Who we are
There are more than 8,000 miles of United State borders. Without Border Patrol agents, they would have little meaning. We’re the ones that keep them secure. From terrorists. WMDs. Drugs. Criminals. Illegal entrants. Without us, anyone and anything could slip across at anytime.
We use what we need, go where we have to go, and do what we have to do. Horses and helicopters. Four-wheel drives and ATVs. Infra-red surveillance – and tracking methods Native Americans developed millennia ago. A few other things to know:
- We say we’re a team but act more like a family
- Since 9/11, protection against terrorism is our highest priority
- This is an evolving science, with both sides seeking to develop new methods
- We’ll challenge your body and your mind – intellect is always your most important tool
