The Honorable Eric Holder


Attorney General of the United States
U.S. Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20530
RE: Request for Investigation of the Shooting Death of Miriam I. Carey,
An Unarmed AfricanAmerican Female in the District of Columbia As A Civil Rights Violat
ion
Dear Mr. Holder:
On behalf of the entire Carey Family and the international community,
I am writing to
respectfully request that the Department of Justice investigate the Octob
er 3 shooting death of
Miriam I. Carey, an unarmed African-American Female in the Distric
t of Columbia as a civil
rights violation and the disturbing response of government officials.
I apologize for the lengthy letter, but, I need to address the sketchy
fact and circumstances
surrounding the shooting of Miriam I. Carey that has not been vigoro
usly challenged
investigated. Now that we have the sworn affidavit filed in this case
by the Metropolitan Police
Department in federal court, we are more confident than ever that these
police officers'
completely mishandled this simple "street encounter" and one or more
of them should be
criminally prosecuted for violating Miriam I. Carey's civil rights.
Basic common sense tells you that things should have been done differe
ntly. Quite frankly, any
properly trained professional law enforcement person, such as I (retire
d NYPD) or Valarie Carey
(retired NYPD) will tell you that moving vehicles are not defined as
"deadly weapons" under
department Use of Force guidelines.
Quite frankly, just about every major police agency in the United States
including the District of
Columbia "strictly prohibits discharging service weapons towards
moving vehicles" for a host of
philosophical and safety reasons, unless the person operating the movin
g vehicle is using "deadly
physical force by means other than a moving vehicle." See, the onerou
s is on the United States
Secret Service Uniformed Division, the United States Capitol Police
or any other involved law

enforcement agency to justify their use of force against Miriam I. Carey. If their legal
argument
is that they were protecting the United States Capitol, White House or any other "proper
ty"...
Well, you know the result, their actions are not justified. Remember, the use of force
guidelines
value life over property.
Certainly, from a law enforcement point of view, the Miriam I. Carey case is not "compl
ex" from
a police science perspective to understand.
These law enforcement officials completely mishandled at best, a simple "suspicious
vehicle" car
stop, such car stops are handled professionally by law enforcement officials all over
the world
every day without incident including in other cities with so-called "high value targets.
" Using the
term "high value target" is nothing other than an emotionally charged red herring to
distract the
public from demanding relevant answers from government officials who obviously
violated
Miriam I. Carey's civil rights under the guise of protecting society from "Terrorism."
I
sarcastically call it the new civil rights Qualified Immunity defense.
There are some publically reported suggestions that somehow in the District of Columb
ia there
should a different legal standard, is intellectually disingenuous.
The Department of Homeland Security was established with the passage of Public Law
107-296
which in part, transferred the United States Secret Service from the Department of the
Treasury,
to the new department effective March 1, 2003.
Under the old guidelines, while part of the United States Treasury, the United States
Secret
Service discharge of their service weapons would NOT be justified... Read the old regulati
ons.
As soon as I find some reference to the new guidelines, while part of the Department
of
Homeland Security, I am quite confident the result would be the same, NOT justified
.
http://www.treasury.gov/about/role-of-treasury/orders-directives/Pages/to105-12.asp
x
The sworn affidavit for a Search Warrant clearly says on Page 1 "A USSS-UD (meanin
g United
States Secret Service Uniformed Division) officer attempted to block the vehicle with
a bicycle
rack, however, the vehicle pushed over the bicycle rack, knocking the officer to the
ground."
Note Miriam I. Carey's actions occurred after she allegedly "refused to stop" at the
vehicle
checkpoint and made a U-turn and allegedly began to "flee." There were no laws violated
as she
was under no legal obligation to enter the checkpoint, turning around and leaving is
also not
violative of any laws. The question is: Why did the police pursue her? Later as the
Carey family
continues with its own independent investigation, we will reconcile each sworn fact
with the
surveillance video, other police records and Google Maps. On the surface, the sworn
facts are
internally inconsistent but, we will know more later on.
Further, in the sworn affidavit, there is NO MENTION that Miriam I. Carey struck
any officers
either.

An innocent unarmed United States Citizen with a toddler was killed


right in front of the entire
international community in the Nation's capital.
We in this country deserve to be treated better than as "mere chattel
," where personal legacies are
much more important than human life. The framers of the United States
Constitution fought for,
died for and demanded it. We should expect no different in today's
society either.
We look forward to your timely response.
Sincerely,

Eric Sanders

employees' assigned to the United States Secret Service Uniform Division.


16.

After realizing her innocent mistake, decedent Miriam Iris Carey made a U-turn

to leave the area heading a short distance eastbound on E Street NW back towards 15th Street
NW.
17.

For some inexplicable reason, instead of simply allowing decedent Miriam Iris

Carey to leave the area, a police officer assigned to the United States Secret Service Uniform
Division without provocation or legal justification, inconsistent with his or her police training,
intentionally, negligently and recklessly threw a bicycle rack at the vehicle striking it.
18.

At the time, decedent Miriam Iris Carey had committed no crime or violation of

any other law, thus, the police had no legal basis to stop her or use any amount of physical
force against her.
19.

The police officer's actions slightly damaged her vehicle, more importantly,

startled her which endangered her safety, her minor child EF and public.
20.

In the process of seeing the bicycle rack being thrown towards her vehicle, to

protect herself and her minor child EF, decedent Miriam Iris Carey panicked and headed
eastbound on Pennsylvania Avenue NW.

in government motor vehicles began to pursue decedent Miriam Iris Carey and her minor child
EF endangering their lives and the public.

officers, supervisors, mangers and other related employees' outweighed the benefit of

investigating a harmless mistaken entrance through the White House entrance gate.
23.

Police management and radio dispatchers, inconsistent with their police

training and department policies, failed to order police officers, supervisors, manage

rs and

other related employees' immediately to terminate pursuing decedent Miriam Iris Carey
her minor child EF, as the risk to them, the public, the police officers, supervisors,

and

mangers

and other related employees' outweighed the benefit of investigating a harmless mistake

entrance through the White House entrance gate.


24.

In complete fear, decedent Miriam Iris Carey continued traveling eastbound on

southbound on 3rd Street SW, still pursued by numerous police officers, supervi

sors, managers

and other related employees in government motor vehicles.


25.

