The Secret Service released a report identifying trends and warning signs from 27 mass attacks that took place across the United States in 2018.

The U.S. Secret Service will build a new 13-foot fence to surround the White House, nearly doubling the height of the current fence to help keep intruders out.

There were 23 mass attacks on US soil last year that resulted in 147 deaths, nearly 700 injuries, says a new Secret Service report.

Joseph P. Clancy, the director of the Secret Service, is retiring after 29 years at the agency.

Steel spikes may be added to the iron fencing surrounding the White House grounds in Washington as a deterrent to intruders hopping the barrier.

A total of 40 people have illegally crossed into restricted areas outside the White House in fiscal years 2009 through 2014.

The Secret Service has named Joseph Clancy, director of corporate security at Comcast, as acting interim director.

Money is big business in Peru – over the past two years, Peru has overtaken Colombia as the top source of counterfeit U.S. dollars, according to the U.S. Secret Service. In response the service has opened a permanent office in Lima last year (only the fourth such office in Latin America), and has since helped Peru arrest 50 people on counterfeiting charges, CBS News reports.

Pierson has more than 30 years of experience with the Secret Service, and she takes over from Mark Sullivan, who announced his retirement last month.
