A Diplomatic Security Service special agent stands near a Kenyan police counterpart providing security at the entrance of the United Nations compound that hosted the 6th Global Entrepreneurship Summit on July 26, 2015. That morning, some Kenyan police assigned to the UN compound were redeployed to downtown Nairobi, where President Barack Obama addressed the Kenyan people in a sports arena. To ensure adequate security during the arrival of delegates and U.S. officials, senior special agents were called out of the DS Joint Operations Center to stand guard. (U.S. Department of State)