Description: Search and Seizure Warrant

FOR THE ENTIRE VEHICLE, INFINITY, G37XS, VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER


(VIN#) JN1CV6EL413M261683, CONNECTICUT LICENSE # 323-YNS. THE VEHICLE IS
DESCRIBED AS A TWO (2) DOOR, BLACK COLORED, 2010 NISSAN INFINITI LT.
RESUME: Your affiant is a sworn member of the Metropolitan Police Department, assigned
to the Internal Affairs Bureau (IAB), Internal Affairs Division (IAD), and has been so
employed for more than (19) nineteen years.
Your affiant is currently assigned to the Internal Affairs Division (IAD). Your affiant has
investigated a variety of criminal offenses. She has arrested and assisted in arresting
numerous subjects for various offenses, and assisted with the preparation and execution of
numerous search warrants.
POLICE REPORT: On Thursday, October 3, 2013, Detectives of the Metropolitan Police
Department's Internal Affairs Division, became involved in the investigation of a police
involved shooting.
This incident began on Thursday, October 3, 2013, at approximately 2:18 p.m. at a vehicle
checkpoint to the White House, located at 15th and E Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C.
Members of the United States Secret Service, Uniformed Division, (hereinafter, "USSSUD), encountered the aforementioned vehicle at 15th and E Streets Northwest, Washington
D.C.. The suspect vehicle was being operated by a black female (hereinafter, "Decedent").
Decedent refused to stop at the vehicle checkpoint and made a U-turn and began to flee in
the vehicle. A USSS-UD officer attempted to block the vehicle with a bicycle rack,
however, the vehicle pushed over the bicycle rack, knocking the officer to the ground.
Officers from the USSS-UD initiated a pursuit of the suspect vehicle. Decedent was
observed operating the vehicle erratically, violating several District of Columbia traffic
regulations. Decedent entered a traffic circle against the flow of traffic and drove onto a
curb in front of #10 Maryland Avenue, Southwest, Washington DC. The suspect
vehicle was immediately surrounded by officers from the USSS-UD, and United States
Capitol Police (hereinafter, "USCP"). Decedent then drove the suspect vehicle in
reverse, striking a USSS-UD police vehicle. Members from both. USSS-UD and USCP
then discharged their service weapons at the vehicle. Decedent then drove the suspect
vehicle off the curb, traveling northbound on First Street, Northeast and then eastbound
in the 100 block of Constitution Avenue, Northeast, Washington, D.C. Officers from
USSS-UD and USCP pursued the suspect vehicle to et Street and Constitution
Avenue, Northeast where Decedent stopped the suspect vehicle abruptly, and then
1

turned left and drove over a median strip. Decedent then drove in reverse in the 200
block of Maryland Avenue, Northeast, where Decedent again refused to stop.
At this point, officers from both USSS-UD and USCP fired several rounds into the
suspect vehicle, striking Decedent. The vehicle came to rest on the median area
directly behind the guard's booth on the United States Capitol grounds.
Decedent, along with an uninjured child, were removed from the vehicle. Decedent was
transported to the Washington Hospital Center where she was pronounced dead by Dr.
Christine Trankiem of the medical staff. Decedent's remains were transported to the
Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for the District of Columbia pending an autopsy.
The suspect vehicle was recovered as evidence and has remained in police custody.
Based on the above facts and circumstances, your affiant believes that the vehicle
described above is of evidentiary value and may contain physical evidence such as
expended bullets or bullet fragments fired by the officers; vehicle ownership paperwork;
maps, documents, and/or photographs of, or pertaining to, the White House; alcohol or
drugs (legal or illegal); and/or evidence of a mechanical malfunction or lack thereof may
be inside the suspect vehicle.
Your affiant respectfully requests that a District Court Search Warrant be issued for the
entire vehicle known as a 2010 Nissan Infiniti G37XS, VIN#JN1CV6EL413M261683,
Connecticut License # 323-YNS.

Dear Mr. Sanders:
This responds to your letter, dated November 25, 2013, to Attorney General Eric H.
Holder regarding the shooting death of Miriam I. Carey in Washington, District of Columbia.
We apologize for our delay in responding to your letter. In your letter, you request the
Department of Justice to commence an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the
incident.
The Criminal Section of the Civil Rights Division and the United States Attorneys'
Offices are responsible for investigating and prosecuting criminal conduct involving willful
deprivations of rights. In general, these matters include violent bias-motivated crimes, excessive
physical force by local and federal law enforcement officials, violations of involuntary servitude
statutes, and violence against reproductive health care facilities.
As you are aware from speaking with a representative of the United States Attorney's
Office for the District of Columbia, the Department of Justice is reviewing the facts and
circumstances of the shooting death of Miriam I. Carey. Upon conclusion of this thorough and
independent review, the Department will take whatever action is deemed appropriate.
We hope this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact the Department if
we may be of assistance with this or any other matter.
Sincerely,

Joce.t:14

U.S. Attorney's Office Concludes Investigation


Into the Death of Miriam Carey
No Charges to Be Filed in Shooting Near U.S. Capitol
WASHINGTON The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia announced
today that there is insufficient evidence to pursue federal criminal civil rights or local charges
against officers from the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police who were involved in the
fatal shooting of Miriam Carey on Oct. 3, 2013, just blocks from the U.S. Capitol.
Officials from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia notified Ms.
Carey's family and their representatives of this decision today.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia and the Metropolitan Police
Department conducted a comprehensive review of the incident, which included interviews of
more than 60 witnesses and careful review of all crime scene evidence, ballistics reports, scene
and traffic video footage, photographs, the autopsy report, and other evidence. After a thorough
review of all the evidence, the U.S. Attorney's Office concluded that the evidence was
insufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the officers who were involved in the
shooting used excessive force or possessed the requisite criminal intent at the time of the events.
The investigation covered a chain of events that took place on Thursday, Oct. 3, 2013,
between 2:13 p.m. and 2:20 p.m., a time span of just seven minutes. During that period, Ms.
Carey confronted officers at three locations one at the White House and two near the Capitol.
At 2:13 p.m., Ms. Carey, 34, of Stamford, Conn., drove into a well-marked, restricted
White House checkpoint at 15th and E Streets NW, without authorization and without stopping.
After seeing Ms. Carey refuse to stop at the direction of two uniformed Secret Service officers,
an off-duty U.S. Secret Service officer placed a metal bike rack in her path to block Ms. Carey's
exit. Ms. Carey then struck the bike rack, and the off-duty Secret Service officer who was

standing behind it, knocking both the bike rack and the officer onto the ground. The incident at
the White House checkpoint lasted about 30 seconds.
Ms. Carey then drove down Pennsylvania Avenue at speeds estimated at 40-80 mph,
while weaving through traffic, and ignoring red lights.
Four minutes after leaving the White House checkpoint, Ms. Carey arrived at Garfield
Circle, one of two traffic circles in front of the U.S. Capitol. She drove into the circle going
against the flow of traffic, almost hitting another vehicle head-on. Ms. Carey then turned her
vehicle towards the permanently-affixed black barriers that block vehicular traffic on the
pedestrian walkway that leads to the steps of the U.S. Capitol. The pursuing law enforcement
officers blocked Ms. Carey's exit from the left, right and rear of her vehicle, attempted to open
her locked doors, and issued multiple commands for her to exit the vehicle. Ms. Carey then put
her vehicle in reverse and rammed the marked cruiser that was positioned behind her vehicle.
After ramming the cruiser, Ms. Carey drove forward onto the sidewalk, forcing officers
to run out of Ms. Carey's path to avoid being struck by her vehicle. It was at this point, as Ms.
Carey drove on the sidewalk between the wall that borders the U.S. Capitol lawn and the tree
boxes on the sidewalk, that two U.S. Secret Service police officers and a U.S. Capitol Police
officer fired eight rounds at Ms. Carey. Investigators do not believe that Ms. Carey was hit by
any of these rounds. Ms. Carey then drove back around Garfield Circle, against the flow of
traffic, and headed towards Constitution Avenue. The incident at Garfield Circle lasted
approximately 35 seconds.
The U.S. Capitol, the U.S. Supreme Court, and other buildings within the Capitol square
were put on lockdown in response to the "shots fired" report. With continued reckless and
evasive driving, Ms. Carey traveled along the north side of the Capitol and headed towards the
Senate and House office buildings. A U.S. Capitol Police officer who was responding to the
scene in his cruiser slammed into one of the barriers that had just been raised in response to the
lockdown order, causing what sounded like an explosion that was later reported by witnesses.
The cruiser was totaled and the officer had to be airlifted to the hospital for treatment of his
injuries.
Approximately one minute after the shooting at Garfield Circle, Ms. Carey arrived at the
manned U.S. Capitol Police Truck Interdiction Point at 2nd Street and Maryland Avenue NE.
With raised barriers blocking her path, Ms. Carey made a sharp left, drove up a curb, over the
center median, and struck an unmarked Supreme Court police officer's vehicle that had stopped
in front of the Hart office building. After ignoring multiple commands given by officers who
were running towards her vehicle with guns drawn, Ms. Carey revved her engine and then
reversed her vehicle and drove directly at a U.S. Capitol Police officer who was approaching Ms.
Carey's vehicle from behind. As the U.S. Capitol Police officer ran towards the median to avoid
being struck by Ms. Carey's vehicle, he and another officer from the U.S. Secret Service (who
also had fired shots at the Garfield Circle location) started firing. The two officers fired nine
rounds each. Twenty seconds after Ms. Carey had arrived at the 2nd and Maryland location, her
vehicle crashed into the kiosk and came to rest. Ms. Carey was unconscious at this time, and did
not get out of the vehicle. No additional rounds were fired by officers after the crash.

