How Secret Service agents are trained for a 'zero-fail mission'

In 2019, when President Donald Trump still served as commander in chief, Business Insider's chief video correspondent Graham Flanagan spent three days inside the James J. Rowley Training Center in Laurel, Maryland, where future United States Secret Service agents are trained.

After the attempted assassination of Trump on Saturday, for which the Secret Service has come under scrutiny, BI is sharing this extended, never-before-seen version of the speech a group of new Secret Service recruits received on day one of their training in June 2019. Following is the original video published by BI.

NOTE: Lt. Christopher Fagan, seen speaking to new recruits in the video, died in 2023.
