The primary challenge centers on the highly publicized nature of Trump's visit. Both opponents and supporters of the former president know that he will be at Trump Tower and then at the Manhattan courthouse. Trump is an undeniably divisive figure, evoking both emotive support and hostility. The NYPD and Secret Service will thus anticipate supporting and opposing protesters in the city.
This protective effort will entail significant resources. Agents from the Secret Service's Dignitary Protective Division and New York Field Office will be drafted in to secure"posts" or locations around Trump. One advantage here is that many New York-based agents are recently and highly experienced with protective missions, being as they are often tasked with protecting foreign leaders as they visit the United Nations.NYPD officers will secure the crowd.
Still, the challenge of protecting a former rather than current president is that some resources are not available for former presidents. As with the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service, the Secret Service already carries a very heavy protective workload. But Trump does not have access to the Marine Corps' One helicopter squadron, for example.
The Secret Service's primary concern over the coming days will be to limit Trump's visibility to the public and thus also to potential assailants. But the stress factor on this trip will be unusually high.
It's time too prove everybody's in Washington DC and in powers with general David h berger of the Marines time too prove they are all guilties in front of all American people's right now they are all being called out now yes they are all guilties
Why do I have to pay taxes to protect criminals? We need to review our federal laws. In cases like this one, he should pay for his own security and lose his pensions. How will the Secret service agents handle his conviction and prison times? We need to fix those loopholes.
Many of us are concerned for the safety and well-being of our 45th President of the United States. They took down John F. Kennedy, and then a few years later his brother Bobby was assasinated. The U.S. government should NOT be trusted.
