices with remote capability, writing software and scripts for USSS cyber agents
and the continuing research of the best practices for forensic analysis on the continuing evolution of the “Internet of Things” (IoT) devices.

Per Title V, Chapter 7, Section 5-703, of the District of Columbia (D.C.) Code, “whenever any member of the Secret Service Division performed
duties other than clerical for 10 years or more directly related to the protection of the President,” and was hired prior to 1984, the employee is eligible
to retire through the D.C. Police and Fireman’s Retirement and Disability Relief Fund. In 1930, this retirement system was provided to White House
Police officers (see P.L. 71-221) when they transferred from the D.C. Metropolitan Police Force to the Secret Service.
In 1940, with the passage of P.L. 76-847, this retirement system was extended to all Secret Service employees who qualified. To reimburse the D.C.
retirement fund, a permanent, indefinite appropriation was enacted. The Secret Service uses this appropriation to reimburse the District of Columbia
for benefit payments made in excess of the sum of salary deductions made from the employee’s pay and forwarded to the D.C. retirement fund.
Employees covered by this Title include Uniformed Division Officers, Special Agents, Physical Security Specialists, Protective Support Technicians,
Special Officers, and Operation Support Technicians. This is a closed program, and new annuitants can only be accepted under specific
circumstances with the approval of the USSS Director.
