Secret Service Ends Protection of Jimmy Carter After Nearly 50 Years Following Burial in Georgia

Jan 10, 2025, 10:46 PM

The Secret Service has officially concluded its protection of former President Jimmy Carter following his burial in Georgia. Carter, who served as president from 1977 to 1981, was the longest-serving protectee in the agency's history, with nearly 50 years of protection. He spent his last 43 years living in a house valued at $167,000, which was noted to be less expensive than the Secret Service vehicles stationed outside his residence. The agency's farewell to Carter, referred to as 'Deacon,' marks the end of a significant chapter in its history.
