“Sean has distinguished himself as a brilliant leader, who is capable of directing and leading operational security plans for some of the most complex Special Security Events in the History of our Country, and the World.

I have complete and total confidence in Sean to make the United States Secret Service stronger than ever before.” he added.
In his remarks, Trump emphasized Curran’s more than twenty years of expertise in law enforcement, including his beginnings as a Special Agent in the Newark Secret Service Field Office in 2001, where he was responsible for a wide variety of significant operations for the organization.
