Secret Service Agent Rates 11 POTUS Protection Scenes In Movies And TV | How Real Is It?

At least one of them reached the press conference room. We have the suspect in custody and also a high-powered rifle. Bartlet: Was anyone in the room? Evy: If there is some kind of shooting in the White House, the last place I would want to go to have a nice conversation with the president about the shooting is the Oval Office. The Oval Office is made of glass. There are doors. There are windows. It's open. Is exposed. Although it is protected, it is commonly known that it is not a truly safe area. When the president is in the Oval Office, there are always Secret Service

agent

s.

They are outside and they are inside. I would give this a one on a scale of one to 10, simply for the fact that you would never

real

ly have a conversation like that with your protégé, when the shots were fired so close. Simms: I'm back, I'm back. Woods: Back off, Simms! I do not have any problem with you. Simms: If you hurt this kid, you'll get in trouble with me. Alright? You're going to have problems with everyone. So why don't you let the child go? Forest: Shut up! Evy: I've actually protected a president's children, a specific child I was assigned to.

Now, my first question is, where is everyone else? Where is the equipment? You are never alone alone with the protected. Even if it's a child, you have a team. I would

real

ly be mindful of who I allow near my protégé. Access is usually allowed to people who know very well. People who are tested can access them. Simms: Now, look, calm down. The mall is full of people, man. They're shopping, huh? I have women, I have children. You don't want to shoot anyone. Evy: I may spend time distracting the person, but I won't sit down and negotiate with you.

I will distract you and talk to you so my teams can come in behind you and take you out, so I can regain control of my protégé and keep my protégé safe. I might give this one a five. Then we have Kevin Costner protecting a celebrity. Actually, this is not unusual. Many Secret Service

agent

s, when they retire, usually end up working in some type of private security. He's on stage, but I'm trying to figure out exactly where he is, but normally he's supposed to be on stage, but in the back. Either stage right or stage left.

The other problem is that you have people on stage with her. Definitely a huge, huge no-no. There will be no one on stage because, as we see, she is ambushed. Once again, you need to make sure that when you are an agent, there is nothing, and I mean nothing, between you and your protégé. Frank: Tony! Tony: I'll take care of this! Franco: Not there! Tony: Follow me! Evy: Interestingly, when you see the other security person tell you, wave him over to him, your evacuation point shouldn't be in the crowd. You should not go through where the entrance doors are.

I want an exit that is away from everyone. I want an exit that no one uses. The correct thing is for her to be behind you and as long as she can move. She is behind you. You're creating the shield, you're using your hands and you're pushing people away, and then you get out. You don't really want it or anything in your hands. So even if you see bad weather outside and it's raining, you will never see an agent holding an umbrella. You will never see an agent with bags or anything in his hand. The hands are the most important thing.

These are your weapons. This is your defense system. And if there is something in your hands, how can you fight and protect someone? Not being a real Secret Service protégé, I mean, I can see how this could happen in real life. I'd give this a six. He would want to take the president to a safe, undisclosed location, keep him there for some time until things have calmed down and then he can decide what to do next.
