Keith Schiller (born c. 1959)[1] is an American former law enforcement official and security consultant who served as Deputy Assistant to U.S. President Donald Trump and Director of Oval Office Operations.

He primarily served at the Little Creek base in Norfolk, Virginia, and was also the boarding team leader on the USS Plymouth Rock, a landing ship for amphibious vehicles.

[5] He graduated from the New York City Police Academy, and served as a patrol officer in northern Manhattan which at the time was the epicenter of the cocaine trade.

[4] After a brief stint as an undercover officer, Schiller joined the Street Narcotics Enforcement Unit with the 34th Precinct, where he was the rammer (charged with breaking the door during raids).

[4] He also spent time in the high-intensity drug-trafficking area working under then-Lieutenant David E. Chong, who describes Schiller as a "devoted, physical and loyal officer" who "always had his boss's back".

[4] During his career at the department he was a narcotics officer with the NYPD Strike Force, and the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program of New York and New Jersey.

Seeking side work to supplement his NYPD salary, Schiller asked the assistant district attorney to put in a good word with Trump, so that he could be employed as a bodyguard.

[18] Three people close to Schiller, speaking on background, also confirmed reports of his impending departure to The New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman.
