The U.S. Secret Service has recently shared updates on recruitment, technology advancements, and training initiatives through a series of posts on its official X account. The agency announced job openings for statisticians, introduced new forensic technology in Atlanta, and marked the installation of a decommissioned Marine One helicopter for training purposes.
On January 14, 2026, the Secret Service highlighted career opportunities within the organization: "Turn data into decisions that shape our workforce! We are hiring two DC-based Statisticians to build and evaluate recruitment models, improve hiring efficiency and communicate insights that drive results. These positions close Jan. 27, so act fast! Find out more and apply at".
Later the same day, the agency described recent technological improvements at one of its field offices: "When agents arrive at a crime scene, time matters. The Atlanta Field Office is now using a new mobile forensic truck that lets investigators analyze digital devices on site, helping move investigations forward faster and safer."
On January 15, 2026, the Secret Service detailed a ribbon-cutting event for new training equipment: "Secret Service Assistant Director, Office of Training, Miltom D. Wilson; Marine Colonel Erica Mantz; and Marine Colonel Ryan Shadle, cut the ribbon during a ceremony formally installing a decommissioned Marine One helicopter to use for protective training."
The Secret Service regularly recruits professionals with specialized skills to support its mission of protecting national leaders and investigating financial crimes. The introduction of mobile forensic trucks is part of broader efforts by law enforcement agencies nationwide to address increasingly sophisticated digital evidence at crime scenes. Decommissioned military equipment like helicopters has been used in federal law enforcement training programs to simulate real-world protective scenarios.
