Meet Director Ronald Rowe

Today, Ronald Rowe, the new Acting Director of the Secret Service, is testifying to a joint bipartisan committee regarding the recent assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. Perhaps, we can hope he will be more forthcoming than his predecessor was before she resigned.

Director Rowe is a twenty-five year veteran of the Service, serving since 1999. He began his career under President Clinton, rising through the ranks under Presidents Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden. Prior to 1999, he was on the West Palm Beach Police Department.

He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Criminal Justice (1994) from the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland, and graduated from Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida, (2007) receiving a Master of Science in Administration. He has served in various leadership roles in the Secret Service since 2017.

He has also had various supervisory positions across the many departments which encompasses the service, including cybersecurity, national security, national intelligence and homeland security.

With his plethora of experience, he should be able to provide a guiding force and a calming influence to the Secret Service after the recent negative events which has caused disparagement to this elite department and which protects our Presidents and our currency. The rank and file deserve a strong leader.

And Americans need to restore its faith in the men and women assigned to these difficult tasks. Let us hope Director Rowe is that leader.
