I Tried Secret Service Academy

who doesn't love a good

secret

a little

secret

a big secret a top secret but if there is a place known for its secrets it is the agency in charge of protecting the highest Office of the Free World the United States Secret Service hello, I am a youtuber and from some point I somehow managed to convince the United States Secret Service to let me train with them for a week, but little do they know that I have my own secret to finding the head of the Secret Service himself to ask the question we've all been asking. wondering what the secret is what the secret is the secret now I know what you're thinking how are we making this video oh, for the last seven months I've been cold calling and emailing the Secret Service to try to convince them to make a video with us to which I never received a single answer, he left me no choice I had to play my trump card my ace in the hole my secret weapon the FBI I called one of my contacts in the old office from when we filmed a video with them in 2019.

We were able to get in touch with you and 24 hours later we had an encrypted message in our inbox from the United States Secret Service and luckily for us, the Secret Service agreed to make a video as long as we get more views. that the FBI video and that brings us to today, they gave us an area of ​​the country to fly to, but they didn't actually give us an address of where to meet until yesterday. The communication to make this episode happen has been fascinating. The pigeon abandoned the Nest Sunglasses Emoji I bought this suit on Amazon two days ago and I am about to enter one of the most prestigious and secret organizations in the world.

Let it roll and put the camera on your lap, maybe security will pass us through multiple checkpoints. and then he put us in an unmarked van how long have you been part of the Secret Service Mike uh 35 years 35 years and now you're here it's not my first time in an unmarked man Miss Carray good morning good morning welcome to James Training Center J rally where we proudly train the brave men and women of the United States Secret Service listen to the training in the world. I have to say that we actually watched your other videos, whether it be the FBI Academy, the Marine Corps, and San Diego Police, so we are very excited that you accepted this challenge and we are very excited to have you well.

I have a question as I come here. I am on a quest to find out what the secret is if you successfully complete the final challenge we will tell you the secret for the final challenge in this video. I'll be put through the largest training simulation we've ever done on this channel, hundreds of live role-players, real Secret Service agents, and even a mock-up of my Air Force One mission to maintain protective security from point A. to point B through possible assassination attempts to ensure My success. I have four days to learn everything I can about the Secret Service and how they train to put the president's life before their own, which brings me to My first lesson, as I understand it, is that you have applied the law and tactics of military-type control or defensive measures before.

Yes, this is going to be different. This is geared towards protection rather than me hitting protection. You'd rather be beaten yourself. Wow, that's the mentality. Completely different mentality. Yes, our natural instinct is to ward off danger and get away from it. I can not do this. I'm not coming to you. I'm going towards protection D. You'll see that this is not a high threat level because Are you safe? Will you say that? You mean like from a human base. Primal. Okay, the instinct is that if I threw a punch at you and turned around and threw stitches at someone else, you'd go.

Oh, it's not me, but that. It's not me you're sworn to protect we're on a mission to provide a

service

that

service

is protection any of us will put ourselves in danger for our protectees at any given moment it doesn't matter if you stay or Democrat or right wing Republican we provide our service that's what What everyone is saying this time, let's just start with the knife. Okay, everyone shake hands. Everyone is really excited and then someone presents a gun. Our mentality is to attack the hand and the weapon. How much of your body is between threat and protection?

If I do this and he stabs me, I guess it's better, so I hope your ideas grab him and throw his entire body in the middle. It's Kelly and me. I am a special agent with the United States Secret Service and am currently assigned to President Biden on the presidential detail. Other law enforcement agencies may not get that training, but that's our job, to get in front of the president and put ourselves in the middle. the protective person and the threat, if the impulse gets you, that's the rule, right, our ballistic vest won't stop a knife, one stab is much better than several stabs, so if it comes into this, we want to keep it there if you can get it out the knife. gun gun say something nice knife knife knife Perfect, okay, ready to do this on the rope one, what do you mean rope line?

