Federal charges have been filed against a Downey man following an investigation into suspicious activity detected Sunday during advance security planning for the Presidential visit to Los Angeles.
The case highlights the meticulous planning, protective intelligence and layered security that underpin every one of our movements. Long before a protected arrives, our agents, police officers and technical teams are busy identifying potential threats, coordinating closely with our local partners and taking decisive action to mitigate risks.
This arrest and the efforts of our hardworking team here in the United States Secret Service - Los Angeles Field Office demonstrate how advance planning, vigilance and strong partnerships with our local law enforcement partners help ensure the safety and security of our nation’s leaders and the public.
