IN CASE OF EMERGENCY DIAL 911
The USPD Personal Protection Detail (PPD), operating under the Special Operations Division (SOD), is the agency’s dedicated close-protection unit for VIPs, government officials, political leaders, foreign dignitaries, and high-risk witnesses.
Focused on discretion, intelligence-driven security, and rapid protective response, the PPD ensures safe movement, secure environments, and continuous protection in both routine and high-threat situations.
Our Mission
The mission of the Personal Protection Detail is to protect individuals facing elevated risk through meticulous planning, threat assessment, and professional close-protection operations.
We enable protected persons to carry out their responsibilities without disruption, fear, or compromise—at public events, private meetings, court appearances, or during sensitive engagements.
With highly trained officers, modern protective techniques, and seamless coordination across agencies, the PPD delivers consistent, reliable, and unobtrusive protection wherever the mission requires.
