This walk-through was not just for executive protection, but also for all Secret Service personnel involved. I got to not only overhear stories regarding Secret Service detail, but also the planning that goes into such an event. Some Secret Service agents were explaining to me on how they bring in ex-military personnel to think of ways to cause panic at events. They give each group of military personnel 30 minutes to create a way to cause harm at an event which gives the Secret Service multiple view points in order to combat terrorism at an event. This was very informative because it helps gather intelligence from personnel who have a plethora of knowledge regarding these events. These national agencies were not expanded upon during my educational career, but during this event it helped tie in real-world experience with academic knowledge. I think it would be of benefit to highlight certain steps national agencies take in order to successfully combat terrorism at a large event. This not only would interest criminal justice students, but also help them gain knowledge about potential agencies to work for during career. The information I gathered from the walk-through with the Secret Service help expand my knowledge on their agency, but also other personnel who are involved to make the event safer for the community as a whole. This week was very informative because I got to meet
