Secrect service personnel protects a former President and his family as long as they live. The FBI Director and the ambassadors are protected by personnel from their Security Department because they are part of the security of the state.

Bill Clinton will be the last president to receive Secret Service protection for life. All presidents after him will receive it for only ten years after leaving office including George W.
