A new Department of Homeland Security report titled the Secret Services Counter Sniper Team is Not Staffed to meet Mission Requirements was just finalized. Here are a few of the things we learned. 1. The counter sniper team is staffed 73% below the level required to meet mission needs. From 2020 to 2024 counter snipers logged about a quarter of a million hours of overtime. That's equivalent to adding about 24 more full time positions each year. (00:34–00:42)
