Report finds holes and delays in how Secret Service updates its protection policy

A government report released on Thursday found that the U.S. Secret Service experienced holes and delays in updating its protection policies following several drone-related incidents. According to the findings, the agency failed to adjust its security guidelines or document the reasons why it chose not to do so.

The unaddressed incidents involved civilian drone use, an emerging security threat. Investigators noted that proper documentation and timely policy updates by the Secret Service could have better illustrated and prepared the agency for this growing risk.