After the shooting and after Ms. Carey's vehicle crashed into the kiosk and came to rest,
the officers on the scene discovered that there was a young child in the vehicle. They carried the
child from the car. The child, who was not seriously injured, was taken to a hospital.
Medical personnel arrived on the scene and attempted to revive Ms. Carey. She was
transported to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Ms. Carey sustained five gunshot
wounds to her neck and torso area, one of which was fatal. She was not under the influence of
illegal drugs or alcohol, and no weapon was recovered from inside her vehicle.
Under the applicable federal criminal civil rights laws, prosecutors must establish beyond
a reasonable doubt not only that an officer's use of force was excessive, but also that the officer
willfully deprived an individual of a constitutional right. Proving "willfulness" is a heavy
burden, and means that it must be proven that the officer acted with the deliberate and specific
intent to do something the law forbids. Accident, mistake, fear, negligence and bad judgment do
not establish such a criminal violation. After a careful, thorough and independent review of the
evidence, federal prosecutors have found insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable
doubt that these officers used excessive force under the circumstances known to them at the time
or that they acted with the requisite criminal intent. Accordingly, the investigation into this
incident has been closed without prosecution.
The Justice Department remains committed to investigating allegations of excessive force
by law enforcement officers and will continue to devote the resources necessary to ensure that all
allegations of serious civil rights violations are fully and completely investigated.

AMENDED ALLEGED FACTS OF THE CLAIMS'
13.

Decedent Miriam Iris Carey was traveling in her 2010 Infiniti G37XS Coupe,

vicinity of 15th Street NW and E Street NW, located next to President's Park, one of the White
House Complex gate entrances.
14.

Decedent Miriam Iris Carey was legally operating the vehicle, her minor child

EF was seated in a child safety seat in the rear of the vehicle.


15.

According to the Application for A Search Warrant, filed in the United States

' This administrative claim details information available at the time of filing. Claimants' reserve the right to
amend this administrative claim for consideration during the presentment and investigation phase to the United
States of America; United States Secret Service Uniform Division and United States Capitol Police based upon
newly discovered facts.

District Court for the District of Columbia dated October 4, 2013, decedent Miriam Iris Carey
entered the aforementioned area approximately 2:18 P.M. According to the Press Release
issued by the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia dated July 10, 2014,
Decedent Miriam Iris Carey entered the aforementioned area approximately 2:13 P.M.
16.

The actual timeline and other facts throughout this matter are open questions.

The actual timeline and other facts will be crystalized if the claims are not adjusted, once a
federal complaint is filed and discovery commences.
17.

Claimants' allege decedent Miriam Iris Carey being unfamiliar with the area,

mistakenly drove past the first guard post at the White House Complex gate entrance because
the entrance was negligently maintained, covered and supervised by police officers,
supervisors and managers assigned to the United States Secret Service Uniform Division.
18.

Claimants' allege decedent Miriam Iris Carey committed no crime, as

mistakenly entering the White House Complex is not violative of any federal or District of
Columbia statute.
19.

Claimants' allege if decedent Miriam Iris Carey lived, the United States Secret

Service Uniform Division would have presumably asserted with the unfettered support of the
United States Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, specious baseless legal claims
she violated 22-3302(b) Unlawful entry on property.
20.

Claimants' allege the problem is decedent Miriam Iris Carey did not have the

requisite mens rea to violate this section of the law, as an objective analysis of her actions
indicated she never intentionally entered the White House Complex then "refuse to quit the
same on the demand of the lawful occupant or his agent" within the meaning of the statute.
21.

Claimants' allege there is nothing in the Application for A Search Warrant,

filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia dated October 4, 2013, or
the Press Release issued by the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia
dated July 10, 2014, that indicates decedent Miriam Iris Carey entered the White House
Complex then "refuse to quit the same on the demand of the lawful occupant or his agent;"
therefore, there was NO PROBABLE CAUSE decedent Miriam Iris Carey violated 223302(b), much less convict her BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.
22.

Claimants' allege it is important to note, after the original federal tort claims

were filed, on May 7, 2014, Mathew E. Goldstein, a Caucasian Male, was accused of violating
22-3302(b), when he drove directly behind a presidential motorcade through the White
House Complex gate at the intersection of 17th Street NW and Pennsylvania Avenue NW.
23.

Claimants' allege despite Mathew E. Goldstein's alleged transgression, he was

not aggressively pursued and fired upon by police officers, supervisors and managers of the
United States Secret Service Uniform Division.
24.

Claimants' allege the aforementioned further supports their theory the gates

surrounding the White House Complex are negligently maintained, covered and supervised by
police officers, supervisors and managers assigned to the United States Secret Service
Uniform Division.
25.

Claimants' allege mistaken entries occurred in the past and will continue to

occur because the White House Complex gates are negligently maintained, covered and
supervised by police officers, supervisors and managers assigned to the United States Secret
Service Uniform Division.
26.

Claimants' allege after realizing her innocent mistake, decedent Miriam Iris

Carey made a U-turn to leave the area heading a short distance eastbound on E Street NW

back towards 15th Street NW.


27.

Claimants' allege for some inexplicable reason, instead of simply allowing

decedent Miriam Iris Carey to leave the area, an unidentified aggressive Caucasian Male in
dark clothed civilian attire, without provocation or legal justification, intentionally, negligently
and recklessly grabbed a metal police barrier and threw himself in front of her vehicle.
28.

Claimants' allege this unidentified aggressive Caucasian Male has a cooler in

his left hand.


29.

Claimants' allege according to the Press Release, this unidentified aggressive

Caucasian Male is an off-duty United States Secret Service officer.


30.

Claimants' allege decedent Miriam Iris Carey simply panicked, then tried to

avoid this unidentified aggressive Caucasian Male by using evasive action going around him,
but since the area is confined, he made contact with her vehicle.
31.

