The United States Secret Service announced Friday that its new fleet of black cruisers represents an “era of excellence.”
“A new era of excellence has arrived from the Uniformed Division,” the agency said in a promotional video showcasing the new black cruiser with gold trim driving around Washington. “Bold. Sleek. Commanding. The new black cruiser is a perfect blend of style and functionality built to keep our officers ready for anything.”
The Secret Service commonly employs modified versions of American SUVs, and the decision to switch from white to black vehicles for the Uniformed Division took place before President Donald Trump was inaugurated.

The Secret Service said in January that the decision to move to black and gold would ensure consistency between the marked fleet and the protected fleet.
“Designed for those who stand ready, this cruiser isn’t just a vehicle,” Friday’s promotional video said. “It’s a statement. With its all black exterior, it moves with precision and purpose, embodying the strength and discipline of the Uniformed Division.”

The Uniformed Division of the Secret Service is defined by professionalism, protection, and purpose, according to the agency’s website.
“Our Uniformed Division’s mission is to protect facilities and venues secured for U.S. Secret Service protectees,” the website says. “Throughout its history, the Uniformed Division has accomplished this mission through individuals who embody honor, integrity and a commitment to excellence.”
