Safeguarding UNGA: A behind-the-scenes look at Secret Service and UN General Assembly

At the 77th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) the U.S. Secret Service worked closely with its law enforcement partners at every level to safeguard hundreds of diplomatic delegations from around the world, providing the protection for which our agency is renowned. This includes coordinating security operations with partners charged with specific areas of management and response leading up to and throughout the event. During the past year, the U.S. Secret Service, along with its NSSE partners, worked tirelessly to anticipate and prepare for all possible contingencies to ensure a safe and secure event.
