Inside the Secret Services secret NYC lair as they protect 142 world leaders during the UN Gen Assembly

This coming week, Patrick J.Freaney is the most important bodyguard on the planet.Freaney, the Special Agent in charge of the US Secret Service New York field office, and his team will be responsible for 142 of the most powerful leaders in the world and their spouses during the 79th session of the UN General Assembly.The high-pressure week in Manhattan begins and ends in a huge, airplane-like hangar where a fleet of 500 state-of-the-art SUVs equipped with varying degrees of security systems — tinted windows, emergency lights, heavy-duty engines and brakes among other accoutrements — are deployed to ferry around dignitaries and their families to the UN and all over the city.Freaney took The Post for a sneak peak — but the location of the logistics hub is kept as secret as the agency that uses it.

All we’re allowed to say is it’s in one of the five boroughs.“We are with them 24 hours a day,” Freaney said of the world leaders who come from countries as diverse as Malawi to Mongolia.“The Secret Service is responsible for them on US soil, wherever they decide to go — to a restaurant, to the theater, anywhere you can think of.

“We’ve got 142 heads of state and 71 spouses so that’s 200 protectees we are watching over in a city of 8 million.We mitigate risk the best we can.” There’s even a “decon” room for vehicles that get dirty and need a quick wash.Freaney’s aware that more eyes are on the Secret Service these days because of the recent attempted assassinations of former President Trump.But of more concern to Freaney and his team are the protests that occur every year outside the UN – and this year anti-Israel demonstrations are likely.
