The U.S. Secret Service has recently highlighted its recruitment initiatives, operational achievements, and collaboration with the U.S. Marine Corps through a series of posts on its official Twitter account.
On January 6, 2026, the agency shared a story about its hiring process: "Great @washingtonpost story on our agency's efforts to attract the most qualified applicants and get them on the job faster. By bringing key steps together in one place, we are giving qualified candidates a clearer and faster path to serve." The post referenced ongoing efforts to streamline application procedures for potential agents.
The following day, January 7, 2026, the Secret Service reported results from its financial crime prevention activities in 2025: "This is what disrupting financial crime looks like! In 2025, the Secret Service and our partners removed 411 illegal skimming devices, inspected nearly 60,000 terminals and kept more than $428 million out of the hands of criminals." The agency emphasized its role in protecting consumers and businesses from fraud schemes involving payment card data theft.
Later that same day, another post described an official visit at Secret Service Headquarters: "Today Director Curran welcomed @USMCSgtMaj Carlos A. Ruiz to US Secret service Headquarters. They discussed opportunities for Marines to continue their service after @USMC."
Founded in 1865 primarily to combat currency counterfeiting, the U.S. Secret Service today also provides protection for national leaders and investigates a wide range of financial crimes including credit card fraud and cybercrime.
