Although this website doesn't have anything necessarily to do with the Miami Office, I love cops who don't know how to shut up about their work. You can read the entire thread at http://forums.officer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27969. However, a person named "Puffy" gives good information about how career progression usually goes for the SS and I reproduce his post completely in case it disappears from the Internet:
"Uniformed Division Officers support the protection responsiblities of the Secret Service, serving as the uniformed police presence around the White House, VP residence, the Secret Service Training Center and other executive level offices. Anytime you visit one of these sites, you will interact with UD Officers. A new UD Officer can expect to be assigned to one of these areas on different shifts.
In addition to protection in DC, UD Officers also travel in support of Presidential and Vice Presidential visits world wide, conducting security advances and running Magnotometers (metal detectors) at check points etc.
After about 18 to 24 months, like a regular metropolitian police department, UD Officers are eligible to tryout for specialty assignments like the elite Counter Sniper (CS) Team, the Emergency Response Team (ERT), K-9, Bike Patrol, Motorcycles, Magnotometers, etc. There is also a number of possiblities for promotion to Technician, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain etc. The pay is quite competitive, with all the overtime you can work availible. I am told that with the standard overtime an new UD Officer can expect on average to make between $55,000 to $65,000. Since all UD positions are based in Washington DC, the government will also pay to move new UD hirees to the area.
As mentioned, there is also an internal roster, for otherwise qualified Officers to transition to the Special Agent side of the house. Special Agents both support the Service's Protective mission and conduct Criminal Investigations. The types of investigations are largely federal financial crimes such as Counterfeiting, Bank Fraud, identity Theft etc. Most Special Agents are assigned to Field Offices, located throughout the United States and the world. These agents occasionaly travel in support of Presidential and VP visits as well.
After 4 to 6 years in the field, a Special Agent can expect to be assigned to a protective detail, such as the President's, VP, Former presidents etc. These details can last anywhere from 4 to 5 years in duration. Secret Service Special Agents are hired on at either the GS-5, GS-7 or GS-09 pay levels, depending on education, qualifications and previous experience. SA's progress each year (GS-5, GS-7, GS-9, GS-11, GS-12) to the GS-13 level, which is the Jorneyman grade of Special Agents in the Service. Additionally agents are paid Law Enforcement Availibilty Pay (LEAP), which is an additional 25% over base salary and Scheduled Over Time (SOT), when such time has been earned. The average new agent can expect to earn about $55,000 to $65,000, and at the GS-13 over $100,000 per year. Agents in the field are also assigned take-home government vehicles (G-rides), that agent can use while on offical business and home to work.
I hope this helps,
Puffy"
OSIN- Yes, Puffy, it helped. Thanks.
Here's an old article about the 2004 debates in Miami at http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20040929-012519-9421r.htm. It does confirm that the SS works heavily with other agencies during these events, relying on local law enforcement as well. The thing I've noticed is that the SS especially works closely with the FBI since their investigations overlap quite a bit. Oh, J. Edgar, you flaming queen. I may have to look into this relationship even further.

Apparently this office is part of a joint team called the Florida Law Enforcement Electronic Evidence Team (FLEET). The article mentions there are 15 such operations in the country with more to come.