Claimants' allege decedent Miriam Iris Carey had committed no crime, thus the

police had no legal basis to stop her or use any amount of physical force against her.
32.

Claimants' allege this unidentified aggressive Caucasian Male's actions slightly

damaged her vehicle, more importantly, completely startled her, which endangered her safety
as well as Claimant No.: 3, her minor child EF and public.
33.

Claimants' allege after this unidentified aggressive Caucasian Male made

contact with her vehicle, she continued driving through the White House Complex gate to
protect herself and Claimant No.: 3, her minor child EF headed eastbound on Pennsylvania
Avenue NW.
34.

Claimants' allege now completely agitated, the unidentified aggressive

Caucasian Male wanted to 'make that bitch pay' so he along with on-duty police officers,

supervisors and managers in government motor vehicles began to pursue decedent Miriam Iris
Carey and Claimant No.: 3, her minor child EF at high speeds endangering their lives and the
public.
35.

Claimants' allege this unidentified aggressive Caucasian Male with the intent to

`make that bitch pay' he, other police officers, supervisors and managers inconsistent with
their police training, failed to terminate pursuing decedent Miriam Iris Carey and Claimant
No.: 3, her minor child EF.
36.

Claimants' allege the risk to them, the public, the police officers, supervisors

and managers outweighed the benefit of investigating a harmless mistaken entrance through
the White House Complex gate.
37.

Claimants' allege the United States Secret Service Uniform Division Executive

Police Management along with radio dispatchers, inconsistent with their police training, failed
to order this unidentified aggressive Caucasian Male, police officers, supervisors and
managers immediately to terminate pursuing decedent Miriam Iris Carey and Claimant No.: 3,
her minor child EF.
38.

Claimants' allege the risk to them, the public, the police officers, supervisors

and managers outweighed the benefit of investigating a harmless mistaken entrance through
the White House Complex gate.

supervisors and managers in government motor vehicles.

40.

and the United States Capitol Police engaged pursuing decedent Miriam Iris Carey's vehicle.
41.

Carey made a left turn heading eastbound on Maryland Avenue SW and struck a curb near 10
Maryland Avenue SW near the James A. Garfield Memorial after being forced over by the
unidentified aggressive Caucasian Male, police officers, supervisors and managers in
government motor vehicles.
42.

Male along with other police officers, supervisors and managers from the United States Secret
Service Uniformed Division and the United States Capitol Police without establishing firearms

76.

77.

Claimants' allege the unidentified aggressive Caucasian Male along with other

police officers, supervisors and managers from the United States Secret Service Uniformed
Division and the United States Capitol Police engaged in the aforementioned with the intent to

Effect of Am en dm ents
D.C. Law 16-306 inserted: 'The presence of a person in any private dwelling, building, or other property that is
otherwise vacant and boarded-up or otherwise secured in a manner that conveys that it is v acant and not to be
entered, or displays a no trespassing sign, shall be prima facie evidence that any person found in such property has
entered against the will of the person in legal possession of the property."
D.C. Law 18-88 rewrote the section, which had read as follows: "Any person who, without lawful authority, shall
enter, or attempt to enter, any public or private dwelling, building, or other property, or part of such dwelling,
building, or other property, against the will of the lawful occupant or of the person lawfully in charge thereof, or
being therein or thereon, without lawful authority to remain therein or thereon shall refuse to quit the same on

that conveys that it is vacant and not to be entered, or displays a no trespassing sign, shall be prima facie evidence
that any person found in such property has entered against the will of the person in legal possession of the
property."
The 2013 amendment by D.C. Law 14-317 substituted "not more than the amount set forth in 22-1c71.01" for
"not more than $1,000" in (a)(1) and (b).

POUCE REPORT: On Thursday, October 3, 2013, Detectives of the Metropolitan Police
Department's Internal Affairs Division, became involved in the investigation of a police
involved shooting.
This incident began on Thursday, October 3, 2013, at approximately Zi 8 p.m. at a vehicle
checkpoint to the White House, located at 15th and E Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C.
Members of the United States Secret Service, Uniformed Division, (hereinafter, "USSSUD), encountered the aforementioned vehicle at 15th and E Streets Northwest, Washington
D.C.. The suspect vehicle was being operated by a black female (hereinafter, 'Decedent").
Decedent refused to stop at the vehicle checkpoint and made a U-turn and began toflee in
the vehicle. A USSS-UD officer attempted to block the vehicle with a bicycle rack,
however, the vehicle pushed over the bicycle rack, knocking the officer to the ground.
Officers from the USSS-UD initiated a pursuit of the suspect vehicle. Decedent was
observed operating the vehicle erratically, violating several District of Columbia traffic
regulations. Decedent entered a traffic circle against the flow of traffic and drove onto a
curb in front of #10 Maryland Avenue, Southwest, Washington DC. The suspect
vehicle was immediately surrounded by officers from the USSS-UD, and United States
Capitol Police (hereinafter, NUSCP'). Decedent then drove the suspect vehicle in
reverse, striking a USSS-UD police vehicle. Members from both USSS-UD and USCP
then discharged their service weapons at the vehicle. Decedent then drove the suspect
vehicle off the curb, traveling northbound on First Street, Northeast and then eastbound
in the 100 block of Constitution Avenue, Northeast, Washington, D.C. Officers from
USSS-UD and USCP pursued the suspect vehicle to 2nd Street and Constitution
Avenue, Northeast where Decedent stopped the suspect vehicle abruptly, and then

turned left and drove over a median strip. Decedent then drove in reverse in the 200
block of Maryland Avenue, Northeast, where Decedent again refused to stop.
At this point, officers from both USSS-UD and USCP fired several rounds into the
suspect vehicle, striking Decedent. The vehicle came to rest on the median area
directly behind the guard's booth on the United States Capitol grounds.
Decedent, along with an uninjured child, were removed from the vehicle. Decedent was
transported to the Washington Hospital Center where she was pronounced dead by Dr.
Christine Trankiem of the medical staff. Decedent's remains were transported to the
Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for the District of Columbia pending an autopsy.
The suspect vehicle was recovered as evidence and has remained in police custody.
Based on the above facts and circumstances, your affiant believes that the vehicle
described above is of evidentiary value and may contain physical evidence such as
expended bullets or bullet fragments fired by the officers; vehicle ownership paperwork;
maps, documents, and/or photographs of, or pertaining to, the White House; alcohol or
drugs (legal or illegal); and/or evidence of a mechanical malfunction or lack thereof may
be inside the suspect vehicle.
Your affiant respectfully requests that a District Court Search Warrant be issued for the
entire vehicle known as a 2010 Nissan Infiniti G37XS, VIN#JN1CV6EL413M261683,

