What New Secret Service Recruits Go Through At Boot Camp

48

We got an inside look at the United States Secret Service’s intense, six-month basic training program. Senior video correspondent Graham Flanagan spent three days inside the James J. Rowley Training Center in Laurel, Maryland, where he observed recruits at various stages of training.

According to the Secret Service, about one in every 100 applicants makes it through the agency’s intense vetting process to become a recruit. The base salary for new agents and officers is $47,000 per year.

After spending three months at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in either Artesia, New Mexico or Glynco, Georgia, recruits return to Laurel for three more months of Secret Service-specific training.

Although we were allowed to film inside the academy, much of the training remained secret. According to the training center’s deputy chief, Michael Buck, this was intended to avoid “giving people specifics into our protective methodologies … we don’t advertise our playbook.”

UPDATE: In the video, we identify a car as a Dodge Challenger, when what is seen on screen is a Dodge Charger. We regret the error.

  1. non-political…except for the part where you tried to help the orange clown overturn the election. All those text messages your agents lost from Jan 6..i wonder what was in them?

  2. Business insider it seems like you know a lot about this, without revealing anything directly, I read that CIA agents train in krav maga and the system (because they can take down more opponents) but are there perhaps other martial arts?

  3. So basically the “training and combat” that they go through without the big physique is the weaker training and combat version that I did when I was training in Shotokan Karate before I earned my black belt a few years ago……

  4. Protecting the office regardless of who is president, I call BS just look at the behaviour of some agents during the trump administration. Or those yahoo agents who were drinking ect on an advance recon.