We usually use a bike rack where it's covered and that's where a protector will hold your hand, hugs, all that kind of stuff while working in a crowd, so for our rope lines it's usually the aluminum or the metal of the planes that have seen around for our training purposes, we use PVC pipes. Now this is my chance to sign autographs, get pictures, we're going to be up here and there could be 100 people a thousand people twenty thousand people all piled up right now, let's deal with what we're most common exuberant handshakes amounts exuberant handshakes and people attractive are there they have been waiting hours to meet this person I'm sure you deal with that all the time so it's exactly the same but most of the time this is the only technique you need, move on.

I'm starting to need to let him go, oh my god that's what happens most of the time if he doesn't. Doesn't he give a thumbs up and just stick his hand out? Now talk to them, sir. I'm going to need you to let go. Yes, that's all you guys think we need to let it go. I should probably sound more forceful when I say it. oh you may sound good the grip is what's forceful so control I need you to let go and there you go so next up is a hug it doesn't matter how I'm gripping the same applies if you turn your thumbs to open them, so we have to move. so watch what Leslie does here watch how she creates space so take your thumb and turn it down to weaken her arm and now you have control over them remember to be polite because most people are there just to pass a good time, okay?

Be prepared to crush anyone today in Dayton, Ohio. This moment of panic at a Donald Trump rally. Secret Service agents rushed to his side after a protester

tried

to get on stage for my final challenge. I'm going to have to deal with a live crowd and think about assessing whether they're friendly or not they're threats it looks like it's going to be really overwhelming crowds on this side protect these on this side anyone coming from this side to this side is a threat He jumps where do I go? I know he's going there, so if I try to cut him off, I see where my problem is.

Yes, I know he goes there. That's the prize, so I'm going to cut them into the prize and this is where it crashes and I take. around I redirect their energy so everyone else can do things right so you can be here Dan will try to touch Thomas's head don't let him drive drive and fall there you go perfect one more time make sure you don't try to catch him because his momentum will always pass through you redirect redirect is energy done right and you really did a good job compensating you went there and first you caught him and you saw how you got knocked back and then you started leading all the other law enforcement officers to take cover. cover yourself, cover yourself, you are the cover, so take control, okay, run towards the problem.

So today we're going to show you how to deal with a final White House jumper oh my gosh so this is like what we see on the news when someone actually decides to climb and jump a White House fence absolutely so this area of grass should represent the White House lawn yeah, it's like they already climbed it yeah and see, yeah, okay, let's do it today. I'm going to try to jump the White House fence and see if I can get into the White House, so I'll wear a bite suit just to make sure the dog grabs me and doesn't leave any marks. something I don't want to take home it's time to protect the White House oh, one problem, get away from us and get on the ground, stay there, get on the ground, take your time, turn that around to be quick, cross your ankles now.

You'll move well as you move Turner will come in and give you lethal coverage bend your knees and Christian will cover the range good job search area accessible real stop today at 3 pm. m. a 26 year old white man opened fire at the white house from outside the north fence at least eight bullets hit the white house complex near a second floor guest bedroom its crazy to imagine being inside that fence At the White House on a Saturday there could be a couple thousand people on the fence line, so the hope is that if it's a lethal situation, we can do remote shooting against a backdrop of thousands of people, so so we spent many hours perfecting our aiming skills, thank you, thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your service, thank you, although today we know the Secret Service to protect the president, that was not its original purpose. The Secret Service was initially formed in 1865 to address the nation's rampant problem of forgery and to this day the Secret Service still carries out this mission along with other forms of forensic investigation. This all happens here in one of the largest ink libraries in the world, so this is the evidence envelope, so we have our threat letters in here, so when someone sends a threatening letter to the president, the The Secret Service then wants the forensic lab to do some tests to see if they can find who it came from or where it came from.

