If anyone knows me, Iāve always had a passion to help others, at any means necessary. For me, Law is a way for me to do so. When making the decision to pursue a degree in Law & Paralegal Studies I have always put myself in scenarios where I can set myself up for success and what this means is that Iāve given myself time to figure out the types of stuff I would love to do. Nevertheless, I have decided that one of the few things I can see myself using my degree to work in, would be the Secret Service. The āSecret Serviceā jurisdiction covers the entire United States. They have the ability to investigate anything that threatens the well being of its protectees, or financial crimes; generally, you can say their jurisdiction can expand whenever necessary and granted by the President, or homeland security which it currently resides under. The link to the secret service website is https://www.secretservice.gov/
The āSecret Serviceā does have law divisions, though, not necessarily something Iād be as keen to working it which may seen in a way counterintuitive. My goal is to use my Law degree to get in the agency and join the enforcement division. Iāve always wanted to work in a position like this because I always found myself getting excited hearing stories from my eldest brother whoās a veteran in the Navy, and my current brother who serves. That, on top of movies and years of research; I can say itās something Iād be genuinely happy doing.
The Secret Service has many field offices, but really, the main and most popular one resides in Washington D.C (245 Murray Lane
Washington, DC 20223),Ā in close contact with the President and his administration on standby by and assess with anything that threatens the administration, or the countries well being.
Thanks Tevin, this is a great way to carry on your family tradition of government service!
