I suspect it wasn't the Secret Service going door to door but rather the local constabulary. I worked with the SS several times during the 90's and early 00's during presidential visits/events and it was my experience that they allow local police and private security associated with the visit/event to incorporate their own methods/means within their participation plans.

Also, over the past several years the UK has gone batshit crazy over social media posts. It appears that just about any social media post critical of preferred policies or demographics are an invitation to an early morning knock on your door. It doesn't surprise me that local police may ask anyone they come in contact with about their social media presence.
