"Secret Service chief Pierson resigns amid security breach scandal"

U.S. Secret Service Director Julia Pierson, appointed to fix the embattled agency in the wake of a scandal in which agents consorted with prostitutes in Colombia, has resigned, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson announced Wednesday. Pierson “offered her resignation, and I accepted it,” Johnson said in a statement. “I salute her 30 years of distinguished service to the Secret Service and the Nation.” She was the agency's first woman director. Johnson said he had appointed retired Secret Service agent Joseph Clancy, former head of the Presidential Protective Division of the Secret Service, to lead the agency. “The panelists will be named shortly. By December 15, 2014, this panel will submit to me its own assessment and recommendations concerning security of the White House compound,” Johnson said. “I will also invite the panel to submit to me recommendations for potential new directors of the Secret Service, to include recommendations of individuals who come from outside the Secret Service.”

^ This is another Agency head that has to leave under Obama (the other being the former head of the VA.) If I was a government official and protected by the Secret Service I would look into hiring my own private security that can actually do there job. It's clear that more needs to be done within the Secret Service than just a new head (considering all the scandals that have taken place over the past several years under different leaders.) ^
