FDLE’s Protective Operations Section has been providing protective operations for the Governor and first family since 1973. Special agents in this detail routinely work holidays, nights and weekends and must maintain the confidentiality and trust of the Governor and first family. In addition to Protective Operations providing critical protection for the Governor and first family, they also provide protection for the Governor’s office, Governor’s mansion and grounds. The Protective Operations Section is also authorized to provide protection and transportation for visiting governors and other dignitaries when requested.
The POS submits an annual report to the Governor, Legislature, and Cabinet detailing all protective and transportation services costs incurred the preceding fiscal year.
