A DSS career reaches well beyond a protection detail.
Diplomatic Security Service special agents conduct criminal investigations and manage security programs at U.S. embassies and consulates around the world. Their work helps keep American diplomacy moving.
The @ClarkeDSFellows helps eligible undergraduate and graduate students prepare for that career through academic funding and professional experience. Fellows who complete the program and meet Foreign Service entry requirements are appointed as DSS special agents.
If that sounds like the work you want to do, explore the fellowship and apply by November 30: clarkedsfellowship.org

He fled to Hungary. DSS helped bring him back.
Paul Bocska was sentenced to 30 years in prison for 16 counts of criminal sexual assault of a minor. He committed these crimes while working as a driving instructor in Illinois.
Bocska fled the United States traveling through England to Hungary to avoid trial. He was convicted in his absence. Hungarian authorities found him living under an assumed identity.
DSS teams in Chicago, Budapest, and Amsterdam worked with Hungarian authorities, @USMarshalsHQ, the @FBI, the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office, and the St. Charles Police Department to secure his extradition and returned him back to the United States. @usembbudapest

Putting migrant smugglers out of business in Peru.
DSS agents at @USEMBASSYPERU together with @PoliciaPeru dismantled a suspected migrant smuggling network. The network altered immigration records to move people into and out of Peru. At least 30% of the travelers believed to have used the network were later encountered in the United States.
Operación Hermandad Fronteriza deployed 277 police officers across 15 locations, resulting in 12 arrests. Special thanks to @CBP for providing critical support to this investigation.
