Ep. #052 - Director to Directors - Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle Takes Over the Show

In a special edition of Standing Post, Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle invites three former Secret Service directors back for a quick conversation. They discuss ongoing initiatives that have spanned their tenures; some of the unique challenges they faced, including COVID response and coming in as the director without any Secret Service experience; and some of the lessons they've learned as they reminisce on their time in office.

Special thanks to all the directors -- Kim Cheatle, Jim Murray, Joe Clancy and Tex Alles -- for taking the time out of their busy schedules to come together for this.
