1910 - 1940s Archive of 4 Different Photos of White House Police Force / Secret Service Photos. From the personal collection of a former member of the White House police force that bravely protected presidents and the White House. Includes an early photo marked June 1910 before the formation of the White House Police Force, and the balance are most likely from the 1930's and 1940's. Over the decades the title of those organizations has changed but the responsibilities have not - protect the White House and the President at all cost. All are original.
In June 1910, there was no separate White House Police Force yet. The responsibility for protecting the White House and the President fell to The U.S. Secret Service and The Metropolitan Police. At that time, the White House’s visible, uniformed protection detail came from the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, D.C., who were formally assigned to guard the Executive Mansion. They were often called “White House doormen” or “police officers on White House duty.” Their primary function was to control access to the building, watch the gates and entrances, and maintain order on the grounds.