You have to show the threat letter. I'm coming for you. You won't know I'm there until it's too late XXX so this was sent to the president yeah okay yeah what a lot of people see on TV and movies is police officers taking a piece of paper and a pencil and they start shading it and then magically they get impressions in real life. that actually ruins the document, so this is called an electrostatic detection device. I'm going to have you press the buttons to turn it on, that was a really good button. Okay, what I'm looking for is if someone had the threat letter and then another piece of paper on top of it and they're writing on that top piece of paper they're making printouts on the document below oh my gosh there's something in there that investigators can do so is search in your house or your vehicle and if you can find it a piece of paper that has this written on it now we've linked those two documents together have you found something really crazy, of course, but we can't talk about it, you can't talk about it, but it was like Nicholas Cage in National?

Treasure, yes, as if I were the link The missing link in this exam, did you have the memory as if you ran down the hall with the behavior? You're like I got it, yeah, you just want to show off to all your colleagues, oh my god, what's up? Then with this document, after completing my exam, I move the evidence to fingerprints. Fingerprint branch. I'm in a movie right now. This is very exciting, so in this case we are going to use a chemical called ninhydrin that reacts with amino acids in the residue of your fingerprints and turns it purple, so if you want to go ahead, put this in the tray and then leave it completely submerged, sometimes when I don't take care of my eyebrows for a while, this is what The letter looks like after it has been processed and you can see down here.

We have a big, beautiful print that is great. What I'm going to do is code it and start finalizing the federal fingerprint database to see if I can. make any identification you see a lot of times where the computer says hey this is this person, it's not reality, we actually have to make that identification decision, the computer doesn't do it for us. I think this is cool because it's like all of you are Finding the Hidden Story exactly Yeah, I have a question to ask you, okay? What is the secret? Don't know. It's a secret for me too.

Said like a real person who has a secret after the assassination of President McKinley in 1901, the Secret Service. was finally assigned the task of protecting the president full time today the Secret Service protects the first family the vice president and his immediate family former presidents and their immediate families visit heads of state and major presidential candidates, as can be seen Imagine, that's a lot of people to protect in a lot of different environments, so how does the Secret Service plan for so much uncertainty?to the Secret Service about anything that's raining? Then you have marlargo. Martha's Vineyard and its agents must be prepared to be in and around the water, so Presidents have different hobbies: boating, skiing, biking, swimming, so, as special agents, we have to be there with them, so that everyone's training is completely based on the president's right hobbies, so everyone is sitting there saying, please don't do it. getting the adventurous president right, we always wonder when they're going to do the next thing so we have to be prepared for that, that's fun, though yeah, just snorkeling, yeah, with the president, that's fun, okay, some good ones trips.

In fact, I'm going to make you wear a belt, a gun, and a radio to add some weight. Oh wow, that's a shock, no one likes it. Swimming with shoes or long pants or especially a jacket because all that water gets trapped in your sleeves. Swimming in bdus is a good exercise because it gets you used to maybe falling into the water. unintentionally wearing a year or normal clothes oh that was horrible. I feel like I'm like Veruca Salt and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and she stops at Blueberry. When you feel overwhelmed in the water, you may need to get out of that situation or even react to a threat from that situation.

Secret Service. a gun Secret Service drops the gun Next step we're going to move on to our shallow water egress trainer, also known as a diving chair, so what we're going to do simulates a helicopter crash, that's right, we pass it because We fly in helicopters. we fly in helicopters when you're in the protection details president detail that kind of thing a very heavy helicopter, all the engines on the top of the helicopter, so when it hits the water it will immediately turn upside down and then it will start to sink. when you start getting out of that helicopter as fast as we can, find your reference point, unbuckle your seat belt and get out, that's a win, things you sign up for things that everyone does every day, okay Although this activity may seem simple in execution, it is actually very difficult to explain how difficult it is to do.