U.S. Attorney's Office Concludes Investigation


Into the Death of Miriam Carey
No Charges to Be Filed in Shooting Near U.S. Capitol
WASHINGTON The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia announced
today that there is insufficient evidence to pursue federal criminal civil rights or local charges
against officers from the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police who were involved in the
fatal shooting of Miriam Carey on Oct. 3, 2013, just blocks from the U.S. Capitol.
Officials from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia notified Ms.
Carey's family and their representatives of this decision today.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia and the Metropolitan Police
Department conducted a comprehensive review of the incident, which included interviews of
more than 60 witnesses and careful review of all crime scene evidence, ballistics reports, scene
and traffic video footage, photographs, the autopsy report, and other evidence. After a thorough
review of all the evidence, the U.S. Attorney's Office concluded that the evidence was
insufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the officers who were involved in the
shooting used excessive force or possessed the requisite criminal intent at the time of the events.
The investigation covered a chain of events that took place on Thursday, Oct. 3, 2013,
between 2:13 p.m. and 2:20 p.m., a time span of just seven minutes. During that period, Ms.
Carey confronted officers at three locations one at the White House and two near the Capitol.
At 2:13 p.m., Ms. Carey, 34, of Stamford, Conn., drove into a well-marked, restricted
White House checkpoint at 15th and E Streets NW, without authorization and without stopping.
After seeing Ms. Carey refuse to stop at the direction of two uniformed Secret Service officers,
an off-duty U.S. Secret Service officer placed a metal bike rack in her path to block Ms. Carey's
exit. Ms. Carey then struck the bike rack, and the off-duty Secret Service officer who was

standing behind it, knocking both the bike rack and the officer onto the ground. The incident at
the White House checkpoint lasted about 30 seconds.
Ms. Carey then drove down Pennsylvania Avenue at speeds estimated at 40-80 mph,
while weaving through traffic, and ignoring red lights.
Four minutes after leaving the White House checkpoint, Ms. Carey arrived at Garfield
Circle, one of two traffic circles in front of the U.S. Capitol. She drove into the circle going
against the flow of traffic, almost hitting another vehicle head-on. Ms. Carey then turned her
vehicle towards the permanently-affixed black barriers that block vehicular traffic on the
pedestrian walkway that leads to the steps of the U.S. Capitol. The pursuing law enforcement
officers blocked Ms. Carey's exit from the left, right and rear of her vehicle, attempted to open
her locked doors, and issued multiple commands for her to exit the vehicle. Ms. Carey then put
her vehicle in reverse and rammed the marked cruiser that was positioned behind her vehicle.
After ramming the cruiser, Ms. Carey drove forward onto the sidewalk, forcing officers
to run out of Ms. Carey's path to avoid being struck by her vehicle. It was at this point, as Ms.
Carey drove on the sidewalk between the wall that borders the U.S. Capitol lawn and the tree
boxes on the sidewalk, that two U.S. Secret Service police officers and a U.S. Capitol Police
officer fired eight rounds at Ms. Carey. Investigators do not believe that Ms. Carey was hit by
any of these rounds. Ms. Carey then drove back around Garfield Circle, against the flow of
traffic, and headed towards Constitution Avenue. The incident at Garfield Circle lasted
approximately 35 seconds.
The U.S. Capitol, the U.S. Supreme Court, and other buildings within the Capitol square
were put on lockdown in response to the "shots fired" report. With continued reckless and
evasive driving, Ms. Carey traveled along the north side of the Capitol and headed towards the
Senate and House office buildings. A U.S. Capitol Police officer who was responding to the
scene in his cruiser slammed into one of the barriers that had just been raised in response to the
lockdown order, causing what sounded like an explosion that was later reported by witnesses.
The cruiser was totaled and the officer had to be airlifted to the hospital for treatment of his
injuries.
Approximately one minute after the shooting at Garfield Circle, Ms. Carey arrived at the
manned U.S. Capitol Police Truck Interdiction Point at 2nd Street and Maryland Avenue NE.
With raised barriers blocking her path, Ms. Carey made a sharp left, drove up a curb, over the
center median, and struck an unmarked Supreme Court police officer's vehicle that had stopped
in front of the Hart office building. After ignoring multiple commands given by officers who
were running towards her vehicle with guns drawn, Ms. Carey revved her engine and then
reversed her vehicle and drove directly at a U.S. Capitol Police officer who was approaching Ms.
Carey's vehicle from behind. As the U.S. Capitol Police officer ran towards the median to avoid
being struck by Ms. Carey's vehicle, he and another officer from the U.S. Secret Service (who
also had fired shots at the Garfield Circle location) started firing. The two officers fired nine
rounds each. Twenty seconds after Ms. Carey had arrived at the 2nd and Maryland location, her
vehicle crashed into the kiosk and came to rest. Ms. Carey was unconscious at this time, and did
not get out of the vehicle. No additional rounds were fired by officers after the crash.

After the shooting and after Ms. Carey's vehicle crashed into the kiosk and came to rest,
the officers on the scene discovered that there was a young child in the vehicle. They carried the
child from the car. The child, who was not seriously injured, was taken to a hospital.
Medical personnel arrived on the scene and attempted to revive Ms. Carey. She was
transported to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Ms. Carey sustained five gunshot
wounds to her neck and torso area, one of which was fatal. She was not under the influence of
illegal drugs or alcohol, and no weapon was recovered from inside her vehicle.
Under the applicable federal criminal civil rights laws, prosecutors must establish beyond
a reasonable doubt not only that an officer's use of force was excessive, but also that the officer
willfully deprived an individual of a constitutional right. Proving "willfulness" is a heavy
burden, and means that it must be proven that the officer acted with the deliberate and specific
intent to do something the law forbids. Accident, mistake, fear, negligence and bad judgment do
not establish such a criminal violation. After a careful, thorough and independent review of the
evidence, federal prosecutors have found insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable
doubt that these officers used excessive force under the circumstances known to them at the time
or that they acted with the requisite criminal intent. Accordingly, the investigation into this
incident has been dosed without prosecution.
The Justice Department remains committed to investigating allegations of excessive force
by law enforcement officers and will continue to devote the resources necessary to ensure that all
allegations of serious civil rights violations are fully and completely investigated.

The Honorable Jeh Johnson.
Secretary, Department of Homeland Security
Washington, DC 20393
Dear Secretary Johnson:
We write in response to your memorandum dated October 10, 2014 requesting our
independent assessment and recommendations for the security of the White House compound,
recommendation of candidates to be the next Director of the Secret Service and subjects for
further review.
The Panel immediately began reviewing documents, receiving briefings, and identifying
a list of persons to be interviewed. The Panel received fill' cooperation from the Secret Service,
DHS, and the White House, as well as numerous other state and federal agencies and individuals
who offered their time and insight into a multitude of issues. We met with approximately 50
employees of the Secret Service itselfofficers and agents currently in service, junior and midlevel managers and Assistant Directors, officials from headquarters and field offices, agency
leadership, and a number of the agency's past directors and other former agents. The Panel felt it
was critical to receive extensive information from experts outside the Service who were engaged
in missions similar to the Service, had expertise in management of law enforcement or security
agencies, or were involved in the development or deployment of protective technology.
Ultimately, the Panel met with over 120 representatives and leaders from a broad array of federal
agencies and research facilities, as well as with representatives of major metropolitan police and
security forces.
The enclosed report seeks to provide a roadmap for reform that a new director and newly
invigorated Secret Service will need to implement. We believe that the Secret Service must
commit itself to the kind of utmsfonnative, continuing change discussed in this Report.

