Acting US Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe announced on Tuesday that the agency has taken significant steps to enhance security measures following recent security lapses. The new procedures aim to prevent similar incidents in the future and ensure the safety of high-profile events.
Rowe emphasized the importance of thoroughly vetting security plans for event sites. He stated that every security plan will now be reviewed by multiple experienced supervisors before implementation to identify and address any potential vulnerabilities.
Recognizing the need for additional protective measures, Rowe highlighted the expanded use of unmanned aerial systems (drones) at protective sites. These drones will be utilized to detect threats on roofs and other elevated areas, enhancing the agency's ability to identify and respond to potential security risks.
The implementation of these new procedures reflects the Secret Service's commitment to continuously improving its security protocols and ensuring the effectiveness of its protective measures. By leveraging advanced technologies such as drones and implementing rigorous vetting processes for security plans, the agency aims to bolster its capabilities in safeguarding high-profile events and protecting the individuals under its watch.