The moment I turned upside down my sinuses were flooded with water my nose burned every time I exhaled the bubbles went in the direction wrong and I couldn't take off my seat belt. What do we do? I started to unbutton myself before dropping the box. You didn't worry about the door. Yeah, okay, do it again. These are our blackouts. This will basically simulate that you are in a helicopter where you lost your vision. What's that? device that you did not mention at this moment we are going to cut off your vision so that you depend on other senses oh my God this is scary this is thank you very good that was better water in each nose yes and how to imagine oh my God We crashed in a helicopter, what?

TRUE? and then you think: I'm going to go upside down. Now I have to relax. Now I have to kick the door up and, of course, think the footsteps are crazy while the president flies on Marine One and Air Force. For long-distance travel, they rely on the presidential motorcade for ground transportation with more than 30 vehicles. The presidential motorcade is a fleet of armored vehicles designed to get the president safely from point A to point B. The presidential motorcade is essentially an armored White House on wheels. Complete with its own counterattack team, hazmat unit, press corps and even medical personnel, the presidential motorcade is so vital that it is even flown around the world for use abroad and at the heart of the motorcade is the vehicle which carries the president himself, known as the Beast. and I was told I might have the opportunity to ride the Beast later today.

Very good, Michelle. I'd like to take you to Robert Deal's Historic Vehicle Garage. Show you some of the historic vehicles that were lucky enough to remain here. This is Obama's. car, it's one of the oldest for sure, this is a 1993 Cadillac limousine, it was a marvel of President Clinton, so this is President Bush's car, oh my goodness, custom, it's handmade, this is literally the only example left in the world, so I'm driving. not this, okay, you can drive the armored Suburban armored Suburban. I am very excited about this segment. This is where I will learn to drive in the caravan.

Yes ma'am, are you ready to go for a run? Surely everything. Okay, first I'll take you for a walk and then we'll teach you two, we'll let you run everything right, so we're about to start like this is all system stuff, okay, hold on tight, what? happened ready to learn the j turn no one a j turn is a protective driving maneuver in which a vehicle going in reverse turns 180 degrees and continues forward without changing the direction of travel, so a couple of principles of this is really simple, it's not that As complicated as it sounds, put your hand at the four o'clock position, so where that little seam is, you're going to put your left hand here and you're going to put your other hand on the shifter.

We're going to put it backwards, you're going to start going backwards like this, one, two, three, four, take off the accelerator, huh, okay, you've got it, one, go up, two, three, four, that's pretty good, It was pretty good, let's go around. I'll let you make another one when you do this in the camper. I hope they never get to do it if something were to happen and they had to leave the area immediately. This is something they could do instead of taking your time to backtrack to two points. twist yeah that's cool too and it definitely looks cool yeah ma'am excellent very well done yeah there's nowhere to go let me take it back to the top and swap it out.

Did I absolutely graduate? Now let's take a step forward. Suburban armor these doors are heavy, so this is a vehicle that would actually be used in the actual caravan. Yes, ma'am, are there secrets? I couldn't tell him that. So, yes, we are, sir, ready. Was this tire? No, no, there is a supercharger. there is a supercharger here it is that heavy that is one of the secrets that is one of the secrets it was a secret until now so when you are ready do it slowly, get used to it and we will explain it to you well here we go, ready, good and without problems, we are before a damn overfed whale.

This is really hard to describe unless you've honestly experienced it. I've never driven a semi-truck, but this is what I imagine it feels like to drive a machine this big, now you're going to go 50 miles per hour straight, don't change terrain, hit the brakes as hard as you can, go straight, go straight, break, very well done, what's happening now. Wow, that's another secret you'll discover shortly. More secrets you'll pass while driving, so what we're going to end up doing now is ramming. Look, yeah, we're going to hit a vehicle. Now this is what we are going to have. you guys do it, I'm, I'm ramming or being rich, you guys will be in the vehicle so this is like simulating an ambush, a vehicle pulls up in front of you, tries to block you and we have to get over it.