Executive Summary
to
Report from the
United States Secret Service
Protective Mission Panel
to the
Secretary of Homeland Security

DECEMBER 15, 2014

This page intentionally left blank.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY'
The paramount mission of the United States Secret Serviceprotecting the President and
other high-ranking national officialsallows no tolerance for error. A single miscue, or even a
split-second delay, could have disastrous consequences for the Nation and the world. The men
and women of the Secret Service fulfill one of the most important obligations in this country, and
they do so often with no personal recognition, no desire for fame, and modest compensation. We
know special agents of the United States Secret Service as the silent figures around the President,
but we tend to notice them only in the extraordinarily rare moments when they fail. Most
Americans know little of the work of the Secret Service's Uniformed Division and do not realize
that it is the Uniformed Division that plays a primary role in the protection of the White House.
Throughout its work, the Protective Missions Panel ("the Panel") developed an even
greater appreciation than each of us had previously for the work of the Secret Service. From our
meetings at the highest levels of the Secret Service, to meetings with line agents and officers, we
saw individuals who were unwavering in their passion and dedication to duty. In discussions
with others inside and outside of the U.S. government, including other law enforcement agencies
and the U.S. military, there was agreement that, when it comes to providing personal protection
to a chief executive and others, the Secret Service is without peer. Facing constant threats and
charged with guarding the world's most powerful and visible head of state and the most
accessible executive mansion of any large nation, the Secret Service has an extraordinary track
record of success. This is not to say that the Secret Service does not make mistakes. But we owe
the agents, officers, and line personnel of the Secret Service a debt of gratitude.
For an organization that has a zero-failure mission, however, a commitment to constant
improvement and a refusal to compromise are essential. The Secret Service must be prepared to
face every evolving threat in a rapidly changing environment and to stay constantly ahead of
those who could threaten the White House, the President, and other protecteesincluding the
First Family, the Vice-President, and foreign heads of state. That central mission requires a
dynamic organization that constantly evaluates its performance and seeks to improve, with
leaders able to take the agency to that higher level of performance. It requires personnel who are
not only committed to the mission and of great character and ability, but who are also highly
trained and innovative. And it requires deployment of the best available technology to augment
the talents and training of the men and women of the Secret Service.
The Panel was established following the events of September 19, 2014, when a lone
individual leapt over the White House fence, onto the North Lawn, and ultimately into the White
House itself. This Panel's mandate was not to redo the report prepared by Department of
Homeland Security ("DHS") Deputy Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas ("Mayorkas Report"), which
makes specific fmdings related to the September 19 fence jumping incident, but to accept its
findings and undertake a broader review of the Secret Service's protection of the White House
compound.

On December 15, the United States Secret Service Protective Mission Panel submitted its full Report to the
Secretary of Homeland Security for review. This Executive Summary provides a high-level overview of our
independent assessments and recommendations to the Secretary.

The Panel enjoyed full cooperation from the Secret Service, DHS, and the White House,
as well as numerous other state and federal agencies and individuals who offered their time and
insight into a multitude of issues. We met with approximately 50 employees of the Secret
Service itselfofficers and agents currently in service, junior and mid-level managers and
Assistant Directors, officials from headquarters and field offices, agency leadership, and a
number of the agency's past directors and other former agents. The Panel thanks Acting Director
Joe Clancy for this cooperation and for all that he has already done to put the Secret Service back
on the right course.
The Panel also felt it was critical to receive extensive information from experts outside
the Service who were engaged in missions similar to the Service, had expertise in management
of law enforcement or security agencies, or were involved in the development or deployment of
protective technology. Ultimately, the Panel met with over 120 representatives and leaders from
a broad array of federal agencies and research facilities, as well as with representatives of major
metropolitan police and security forces. Among government agencies alone, in addition to
Secret Service and White House personnel, the Panel met with representatives of the Central
Intelligence Agency; the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency; the Department of
Defense's Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate; the Defense Threat Reduction Agency; the
Federal Bureau of Investigation Security Division and Washington Field Office; the Department
of Homeland Security's Office of Cybersecurity and Communications, Federal Protective
Service, Office of the Chief Financial Officer, Office of the General Counsel, Office of
Infrastructure Protection, Office of the Inspector General, Office of Operations, Coordination,
and Planning, the Science and Technology Directorate's Homeland Security Advanced Research
Projects Agency, and the Transportation Security Administration; the U.S. Marine Corps; the
U.S. Marshal Service; the U.S. Navy; the U.S. Park Police; the Pentagon Force Protection
Agency; Sandia National Laboratories; and the Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic
Security. The Panel also met with, among others, local law enforcement agencies that often
partner with the Secret Service.
Our review and recommendations fall within three general areas: training and personnel;
perimeter security, technology, and operations; and leadership. A number of the
recommendations go directly to issues highlighted by the events of September 19. Among other
things, the Panel believes strongly that the fence around the White House needs to be changed as
soon as possible to provide better protection. We recognize all of the competing considerations
that may go into questions regarding the fence, but believe that protection of the President and
the White House must be the higher priority. As the Executive Branch, Congress, and the
Service itself have all recognized, the fence must be addressed immediately.
A better fence can provide time, and time is crucial to the protective mission. Every
additional second of response time provided by a fence that is more difficult to climb makes a
material difference in ensuring the President's safety and protecting the symbol that is the White
House. Additionally, the ease with which "pranksters" and the mentally ill can climb the current
fence puts Secret Service personnel in a precarious position: When someone jumps the fence,
they must decide, in a split-second, whether to use lethal force on a person who may not actually
pose a viable threat to the President or the White House. By deterring these more frivolous

threats, a more effective fence can minimize the instances when such difficult decision making is
required.
We decline to say precisely what the optimal new fence should look like. Importantly,
designers of the new fence must balance security concerns with the long and storied tradition of
the White House being the "People's House." These historical, symbolic, and aesthetic factors
deserve consideration, but ultimately they should not be permitted to delay or prevent a fence
that could save lives. A number of common-sense improvements should be explored. For sure,
the fence must be taller; even an increase of four or five feet would be materially helpful.
Horizontal bars, where climbers can easily place feet or hands, should be eliminated or placed
where they provide little assistance. The top of the fence can also be manipulated in certain
wayssuch as including curvature outward at the top of the fenceto make scaling it much
more difficult for most. Any of these adjustments, the Panel is certain, can be made without
diminishing the aesthetic beauty or historic character of the White House grounds.
But the problems exposed by recent events go deeper than a new fence can fix. The
Panel thus looked more broadly at the Service, recognizing that issues affecting the Service's
protective operations more generally have their greatest impact on protection of the White House
and President. Of the many concerns the Panel encountered, the question of leadership is, in our
view, the most important. The Panel found an organization starved for leadership that rewards
innovation and excellence and demands accountability. From agents to officers to supervisors,
we heard a common desire: More resources would help, but what we really need is leadership.
Consistent with Secretary Johnson's directive, the Panel considered the qualities needed
in a new director for the Service, as well as the next management team. The Panel has concluded
that the Service needs strong, new leadership that can drive change within the organization.
While we believe the right person could come from many different backgrounds and believe that
leadership qualities are more important than any particular background, we think the right person
should come from outside the Service. We know that many in the Service today would argue
that its unique protective mission can only be understood and managed by someone who has
served within its ranks. The Panel appreciates the virtue of experience in the Service, but we
believe that at this time in the agency's history, the need for Service experience is outweighed by
what the Service needs today: dynamic leadership that can move the Service forward into a new
era and drive change in the organization. The next director will have to make difficult choices,
identifying clear priorities for the organization and holding management accountable for any
failure to achieve those priorities. Only a director from outside the Service, removed from
organizational traditions and personal relationships, will be able to do the honest top-to-bottom
reassessment this will require. Finally, this will also require support from a management team
that combines diverse strengthsincluding those in the Service as well as those from outside,
those with special agent or law enforcement training, and those with other professional
backgrounds.
The new leader will need to help the Secret Service learn to improve itself by listening to
the outside. The Panel heard one common critique from those inside and outside the Service:
The Service is too insular. The Secret Service is justifiably proud of its preeminence and its
history. But the Secret Service could benefit greatly from reaching outside itself to other entities,
3

