Standing Post is the official podcast of the United States Secret Service! In this series, we interview active and former employees about their roles and responsibilities and hear inside information about the people and programs that make up the United States Secret Service. The Secret Service was established July 5, 1865, solely to suppress the counterfeiting of U.S. currency during the Civil War. Today, the Secret Service's mission has expanded beyond the scope of counterfeit currency and is mandated by Congress to carry out the integrated missions of protection and investigations. Hosted by Abel Trevino, Standing Post takes you on a journey to learn about the the people in the agency, their lives and the interesting and unique occupations that can only be found in this elite law enforcement agency.
