CBP Air and Border
CBP Air
On October 1, 2005, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) integrated its aviation assets, programs and personnel to establish CBP Air. With over 500 pilots and 250 aircraft, CBP Air is the largest law enforcement air force in the world.
Border Patrol
The priority mission of the Border Patrol is preventing terrorists and terrorists weapons, including weapons of mass destruction, from entering the United States. Border Patrol Agents patrol nearly 7,000 miles of international land border with Canada and Mexico and nearly 2,000 miles of coastal border. Undaunted by scorching desert heat or freezing northern winters, they work tirelessly as vigilant protectors of our Nation’s borders.