here and abroad, that share a similar mission or have knowledge and skills that would be
valuable to the Secret Service. The Panel spent significant time interviewing leaders inside and
outside the federal government who are experts in technology and protection of physical
locations, and the Service could benefit greatly from long-term consistent engagement with these
types of complementary experts. Such engagement should include regular and hard-edged
evaluations of the Service itself, as well as its methods; this kind of constant evaluation and
improvement needs to become part of the Secret Service's culture.
The next director also needs to help the Secret Service be clear about its priorities, and
there should be no doubt about what comes first. The agency exists to protect the President and
its other very high-level protectees. Yet the Secret Service has sometimes acted in ways that
send mixed signals on a number of fronts. While promoting other capacities might help bring
resources into the agency, the new leadership needs to think carefully about how the agency's
core priorities are implemented up and down the organisation, and focus on improving them.
The new leader will also need to reform the Secret Service's administrative capabilities.
If the Secret Service is to remain the best in the world and defeat its adversaries every time, it has
to be the best in every facet of the game. An agency that needs the best agents and officers on
the front lines needs a hiring process run by human resources experts valued for their specialized
knowledge about how to recruit and retain talent, in a timely and efficient manner. An agency
that needs to be three steps ahead of those who would do its protectees harm needs more of the
best and most innovative scientists and engineers dreaming up ways to defeat the next threat.
And an agency that needs to spend every penny wisely needs an administrative department that
can demonstrate with rigorous precision why additional resources are necessary and knows how
to budget for it.
Finally, the next director will need to help strengthen a culture of accountability. The
organization asks its protective agents to stand in front of a bullet to protect the President. It
expects its Uniform Division officers to maintain high alertness at every moment of a long shift.
It requires its advance teams to scour massive new venues for the smallest weakness. The
agency's zero-failure mission requires that its high standards be met. In order for the Service's
agents and officers to meet its high standards, they must see that the organization itself believes
in its standards and enforces them in a consistent, evenhanded manner. In other words, agency
leadership, managers, and front line supervisors must believe and show that they are accountable
for their mission. These are not just morale issues, or issues of fairness or trust. Accountability
creates the culture of performance that the Secret Service needs to meet its zero-failure mission.
The necessary changes will thus require strong leadership, but they will also require
resources. The Secret Service is stretched to and, in many cases, beyond its limits. Perhaps the
Service's greatest strengththe commitment of its personnel to sacrifice and do the job "no
matter what"has had unintended consequences. Special agents and Uniformed Division
personnel protecting the White House work an unsustainable number of hours. Rather than
invest in systems to manage the organization more effectively and accurately predict its needs,
the Service simply adds more overtime for existing personnel. Rather than sending its agents
and officers to training, it keeps them at their posts.

The Panel found that, due in large part to limitations on personnel, the Service's training
regimen has diminished far below acceptable levels. The Presidential Protective Division's
("PPD") so-called "Fourth Shift" had once ensured that for two weeks out of every eight, the
President's detail was maintaining its strength, practicing, and getting better. But Secret Service
reports show that in FY 2013, apart from firearms re-qualifications and basic career development
technical requirements, the average special agent received only forty-two hours of training. The
Uniformed Division has never trained at the level of PPD, but today training for the Uniformed
Division has also fallen below acceptable levels. In FY 2013, Service data shows that the
Uniformed Division as a whole received 576 hours of training, or about 25 minutes for each of
over 1300 Uniformed Division officers. We believe that the Secret Service should be staffed at a
level that enables it to provide a true Fourth Shift for training to its Presidential Protective
Division and Vice-Presidential Protective Division special agents, and to ensure that Uniformed
Division officers are in training for no less than 10% of their time.
Providing more time for training requires increased staffing, but the Secret Service needs
more agents and officers even beyond the levels required to allow for in-service training. The
President and other protectees cannot receive the best possible protection when agents and
officers are deployed for longer and longer hours with fewer and fewer days off. For years, the
Service has taken on additional missionsin both its protective and investigative rolesbut has
not matched its request for additional resources to those expanded missions. The Service has to
increase the number of agents and, to an even greater extent, increase the size of the Uniformed
Division to ensure protection of the White House. We think that a new director should give
serious consideration to whether there are collateral or non-essential missions that can be shed,
though we believe the Service's investigative mission provides benefits to its protective mission.
We also recognize that the new director must carefully manage the Service's other missions to
ensure adequate resources are available to protection. But under any scenario, the Service has to
increase significantly in size.
This Report attempts to quantify the additional personnel needed, but the Panel has been
hamstrung to some extent by the lack of complete data. Put simply, the Service does not have
systems in place to make the most prudent budgeting choices. Like so many agencies, the
Service has, for years, looked at its base budget and tried to ballpark how much more it might be
able to get through the OMB and congressional processes. The result, however, is that no one
has really looked at how much the mission, done right, actually costs. That is why one of our
most important recommendations is that a new director start with a zero-based budget. Forget
about what the Service has asked for in the past: Define the mission, and make the argument to
policy makers in the Executive Branch and Congress that this sumwhich we believe to be
more than current appropriationsis needed. As an interim step, the Panel recommends that
Congress and the Executive Branch work together to ensure appropriations sufficient for an
additional 85 special agents and 200 Uniformed Division officers; the Panel believes this is a
first step, but likely not the last step, to ensure adequate training and personnel for the White
House.
The Panel also reviewed a variety of physical security and operational issues at the White
House, and makes a number of recommendations about the ongoing security of the compound.
Aspects of this discussion are classified, and the Panel believes strongly that operational issues
5

related to the protection of the White House should not be the subject of detailed public debate in
this Report or any other fora. The events of September 19 highlighted a number of potential
vulnerabilities that need to be addressed quickly. Fortunately, those events have served as a call
to action for the Service.

Many of the recommendations set forth below are not new. Indeed, some of them
precisely echo recommendations that the White House Security Review made in 1995 ("1995
Security Review") but that remain concerns today. Others even harken back to
recommendations made in the Warren Commission Report following the assassination of
President Kennedy. And still others track internal recommendations made by the Service. As
the Secret Service itself has recognized, the Service has often made recommendations and
proposed solutions as it identified problems, but has frequently failed to implement its own
recommendations.
Some of the changes address isolated problems, with well-defined options to solve them,
while others will require far more study by, we hope, a dynamic, new management team that will
lead the Service into the future. Following September 19, the Service began implementing a
number of reforms, and those efforts have continued alongside the Panel's work.
Finally, the Panel recognizes that many of these recommendations will be difficult.
Many will cost money, which is always a challenge in Washington D.C. We are mindful of the
current budget climate and the value of taxpayer dollars, and we would not recommend spending
a penny unwisely.
Many others will require strong leadership and a will to change, which can be difficult for
an organization with such a storied history. Some in the Secret Service will resist and may need
to move on. But the Secret Service cannot lose focus on its core and essential mission: the
protection of the current, past, and future Presidents of the United States. As a nation, we should
not fail to make prudent investments in personnel, technology, and leadership when the stakes
are so high.

