Customs Enforcement Officer

The role of a Border Patrol Agent is multifaceted and challenging.

• Detecting individuals suspected of violating immigration laws requires exceptional observation skills, intelligence gathering abilities, and swift decision-making under pressure. The ability to question these individuals effectively in a professional manner also plays a critical part in upholding the law.
• Preventing unauthorized entry into the country through apprehending undocumented non-citizens at or near borders demands high levels of physical fitness, situational awareness, and knowledge of applicable customs regulations. It involves detecting smuggling activities involving non-citizens as well as preventing them from entering the country undetected. This calls for vigilant monitoring of border areas using available resources efficiently without compromising on security standards.
