August 18 - United States Secret Service

On August 18, we'll hear about the workings of the United States Secret Service when Agent Bryce Taylor joins us. Agent Taylor has been with the Secret Service for over 19 years and is currently a Senior Special Agent with the Riverside Field Office. Agent Taylor has investigated financial crimes and has been a member of the Secret Service Counter Assault Team (their version of SWAT). He was also a full time member of the Presidential Protective Detail assigned to Presidents Obama and Trump. In addition to his regular duties in Riverside, Agent Taylor is also helping plan security arrangements for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. Prior to joining the Secret Service, Bryce was a mild-mannered CPA who worked in internal audit.
