The Diplomatic Security Service has the responsibility of protecting the Secretary of State. The Secretary’s security detail is highly trained and prepared for anything so the only thing he has to worry about is how to protect America abroad. #DSS @secrubio
Entering the United States illegally has consequences. The Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service works with law enforcement partners to protect the integrity of the U.S. travel system and protect our borders. Avoid jeopardizing your future, follow the legal process. @statedeptdss

Training today's partners for tomorrow's global events.
DSS trainers equipped law enforcement officers from Mexico, Peru, and El Salvador with critical skills at ILEA San Salvador—dignitary protection, major event planning, and operational medicine.
The mission? Secure the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2027 Pan American Games.
Participants moved from classroom to field, testing their skills in real-world scenarios during a final capstone exercise.
For over a century, DSS has built the partnerships that protect people and events worldwide. This training ensures we're ready when it matters most. @stateinl
Training for the World's Stage
The DSS Boston Field Office led intensive dignitary protection training with DSS Mobile Security Deployments, Massachusetts State Police, and regional SWAT teams.
Participants mastered protective detail operations, attack response tactics, security vehicle operations, and advance work protocols—preparing to protect dignitaries and secure Boston’s Gillette Stadium for seven FIFA World Cup matches in 2026.
DSS proudly supports DHS as the security lead for the World Cup and the Trump Administration's priority to host a safe and successful tournament. @massstatepolice , @dhsgov , @umassmemorial_life_flight , @potus
MAJOR WIN
U.S. and Panamanian authorities just secured the extradition of Reza Dindar—wanted for conspiring to illegally export sensitive U.S. technology to Iran.
This operation brought together the Diplomatic Security Service and multiple U.S. agencies in a powerful display of interagency teamwork.
The message is clear: DSS will pursue those who threaten our national security—no matter where they hide.
Law enforcement partnerships work. Our technology stays protected. Justice prevails. @dhsgov , @icegov , @cbpgov , @deahq , @usmarshalshq
Pro tip: an outstanding warrant is already enough to ruin your night. The 30 grams of cocaine won’t help.
DSS agents hit the streets of DC this week with @dcpolice and federal partners as part of the DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force to arrest an individual on an outstanding probation violation warrant who also has a criminal record dating back more than 26 years with 41 prior arrests in the DC area alone.
One arrest. A lifetime poor life choices.
Protecting Americans at home and abroad.
Will work for treats!
At the Global Canine Services Center, DSS prepares explosive detection canines to protect U.S. personnel and facilities at high-threat posts overseas.
When some dogs aren’t the right fit for that mission, they don’t stop serving, instead they strengthen partnerships with local law enforcement.
One of our good boys, Epke, recently helped locate 11 shell casings and the murder weapon in a homicide investigation.
Show off your good boy or girl in the comments below!
