Nothing really elite about them, no.
They've got a fuckton of resources and authority though. Mostly their job is investigating people making threatening remarks and prepping locations wherever the president is going to be for their visit.
But once there's a crowd, its kinda up to the President to follow whatever the plan is after something goes down.
Also, former presidents get a small Secret Service detail but probably not the same level of resources as the actual sitting president. So there's gotta a more of a "security theater" thing going on.
Ah so it's the TSA of the police then
Once the crowds are in front of the President/former President, kinda.
