The Department of Homeland Security Inspector General's review has found that the United States Secret Service's counter sniper unit operated at nearly three-quarters below its required staffing level for four years. This revelation came from an investigation that was prompted by the 2024 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The report indicates that the understaffing of the counter sniper unit, which is responsible for providing critical security measures, could have compromised the agency's ability to effectively protect the President and other high-profile individuals. The findings highlight the need for the Secret Service to address the staffing issues within this vital unit and ensure that it is adequately resourced to fulfill its crucial security responsibilities.
