Joining him is retired Special Agent Tony Chapa. Tony retired as the Assistant Director of the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) after being the Special Agent in Charge (SAIC) of the Los Angeles Field Office.

During the Civil War, one-third of the currency in circulation was counterfeit. In 1865 President Abraham Lincoln created the Secret Service under the Treasury Department to suppress the counterfeit and stop counterfeiters. Today the Secret Service has a dual mission of safeguarding the financial and critical infrastructure of the United States and protecting the nation’s leaders. The two core missions of investigations and protection synergize with each other. Combating counterfeit has always been the cornerstone of this elite law enforcement agency, one thing that stands the test of time is taking down counterfeiters.
