Importance of Counter Sniper Division Location

The Secret Service has a dedicated counter sniper division sourced from the uniformed police officers based in Washington DC. This critical division is not deployed to events involving high-profile individuals like Donald Trump if the location is not within driving distance from DC, defined as one tank of gas or an eight-hour workday. This practice raises concerns about compromising security for cost-saving measures and highlights the significance of the division's proximity to the events they are tasked to secure.
