How The Secret Service Actually Works | Authorized Account | Insider

Kenneth Valentine served as a special agent in the US Secret Service for 24 years. He protected three sitting presidents: Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama.

Valentine gives insight into what failures played out during the assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump and offers his thoughts on the future of the US Secret Service.

He also covers surveillance tactics, training, weapons, and US election protocols. He talks about the night of 9/11 when he was left alone to defend the White House after the president evacuated. He recounts the odder parts of an agent's job, like carrying Uzis in briefcases and avoiding fish thrown by protesters.

Today, he's a published author, leadership expert, and public speaker.
