Prostitution is legal in Cartagena, Colombia, but when a U.S. Secret Service agent allegedly refused to pay, it set off a scandal that got several agents fired and tarnished the agency's reputation. Paula Reid, the new supervising manager for the Miami office of the U.S. Secret Service, a prestigious division that oversees the South American region, acted swiftly when she received a report of a disturbance at the hotel where agents preparing for President Barack Obama's visit to Cartagena were staying. Reid didn't particularly care whether prostitution was legal or illegal. The bottom line for her was that visits to strip clubs, heavy drinking, and hiring prostitutes are not acceptable ethical behaviors for Secret Service agents charged with protecting the president of the United States. Based on information from the hotel manager, Reid swiftly rounded up a dozen agents, ordered them out of the country, and notified her superiors that she had found evidence of "egregious misconduct." The resulting scandal threw the Secret Service into turmoil and put Director Mark Sullivan and other top leaders on the hot seat. Yet, for Reid, the "boys will be boys" mentality is not acceptable in today's world. See the assignment sheet for the questions for this case study.
