You're right. The Secret Service agents are the best Feds you will ever work with. I've found them to be "regular guys."
They're just being worked to death.
Hope things get better for you in Miami. In any event, enjoy retirement when you get there.

Sounds right to me.

My experience through the years and after attending untold numbers of supervisory training courses was that on the Investigations side there would be lots of attention paid to how to handle problem agents, (or agents with problems) but on the Protection side the answer was always simply to transfer them back to the Field.
Use 'em up and throw 'em out!

Does the Secret Service hire retired police officers to work part time?

Don't think so.

The big problem is the security clearance. I doubt that they would hire anyone who couldn't be given a security clearance and they wouldn't spend the money for a security clearance for a part time employee.
Immediately after 9/11/01, many retired agents volunteered to assist the Service in office work or motorcade situations. The Service couldn't find a way to utilize them due to the security clearance issue.
The best place for a quick answer is to look inside the front cover of your telephone book for the phone number of the Secret Service and call and ask them. (If you screw up and call the FBI you are unworthy of working for the Service. :P )
Although I doubt it, it wouldn't do any harm to give them a call.
