After graduating from both the University of Maryland, College Park, and Howard University Law School, Sam Horwitz was accepted into the U.S. Secret Service. She was the only woman in her graduating class to complete extensive training at the Federal Law Enforcement Center and the James J. Rowley Training Center, located just outside of D.C. She was assigned to the New York Field Office, Electronic Crimes Task Force. In addition to her extensive case work, she provided protection to several U.S. Presidents, former Presidents, First Ladies, and many foreign dignitaries.
Sam was in an elevator in the North Tower of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, when American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower. After many difficult months, she made the heart wrenching decision to leave the Secret Service due the the effects of post-traumatic stress. After recovering from PTSD, later in time she returned to the law enforcement community in Montgomery County, MD as a Lieutenant assigned to its Executive Protection detail. Her law enforcement career spanned a total of twelve years, prior to retiring from it in 2012.
Samantha Horwitz is now a successful entrepreneur, business owner, speaker, and author, and lives in Texas.
