4. Advanced Recon
The Secret Service employs advanced reconnaissance techniques to ensure the safety of the President during events with large crowds. Every detail of the President’s route is meticulously planned and scrutinized to minimize potential threats. Measures such as removing mailboxes and welding shut manhole covers are taken to prevent the placement of bombs. Their vigilance extends to securing vantage points by removing doorknobs from rooms overlooking the route to prevent potential sniper positions. The Secret Service also positions their own snipers on rooftops to provide an additional layer of protection. Their commitment to advanced recon and meticulous event planning helps mitigate potential risks and ensures the President’s safety.
