The Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS) is the law enforcement and
security organization of the U.S. Department of State. As such, it
is responsible for many law enforcement and security related issues
within the Department of State. One of these issues is to provide
security to American embassies, consulates, their staffs, and other
designated American interests overseas. This thesis examined the
strategy used by the Bureau of Diplomatic Security to provide
security for American civilian interests overseas and whether this
strategy remains relevant in the current threat environment. The
examination was divided into three areas: (1) the current
operational environment; (2) current DS operations; and (3) trends
influencing future DS security operations. The current operational
environment revealed a continuing threat to American civilian
interests overseas. The review of current DS operations illustrated
an organization attempting to address the current threats, but
involved in a seemingly never ending threat, counter-threat
escalation with those that wish to do harm to American civilian
interests overseas. Finally, the review of future trends revealed
DS will continue to expand its role as the Department of State
becomes involved in more non-permissive environments and
humanitarian crises.
