The American Secret service is one of the oldest federal law enforcement agencies in America. It was established in the year 1865. The purpose of the establishment was to stabilize the American Young Financial System. Actually in the middle of the 19th century, the problem of counterfeit currency was serious in America. During the American Civil War, there was a flood of counterfeit notes, which caused great damage to the economic system. The government needed to take effective steps against counterfeit currency.
After the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln on 14 april 1865, serious concerns were raised about the safety of the President and the safety of government officials. Although the Secret Service's primary purpose was to combat counterfeit currency, Lincoln's assassination also highlighted the critical need for security. The service's primary job was initially to combat counterfeit currency, but after the assassination of President William McKinley in 1901, the Secret service was also given responsibility for protecting the president and other high government officials.
