The work is fun, challenging and critically important to national security. By protecting the border you protect the entire nation.

Once you graduate, you'll head for your duty station, where a field training officer will help teach you to apply what you learned in the academy. Somewhere between a team and a family, the people you'll work with are dedicated to protecting the border and protecting each other. Here you will feel like part of something important.

Border Patrol Agents are frequently on the move, and the work will challenge you mentally and physically. Most of what you do will take place outdoors, either hiking or in one kind of vehicle or another. Your powers of observation and decision-making skills will get sharper every day. As you advance, you can train for numerous assignments and other opportunities (i.e. canine, ATV, Horse Patrol, academy instructor, etc.).
