The Association of Former Agents of the United States Secret Service was founded in 1971 to bring together former and current employees of the Secret Service for comradeship, friendship and support in time of need.

 
Members of the association include Special Agents, Technical Specialists and other support personnel who carried out the investigative and protective responsibilities of the United States Secret Service.
 
The members of the association have served honorably and with pride while performing their Secret Service responsibilities on behalf of the people of the United States.  They have provided important functions to uphold the rule of law, ensure the peaceful transition of power and protect the financial infrastructure of this country.
 
Many have died or sustained serious injuries in fulfilling their professional duties.   In their honor, the association is committed to the support of members of the Secret Service Family who have experienced severe trauma or financial need.
 
To help accomplish this support the association created a Public Foundation in 1973.   The foundation is dedicated to helping members of the Secret Service Family and other law enforcement families in time of need.  The Foundation has been able to provide over $1,000,000 in financial support since its inception.
