DESCRIPTION
Employer Profile Are you interested in a job with wide-open spaces and opportunities to match? As a Border Patrol Agent, your primary focus would be to work in tandem with your U.S. Customs and Border Protection partners to prevent terrorists and terrorist weapons from entering the United States. Border Patrol Agents also detect and prevent the smuggling and unlawful entry of undocumented aliens into the United States, and apprehend those people found to be in violation of the immigration laws. Also, due to the increase in drug smuggling operations, the Border Patrol is the primary drug-interdicting agency along the land border between the ports of entry.
New hires must successfully complete approximately five months of paid training at the CBP Border Patrol Academy in Artesia, NM, on topics such as immigration and nationality laws, Spanish, physical training, and marksmanship. Border Patrol Agents must be willing to work overtime and shift work under arduous conditions, and be proficient in the use of and carry firearms. Border Patrol Agents are subject to random drug testing. They may also be sent on temporary assignments on short notice and on permanent reassignments to any duty location.
*IMPORTANT NOTICE*:
THE NEWLY HIRED CANDIDATE'S INTITIAL DUTY LOCATION WILL BE ALONG THE SOUTHWEST BORDER OF THE UNITED STATES BETWEEN TEXAS AND CALIFORNIA. THIS ANNOUCEMENT IS ONLY OPEN TO APPLICANTS WILLING TO WORK ON THE SOUTHWEST BORDER OF THE UNITED STATES.
TRANSFERS TO OTHER BORDER PATROL STATIONS (INCLUDING THE NORTHERN BORDER) CAN BE SOUGHT AFTER SEVERAL YEARS EXPERIENCE. CURRENTLY, THERE ARE NO INITIAL POSITION LOCATIONS AVAILABLE ALONG THE NORTHERN BORDER
