James Joseph Rowley

James Joseph Rowley

James Joseph Rowley (1908 - 1992) was director of the United States Secret Service between 1961 and 1973, under Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon.

An Irish-American, Rowley had in fact been working for the Secret Service since 1938 during the days of the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration after first joining the FBI in 1936. After the trauma of the John F. Kennedy assassination, Secret Service training was regularized and systematized. The Secret Service training academy in Beltsville, Maryland is named after him.
