Secret Service warns of threat level ahead of WHCA dinner redo

Washington Examiner · back to the audit

The Secret Service on Wednesday warned that threat levels to protectees are at the highest recorded levels and raised concerns about the increasing security concerns posed by drones.

During a media briefing, officials said that nationwide threat levels against protectees, ranging from President Donald Trump to Supreme Court justices, have skyrocketed by roughly 40% over the same time period last year. The threats are "increasing in volume and complexity," officials told reporters, adding that they have handled a record 10,000 threat-related cases this year.

"The environment has become very volatile, and that's just across the board," Secret Service Director Sean Curran said. "The threat picture and environment is as large as I've ever seen it."
