The U.S. Secret Service recently highlighted its operational activities and training protocols through a series of social media posts. The tweets, authored by the agency’s official account between January 22 and January 24, 2026, focused on protective efforts during President Trump’s trip to Davos and specialized training for personnel.
On January 22, Sean M. Curran, Director of the U.S. Secret Service, commended both his team and external partners for their roles in a recent presidential visit: "Great work by our team and partners on President Trump's trip to Davos. We were excited to build upon our long-lasting relationship with General Motors as we introduced these vehicles to our protective fleet." This message underscores the agency's ongoing collaboration with General Motors in updating its fleet used for high-level protection assignments.
Training practices were detailed further in a tweet posted on January 23: "Secret Service personnel are trained for every possible scenario. Learning to don a gas mask under exposure from chemical and airborne threats prepares them for real-world situations." The following day, the agency expanded on this point by sharing more about the nature of these exercises: "Get comfortable being uncomfortable! Gas mask training puts officers and agents face to face with chemical exposure in a controlled setting so they are ready to act when conditions turn hostile."
The Secret Service is responsible for protecting current and former national leaders, visiting heads of state, and major events involving government officials. Its preparation includes rigorous scenario-based drills designed to address chemical or airborne threats as part of its standard protocol.
The introduction of new vehicles from General Motors aligns with the agency's regular practice of updating equipment used in protective details—a process that involves close cooperation with automotive manufacturers to ensure security requirements are met.
