Congress charged the Secret Service with two responsibilities, protection of our nation's leaders and criminal investigations. The Secret Service was established in 1865, solely to suppress the counterfeiting of U.S currency. The Cooperative Education Program provides an excellent avenue for the Secret Service to identify and train highly motivated individuals.
