§4314 Extraordinary protective services

Summary

The Secretary may provide extra protective security for foreign missions directly, by contract, or by working with state or local authorities when needed. They cannot use this authority for protections already covered under subsections (a)(7) and (d) of 18 U.S.C. 3056A. The Secretary can give money to state or local authorities only after deciding a threat or other situation needs security beyond what local police can handle. Each year no more than 20% of the money for these services can be used in any one State. At least 15% must be kept as a reserve for services the Secretary provides directly or for places not covered by agreements. Agreements with state or local authorities can last no more than 90 days in a calendar year but can be renewed after the Secretary reviews them. Contracts require funds that Congress has approved in advance in appropriation Acts. Money used here is not subject to section 4308(h) of this title.
