(Washington, D.C.) Following the successful launch of a new recruiting website, the
U.S. Secret Service will launch its official Twitter page
on Monday, May 9, 2011.
The internet is a valuable resource for people all over the world, said Secret Service
Assistant Director Mickey Nelson. By using social media sites, we hope to supplement
our recruitment efforts, while providing an informative, helpful tool to businesses and
individuals who are interested in information from our agency.
The @SecretService Twitter account will be used to highlight the Secret Services
investigative mission, share press releases from the Secret Service and the Department of
Homeland Security, distribute information to local communities hosting National Special
Security Events, explore Secret Service history and promote upcoming recruitment
opportunities.
