(Dan Tri) – US Secret Service agents are considered a `human shield` to ensure the safety of the US President anywhere, especially during every trip of the head of government.
Jeffrey Robinson, author of `Standing Next to History: An Agent’s Life Inside the Secret Service`, has revealed the secret world of the US Secret Service with the work of ensuring security for the President.
Those who always travel next to the President have extremely strict rules to ensure the security of the head of the White House, especially during trips.
`Outpost`
Field survey activities where the US President visited took place several months ago.
According to author Robinson, secret agents and White House staff will first go to the place where the President plans to visit 3 months in advance to survey and coordinate with local officials to ensure priority airspace and priority routes for passengers.
Identify threats
Secret Service agents will cooperate with local police to identify potential threats and evaluate them at different levels.

Closer to the date of the President’s trip, the Secret Service will check each location where the US leader plans to stop with sniffer dogs and check security at all parking lots to ensure that no one can plant a bomb.
In addition, they will also set up domes at that hotel, to ensure secrecy and safety when the head of the White House steps out of the limousine.
Notify hospitals
The medical team is always on standby ready for emergency situations.
Author Robinson said, the US Secret Service must ensure that the President is always in a place no more than 10 minutes away from the hospital.
Aircraft backup
The US President will travel by Air Force One.
Thousands of people participated
Author Robinson believes that at least 6 planes will fly with the President.
`Every time the President moves, there will be thousands of people participating in the service,` said author Robinson.

To ensure safety and facilitate the movement of the President’s motorcade, some roads in places where the US leader visits will be temporarily closed.
Secret path
When the President arrives at the hotel, he will not go through the main door.
Check the background of hotel staff
Before the President arrives, Secret Service agents will check the backgrounds of all hotel employees.
`Blockade` of 3 floors of the hotel
In addition to the hotel floor containing the President’s room, the secret service will request that the floors above and below be left empty to ensure safety.
Remove all electronic devices
The hotel room where the US President stays will be stripped of available electronic devices.
Before the President arrives, the secret service must remove electronic devices and phones in the rooms where the President stays and replace them with devices he brings with him.
Set up 3 layers of security
Secret agents will create three layers of security around the president.
Check the food
Every time the American leader travels, he will be served with food cooked by private chefs.
