The Secret Service, like the Coast Guard, was part of the Treasury Department. When founded in 1865, the job was to fight counterfeiting. Later on, duties expanded to fighting fraud against the government, the KKK and, in 1901, protecting the president.

Now, they're DHS, but the job is the same. Give them a call.