Summary of Recommendations
Training and Personnel
Provide a true "Fourth Shift" for training the Presidential and Vice-Presidential Protective
Divisions, so that they spend two weeks out of every eight in training, and ensure that
Uniformed Division ("UD") officers are in training for no less than 10% off their time: Only
with constant training can all of the teams at the White House perform the coordinated actions needed
to effectively respond.
Implement integrated training focused on ensuring that all teams at the White House know
their roles in responding to specific threats: Teams need to train with the full complement of
forces with which they will operate in real life, and the training needs to be provided force-wide, not
just to those on duty on the day that training is scheduled.
Train in conditions that replicate the physical environment in which they will operate: A
security team should also be trained so that it is intimately familiar with the space in which it is
operating.
Increase the Uniformed Division, as quickly as can be appropriately managed, by an initial 200
positions, and the Presidential Protective Division ("PPD") by 85 positions. Perform additional
analyses and, likely, further increases as necessary: Both UD and PPD are currently stretched
beyond their limits.
Reform and professionalize recruiting, hiring, promotion and rotation process that puts the
most talented, capable individuals in place as efficiently as possible: The Service must continue
efforts to develop a professionalized recruiting and hiring process that finds talented individuals,
evaluates candidates rigorously for the PPD, and hires them quickly.

Technology, Perimeter Security, and Operations!


Ensure that the Office of Technical Development and Mission Support proactively reviews and
refreshes the Service's technological footprint. The Service should receive dedicated funds for
technology, both within its own budget and within DHS Science & Technology's budget, to
accomplish these tasks: Technology systems used on the complex must always remain on the
cutting edge, and the Service must invest in technology, including becoming a driver of research and
development that may assist in its mission.
Replace the outer fence that surrounds the 18 Acres to give Secret Service personnel more time
to react to intrusions: The current seven-and-a-half-foot fence, not just along Pennsylvania Avenue
but around the compound's entire perimeter, must be replaced as quickly as possible.

Leadership
Clearly communicate agency priorities, give effect to those priorities through its actions, and
align its operations with its priorities: The Panel believes the Secret Service's leadership must
make those choices in a manner to ensure that its core protective mission remains first priority.
Promote specialized expertise in its budget, workforce, and technology functions. Filling
important administrative functions with agents rather than professional administrators may
not be optimal.
2

A number of our recommendations pertaining to technology, perimeter security, and operations contained
classified material and are thus not reproduced here.
7

Present a zero-based or mission-based budget that will provide sufficient resources to


accomplish its mission, beginning immediately by working within DEIS to adopt a workforce
staffing model: The Service must build a new budget from the ground up by defming its mission,
determining what it will take to achieve it, and asking for that. The mission is important enough to
justify that approach.
Create more opportunities for officers and agents to provide input on their mission and train its
mid- and lower-level managers to encourage, value and respond to such feedback: Leadership
and, even more critically, mid- and lower-level managers, need to make clear that their mission
requires that they get things rightand thus that the agency values information out of sync with the
status quo or the leadership's views.
Lead the federal protective force community: Collaboration with protective forces like the Federal
Protective Service, the Pentagon Force Protection Agency, the FBI Police, and the State Department's
Bureau of Diplomatic Security and other agencies, especially on technology, could significantly
increase opportunities for innovation.
Receive periodic, outside assessments of the threats to and strategies for protecting the White
House compound: The Secret Service should engage other federal agencies to evaluate the threats
that the agency faces and its ways of doing business.
Resume participation in international fora with comparable protective services of friendly
nations: While most national protective forces do not compare to the Secret Service, those of certain
nations are much more similar than they are different.
Give leadership's priorities and reforms the organization's sustained attention and hold the
agency accountable through to their completion: Following through on reforms and
recommendations has been an issue for the Service in the past.
Implement a disciplinary system in a consistent manner that demonstrates zero tolerance for
failures that are incompatible with its zero-failure mission: It is clear that the rank-and-file--and
even very senior current and former members of the Secret Servicedo not have confidence that
discipline is imposed in a fair and consistent manner.
Hold forces accountable for performance by using front-line supervisors to constantly test
readiness: To be ready for a job where quick reactions and reflexes are critical, supervisors need to
drive home to their officers and agents that the front line is constantly being tested.
The next director of the Secret Service should be a strong leader from outside the agency who
has a protective, law enforcement, or military background and who can drive cultural change
in the organization and move the Secret Service forward into a new era: The need to change,
reinvigorate, and question long-held assumptionsfrom within the agency itselfis too critical right
now for the next director to be an insider.
Establish a leadership development system that identifies and trains the agency's future
managers and leaders: To promote from within and move the agency forward, however, the Secret
Service needs to do a better job of identifying future leaders and preparing them for the role.

Sir, l am writing this in confidence since my job with the United States Capitol Police would be in
jeopardy for publicly coming forward.
I recently read online "Did She Have To Be Killed" by David Montgomery of the Washington Post, and I
felt compelled to contact you.
First, please give my condolences to the family of Ms. Miriam Carey for their loss.
While the US District attorney has failed to prosecute the officers involved in the actual shooting, I
would like you to focus on another aspect of this tragedy, one that was vaguely mentioned in the article,
the neglect of the Capitol Police.
It is well known throughout the Department that the Capitol Police were operating the "pop-up"
barriers on the Avenues without procedures in place. This is especially relevant since when Ms. Carey
was driving towards Capitol Hill, the officers operating the safety barriers would have/should have
raised these barriers, and this alone would have prevented Ms. Carey from driving up Constitution
Avenue where she was ultimately shot. While people may speculate as to the outcome, there was a
high probability Ms. Carey's vehicle would have been diverted with the proper use of the barricades
making the outcome of this much different. The fact that the Capitol Police almost killed one of their
own shows the uncertainty in which many of these officers routinely operate. There has even been talk
that the officers working these avenues did not have up-to-date training to operate these barriers,
which shows negligence on the Capitol Police. I would think your office could make the proper inquires
to get this information or by asking around the Department.
The most recent event involving the Capitol Police during the president's State of the Union address has
also brought Ms. Carey's issue to light. The fact that members of congress want to know how an armed
robbery suspect was let go by the Capitol Police while Ms. Carey ended up dead should also help in your
cause. Here they used the barriers to prevent the vehicle from entering the Capitol area, which should
have happened in Ms. Carey's incident. There have been rumors the Department is terrified of the two
cases being brought up simultaneously because it will revive interest and talk about Ms. Carey.
Whether you have to force Congress, go through the media, or demonstrate on Capitol Hill, I do hope
you continue to fight on behalf of the Carey family, especially for the child she left behind.
I am not sure if any of this will help you or benefit the family of Ms. Cary's for the loss they have
suffered.
I hope you understand my reluctance for not attaching by name.
Concerned employees
