The '''United States Secret Service''' was set up by the [[Treasury Department]] in 1865, as an investigative agency working financial crimes. But after the assassination of [[United states presidents|President]] [[William McKinley]] in 1901, the Secret Service was brought in to function, in effect, as the presidents official body guard. Now under the umbrella of the [[Department of Homeland Security]], the ranks of the Secret Service include thousands of uniformed and under cover agents, all tasked with keeping the president secure from outside threats.