Through the vehicle, we push it out of the way, we move and then we continue, we will continue on our merry way. We want to try to align the driver's side headlight with that X that we don't want. hit the rear tire, ideally you just want to get the car off the road, let's do it, it's good, although the car program before is not the first time for everything, great, ready, set, bang, come on, come on, you go with strength, very good, let me go. and slow down just spin around that was very exciting wow and to further emphasize the strength of this vehicle look at the little damage that occurred this is the paint on the other car and as I continue my quest to find the secret definitive of the Secret Service.

It's no secret how grateful I am for everyone watching. I just want to say thank you all so much for helping us reach our next milestone on this channel of 3 million subscribers and if you're new here and if you've done it. You didn't subscribe, what are you doing? Make sure you subscribe right now because we make epic videos like this all the time for my last day of the Academy. I was put through a multi-hour firearms training program consisting of shooting tests, accuracy and marksmanship evaluations. obstacle course, they even have me perform exercises in a 300 degree virtual training simulator called vertra.

There are five huge screens that project real-life scenarios that react in real time to my actions and it is this type of training that measures an agent's ability to make decisions in fractions of a second. Under stress, this police officer came out and identified himself. Luckily for him, you were a bad shooter on that one and missed, but in real life you have to take that second to really identify what it is you see before taking action while training virtually. It has the benefits of it, nothing beats the real thing and, therefore, to train in the most realistic environment possible, I was taken to his Tactical Village to learn how to respond in case the presidential motorcade gets caught in an ambush.

We are here now in the Tactical Village we have a simulated hotel, municipal buildings, hospitals, basically to simulate a city in which we can carry out several different training scenarios. This is incredible. Emily will be one of our shift colleagues. Adam will be one of our shift partners. well, amazing and everyone will be with me in the final challenge. That's right. Oh, well, I'm very excited to work with all of you, so you'll be in a follow up and the caravan is. They are going to arrest him and you will have to go out and defend him.

Let's have Emily do a first demonstration. The shift leader who comes here will have already opened this door because they are detained. This is armor. Emily. He will go out with his weapon loaded, he will engage that threat, threat down, threat down, he will put it in a safe place and he will move to another point of cover, he will detect other threats in his sector, he will lower that threat and he will scan us. anticipate if there is a threat there are multiple threats we call it looking for a job if there are problems we will find that problem solve that problem looking for more work is an entrepreneurial spirit unfortunately this is our business threat threat thank you foreigner, ideally you want to go up to your door, threaten down , move, so if that fails, you have a working gun, go to your gun, go there, go, threaten down, okay, stop guys, the reason we wanted you not to shoot from this door is because, in fact, that change.

The leader came out, you could potentially have friendly fire, okay, we call it good, better, best, that was good, this up here is better and then if he can get out and you're providing cover for him, that's the best, it's an incredible threat, threat, what are you doing? Tell your teammates oh, they make me repeat the same exercise over and over again because when you're protecting the president it's a zero-fail mission, okay, do you have an operational weapon with you? She's still shooting at you, she goes back in. the fight and if things go wrong it doesn't matter, I need to learn to overcome that under pressure, there you go, press down, the threat is down, now the only thing I like about you came up on your feet and then when it failed you changed of elevation, so now she's not looking at that same target up there now you're just an eyeball and a muzzle Above this hood even better, also come here right now you can use the brakes and you can use this wheel your aim is good the use of safety is good you reloaded two or three times you left these magazines did they have rounds?

Yes, they can be critical for your safety and that of your shift partner. This was the first wave of two or three attacks like what happened in Mexico in 2020 and their attack on their security General, it lasted a minute and a half and there were many expanded rounds. This could be the difference between going home and not going home, so we'll run it over and over again until you get exactly the way we want you to run. Well, thank you, you are doing a great job, keep your head up after finishing the last day of training, it was time for the final challenge.

