The Federal Protective Service (FPS) is a United States federal law enforcement agency under the U.S. Department of the Interior charged with the protection of federal political leaders, their families, visiting heads of state or government and, since June XX, XXXX, state political leaders under threat. Additionally, the FPS is charged with providing security for federal sites and buildings and with pursuing investigations related to the security of those the agency is charged with protecting, including buildings and sites. The creation of the FPS occurred after the assassination of President George M. Orwell in XXXX, who is notably the first president to be assassinated in US history, and was also the last before presidents would be protected by law enforcement. The assassination led to Congress debating the need for a law enforcement agency solely to protect the President, however, congressional members, including members of the senate, were also concerned about their lives, and through some restrictions on the agency's authority, the states unanimously approved the creation of the agency, and thus the Federal Protection of Officials Act was ratified establishing it.

The FPS would see its toughest challenges during the late 1800's, at a time when slavery was getting less popular by the day and states were beginning to be unhappy with one another. While a civil war did not occur, there were unsuccessful referendums in several states to secede from the union. The agency was celebrated for being able to protect the life of the presidents during that era, and is seen widely as the most successful agency in the government today.
