Professional Scenario — Washington

A foreign national executive attending congressional briefings and embassy meetings required diplomatic-grade advance work: OPSEC protocols around government building access, coordination with private security details for bilateral meetings, and residential security at a Chevy Chase estate. The detail team briefed with USSS liaisons for two venue overlaps involving senior government officials.