Today's final challenge will involve you having to provide protection to a protectee through a series of events and airport arrival, a motorcade transport and a public speech in front of a live crowd and if at any point the protection is damaged, It's a failed mission and the challenge is over. This final challenge will also include President Biden's actual motorcade and will feature real Secret Service agents including the counter sniper unit, so we will be posted here for your final exercise and this post gives us the best vantage point to help you and to the rest of the detail to fulfill their mission, so while I am on shift and closer to the protected, you will be here with other snipers while OverWatch corrects us, yes, and then, if we locate or identify any threats, we can transmit it to you to help you in the compositions, yeah, you know? the secret you know the secret yes of course can you tell me what the secret issecret?

No, I'm sorry, I can't, it's classified Michelle, this is the team you're going to work with, so who am I protecting today? protecting the commissioner today call sign Justice call sign Justice well, are there any other call signs? uh we have a lot of call signs like, what are your secrets? uh today we're just using Justice okay okay only one got it there's an earpiece on the radio you need for the final challenge now it's real before we start making it official. Okay, this is the secret. Not yet. Not yet, we'll tell you later. If I succeed, I will know the secret.

You are successful. We will talk. good luck, thanks command post Justice plane with wheels down Justice plane with wheels down shift leader coffee coming out Justice at the top of the stairs all copies, thank you just like at the bottom of the stairs Justice inside from the mall to show you, turn them off, look at those, just keep going, exit site one and we're outside two looking out the window I saw dozens of uniformed division officers lining the entire perimeter and that's when I realized the true scale of this operation, a threat could come from anywhere at any time and since it's the final challenge I knew something was going to happen eventually and I was so nervous waiting for when or where thank you, a ride, okay, go out, make those coffees, Justice, okay thanks remember my son thanks Chris Justice the external remote is just moving the hole.

This is how in here, Michelle, you want to make a pre-poster, they came out on stage. Suddenly I found myself with a massive crowd of people I realized that it was now my job to track down over 50 living human beings, each with their own intentions, ladies and gentlemen, RTC Commissioner Katrina Smith overseas, thank you welcome everyone what a beautiful day in Laurel Maryland uh this is great. in participation, yes, God for Michelle, the dumb guy on the right. I also know my love and passion for animals. Goal down please get one down in class C with unicorn division.

Thank you all, have fun at this SPCA event today. I hope they end up finding it. Your friend forever and thanks again everyone. Up to this point I felt like I had an advantage against any threat due to the distance between us and the crowd, but as we approached the rope line I became incredibly nervous face to face with 50 loudly screaming strangers. and just a thin barrier between us thank you, thank you for being here, thank you very much, thank you for being here, goodbye everyone, thank you Justice concluding the loved one's follow-up Justice moves home, smart side two in round one with the full speech What we had to do now was take Justice back to the airport, guys.

I knew there would be a very flashy ending and the moment we turned the corner towards the Tactical Village, I knew something big was about to happen. pedestrians, the tailgating driver on the right is a vehicle blocking real estate 12 o'clock foreign, like in training, my rifle jammed again, forcing me to switch to my gun, but as an agent I had to make my situation will work no matter what oh wait and Cat. setting standby perimeter secondary attack can't get down 10 o'clock for me to set standby for cat smoke respond to site one secure camera copy that caravan is resuming, all set, thank you Justice outside the limo Pharmacy The toughest of justice Justice on board the plane real stop, we did it, yeah, good job, she's safe, oh my god, oh holy cow , congratulations, good job, thank you, challenge accepted, yes, I crushed it, oh well, thank you, awesome, well done on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security, the United States Secret Service, this certifies Michelle Carray's successful completion the challenge of the United States Secret Service.

She accepted the Secret Service Academy. Congratulations, well done. Thank you. OMG, the Department of Homeland Security authorized this and as promised to complete the final challenge, I was able to sit down with the head of the secret service. uniform division to ask the man himself what the secret is what the secret is the secret so I've been here for a while so I have a few but I'll tell you
