Report: Secret Service Offers 2 Tailored Suits for New Agents

The Secret Service will begin providing two tailored suits to newly trained agents assigned to protective details, a change that officials and people familiar with the decision framed as an effort to reduce out-of-pocket costs for new agents and potentially aid recruiting.

The move comes as the Department of Homeland Security operates under a partial shutdown.

The plan calls for each new graduate of protective detail training to receive two navy-blue tailored suits, with name embroidery inside the jacket, under a proposed five-year contract the agency published last week.

People familiar with the move said the initiative began after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem disliked how a protective detail was dressed in suits that agents bought for themselves.
