In the November print issue of Professional Security, one topic is VIP security – specifically security of the US President Barack Obama, by the US Secret Service. Its head resigned recently after scandals of shortcomings – and the lack of openness about those shortcomings – in the service’s work at the White House and while protecting the President outside, in the US and overseas.
An inquiry of the fence-jumping incident at the White House – when a veteran got as far as an unlocked door of the official residence on September 19 – is to report to the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson by November 1.
