Secret Service agent
Executive protection officer
A Secret Service agent is a federal law enforcement officer in the United States Secret Service, the agency responsible for protecting the president, vice president, and other high-ranking officials, as well as investigating financial crimes like counterfeiting.
The term evokes the image of suited figures in sunglasses flanking dignitaries: Secret Service agents surrounded the motorcade.
Despite the name, their protective role is highly visible.
