Days after assuming the Oval Office, US President Donald Trump named Sean Curran to serve as director of the US Secret Service. The president made the announcement on his social media platform Truth Social. In the post, Trump referred to Curran as a “great patriot”. Curran previously served as a special agent for Trump’s security for four years.

“It is my great honour to appoint Sean Curran as the next Director of the United States Secret Service. Sean is a Great Patriot, who has protected my family over the past few years, and that is why I trust him to lead the Brave Men and Women of the United States Secret Service,” the POTUS wrote in his post on Wednesday.

“Sean has 23 years of Law Enforcement experience, starting his career in the Secret Service in 2001, as a Special Agent in the Newark Field Office, where he conducted protection, intelligence, investigations, recruitment, and logistics support for the district. During my First Term, Sean served as the Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Presidential Protective Division, with direct oversight and responsibility of multiple protectees, and enhanced security plans for my residences,” he added.

Trump picks Sam Curran to lead Secret Service

During the first assassination attempt on Trump on July 13 in Butler Pennsylvania, Curran sprung to cover the president on stage preventing him from any injuries. “He proved his fearless courage when he risked his own life to help save mine from an assassin’s bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania,” Trump recalled the incident in his post.

An outsider

Trump’s pick was seen based on the recommendations made by two bipartisan commissions who recommended in 2015 and earlier this year that the American presidents should choose an outsider to lead the agency. It is pertinent to note that, unlike other cabinet positions or the post of the FBI director, the new director of the Secret Service would not require a confirmation from the US Senate.

With the Wednesday appointment, Curran will be replacing Ron Rowe, who has filled the role of acting director since July. Rowe had to step in when Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned from the post following a major backlash over the federal agency’s failure to prevent the would-be assassin from targeting Trump.

At that time, the Secret Service was also condemned for failing to prevent two-rally goers from getting injured along with the death of 50-year-old attendee Cory Comperatore. It is pertinent to note that the top-ranking position will be Curran’s first job at the service’s headquarters. He is currently not a member of the Senior Executive Service, which comprises of highest ranking officials within the service. In the past, directors of the federal agencies have been picked among them.
