Criteria of competent leadership that SS Director Cheatle failed to meet

 If a presidential candidate is assassinated while under the protection of the Secret Service, several critical criteria and responsibilities would likely have been unmet by the leadership. Based on the recent case involving the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, the following are key areas where the Secret Service leadership, particularly the director, may have failed:

Operational and Security Failures

1. Risk Assessment and Threat Management:Failure to Conduct Adequate Threat Assessments:
2. Security Planning and Execution:Insufficient Security Measures:
3. Advanced Planning and Coordination:Lack of Advanced Planning:

Leadership and Accountability

4. Decision-Making and Crisis Management:Failure in Decision-Making:
5. Transparency and Accountability:Lack of Transparency:

Training and Preparedness

6. Training and Readiness:Continuous Training:

Ethical and Professional Standards

7. Ethical Conduct and Integrity:Maintaining High Ethical Standards:

In summary, the assassination of a presidential candidate under the protection of the Secret Service would indicate failures in risk assessment, security planning, coordination, decision-making, transparency, training, and ethical standards. These failures would collectively point to a significant lapse in meeting the critical criteria required for competent leadership within the Secret Service.
