$3.8 BILLION

Did you know? We prevented the U.S. dollar equivalent of $3.8 billion in
currency from reaching domestic and transnational criminals in 2019.





OUR INVESTIGATIVE MISSION



The U.S. Secret Service has a long and storied history of safeguarding America’s
financial and payment systems from criminal exploitation. The agency was created
in 1865 to combat the rise of counterfeit currency following the Civil War. As
the U.S. financial system has evolved - from paper currency to plastic credit
cards to, now, digital information - so too have our investigative
responsibilities. 

Today, Secret Service agents, professionals, and specialists work in field
offices around the world to fight the 21st century’s financial crimes, which are
increasingly conducted through cyberspace. These investigations continue to
address counterfeit, which still undermines confidence in the U.S. dollar, but
it is credit card fraud, wire and bank fraud, computer network breaches,
ransomware, and other cyber-enabled financial crimes, that have become the focus
of much of the Secret Service investigative work.

 * OFFICE OF INVESTIGATIONS
   
   
   STRATEGY FY 2021–2027
   
   
   
   The Office of Investigations operates as a global network of multi-functional
   teams, conducting high-impact criminal investigations that safeguard the
   integrity of financial and payment systems, while fully supporting all
   protective requirements.
