DHS OIG: The Secret Service Did Not Identify Best Practices and Lessons Learned from the 2011 White House Shooting Incident

December 1, 2015

Pursuit's Take

The Secret Service responded immediately to a November 2011 incident in which shots fired from an assault rifle hit the White House and participated in the ensuing investigation.

After the incident, the Secret Service spent at least $17 million to improve infrastructure around the White House and increase patrols; however, without a formal after action review and detailed analysis, the Secret Service cannot be certain these changes were necessary, would have minimized the potential threat, or improved the response to the incident.
