Based upon your reading of the following paragraph, what conclusions can you draw about how the development of
U. S. law enforcement agencies affects jurisdiction of those agencies?

President Abraham Lincoln signed the legislation creating the Secret Service in 1865. Created for the purpose of
policing broader frauds against the government, the Secret Service originally focused on counterfeiting. The Secret
Service also investigated smugglers, individuals perpetrating land or real-estate fraud, distillers of illegal liquor, and the
Ku Klux Klan. In 1894, the protective duties of the Secret Service began informally with agents providing part-time
protection to President Grover Cleveland. Following the assassination of President William McKinley, Congress
informally requested presidential security service. In 1902, the Secret Service assumed full time responsibility for
protecting the president and his family. In 1908, this protection was also extended to the president-elect. In 1913.
Congress authorized permanent protection of the president. Following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
the Secret Service also became responsible for protecting presidential and vice-presidential nominees and candidates,
and the widows of presidents.

The jurisdiction, or power and scope of an agency, changes to respond to law enforcement needs in new situations

The jurisdiction, or power and scope of an agency, should be precisely defined at the time of the agency's creation

A law enforcement agency can expand its jurisdiction at will

A law enforcement agency will have poorly defined responsibilities if its jurisdiction is not clearly defined from the beginning
