With more than 60,000 employees, U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) is amongst the largest federal
agency responsible for securing the US borders. CBP
maintains a commitment to provide border security
services with integrity and vigilance. The deployment of
advanced technology, physical infrastructure, and additional manpower
along the border has made it more difficult for drug trafficking and other
Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) to conduct and promote
their illegal activities.
Since October 1, 2004, over 160 current or former CBP employees have
been arrested or charged with acts of corruption. In a number of these
cases, CBP employees have been corrupted by TCOs via monetary
bribes. To effectively address these evolving and emerging corruption
threats, CBP has developed a unified and comprehensive strategy which
incorporates prevention, education and detection capabilities designed to
strengthen the integrity of the CBP workforce while deterring, identifying
and responding to alleged corruption and serious misconduct.
