Major changes were announced for the Secret Service, Wednesday. Four high-ranking executives were reassigned after a string of security breaches.

Acting Director Joseph P. Clancy said in a statement that he was making leadership changes based on a December report from an independent panel that described the agency as "insular" and "starved for leadership."

"Change is necessary to gain a fresh perspective on how we conduct business," Clancy said.

"I am certain any of our senior executives will be productive and valued assets either in other positions at the Secret Service or the department," he added.

The agency's assistant directors for investigations, protective operations, technology and public affairs are all getting new positions.
