CBP defends America’s borders against all threats while facilitating its economic stability.
3November 2007
The scope of our task is daunting
More than 46,000 employees protect the United States from terrorists, drug and human smugglers, agricultural disease, and more, while keeping travel and trade flowing.
We guard approximately 7,000 miles of land border the U.S. shares with Canada and Mexico.
We also secure 95,000 miles of shoreline in partnership with the United States Coast Guard.
4November 2007
Ports of entry are key line of defense
In fiscal year 2007, CBP officers inspected 411 million travelers and more than 120 million cars, trucks, buses, trains, vessels and aircraft.
That same year, CBP officers arrested more than 25,000 suspected criminals, seized more than 820,000 pounds of narcotics, interdicted more than 170,000 inadmissible aliens and conducted 1.5 million agricultural interceptions.

We welcome legitimate travelers SENTRI: A program that allows pre-
approved travelers to receive expedited processing at dedicated U.S./Mexico land border crossings.
NEXUS: Bi-national expedited traveler program whose members have crossing privileges at air, land, and marine ports of entry.
Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative: Will require a passport or other accepted document to enter or re-enter the United States by land and sea.

CBP Mission
CBP’s mission consists of twin goals:
“CBP's priority mission is preventing terrorists and terrorist weapons from entering
the United States, while also facilitating the flow of legitimate trade and travel”

Facilitating Trade
In the effort to support the twin goals of the CBP mission, officers/agents must: Ensure traffic is expedited
Continue with traditional mission of looking for drugs, intellectual property rights (IPR) violations, look for agriculture violations, review passenger admissibility
Use varying technology effectively
Learn new technologies for detecting terrorist and terrorist weapons

A&M uses the latest technology, including unmanned aircraft systems, to detect and prevent terrorism, drug smuggling, and human smuggling across U.S. borders.
In fiscal year 2007, A&M protected America from illegal drugs and currency, seizing or disrupting the flow of more than half a million pounds of illegal drugs and seizing $16 million during more than 80,000 flight hours flown.
This year, A&M also formed multi-agency and international partnerships to deter and combat the threat of illegal activity.

We protect American agriculture Agriculture specialists inspect ships,
airplanes, vehicles, cargo, passengers, and their baggage for prohibited products that may carry pests and disease.
The products that agriculture specialists prevent from entering the U.S. pose a very real threat to American crops, natural forests, domestic plants and our animal production industry.
During fiscal year 2007, CBP agriculture specialists made 1.57 million agricultural interceptions (meats & plants that are prohibited entry into the U.S.). Through inspection of commodities and seized products, they found nearly 60,000 actionable or reportable plant pest interceptions.
