The Organized Secret Service was started in 1985, and was initially an organization responsible for the protection of American currency against counterfitting attempts. In 1883, the Secret Service was finally officially acknowledged by the U.S Treasury Department. From 1883, the Secret Service would go on to expand into other areas of government, including being the personal bodyguards for the President of the United States.

This is the branch of British Intelligence with responsibilities external to the United Kingdom. Two specific designations have been used for the Service - MI7 in Dr No(see q.2.3) and MI6 from GoldenEye onwards (see q.2.2).
What war was the secret service created to fight counterfeiting?
The U.S. Secret Service was created to battle counterfeiting five days after Robert E. Lee's surrender marked the end of the U.S. Civil War. One third of all currency in circulation at that time is believed to have been counterfeit. (Considering that the role for which the Secret Service is most famous today is that of protecting the President, it is ironic that Abraham Lincoln created the Secret Service on the day he was shot.)

When was the US Secret Service established?
The United States Secret Service started shortly after President Lincoln was assassinated in 1865. Surprisingly, the duties of the Secret Service did not, at first, include protecting the president! The job of the Secret Service agent was to fight crimes of counterfeiting (the printing and spending of phony money). It was not until President William McKinley was shot to death in 1901, that the Secret Service began to protect the President as well.Protection of the President is the duty of the agents assigned to the White House detail. They must be willing to risk their lives to save the President. A Secret Service White House policeman was shot to death while protecting President Harry Truman from gunmen in 1950. In 1981, an agent was seriously wounded while trying to shield President Ronald Reagan from gunfire.The President and his family may sometimes become annoyed by the constant presence of the Secret Service, but they understand how important the agents are in assuring their safety. More than anyone, the President appreciates how dedicated the Secret Service has been in performing its protection duties over the past 100 years.
