Secret Service under criticism after an armed man was able to enter North Portico Park . New security measures are being implemented in wake of the breach . One measure would be increasing the number of guards patrolling the grounds . The agency has not had a great run of it in recent years -- from the prostitution scandal in Colombia in 2012 , to the incident in the Netherlands earlier this year in which three agents were sent home for drinking . Another measure would be the installation of more security cameras outside the park .
