The profession has been recently romanticized through American films. Altogether, four American president have been assassinated and attempts have been made on the lives of others .

The first president to have been killed was Abraham Lincoln. He was shot while attending the theatre in Washington .

James Garfield was shot a few month after his inauguration and died at the age of forty nine.

William McKinley was killed in Buffalo, in New York in 1901.

John Kennedy was assassinate Dallas, Texas in 1963.

After the third assassinated in 1901, the protection of presidents was put in the hands of the US Secret Service.

Nowadays wherever a president goes he is surrounded by Secret Service guards who all have a tendency to look very similar –the unsmiling men with short haircuts and sunglasses.

There are women too, but many more men.

Their training as agents takes place at a training centre in a little town Beltsville, Maryland.

The actual training includes learning to shoot pistols, rifles and how to drive at high speeds and in minimum space.

Agents always examine the area of a proposed presidential visit. In fact, they can veto a visit if they consider it unsafe

This is Russian president with his bodyguards.

Nowadays, there is a large number of people protected by the Secret Service.

The president and vice president, former presidents and their families, visiting heads of state and spouses, other important foreign visitors and US representatives on special missions abroad. The Secret Service budget is about 500 million dollars.

The Secret Service keeps very quiet about its operations but it is of great interest to the general public. That is why there are so many books and films about secret agents.

There is a film about this job. Its called ,,Bodyguard’’. The main role is playing by Kevin Costner.

This film is about bodyguard of president which retired and began work like a bodyguard of a singer Rachel Marron

So I think that the job of bodyguard is very important and great demand in the world
