Customs and Border Protection (Staff & Heads)

The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Department is a federal law enforcement agency tasked with the duty of patrolling and securing the nation's sovereign territory - air, land, and sea - primarily by enforcing Title 11 - CICN - Customs, Immigration, Citizenship, and Naturalization Code. 

Jurisdiction

Officers shall patrol ports of entry as well as the boundaries of the nation's territory, including but not limited to: Beaches, Coastlines, Oceans within territorial boundaries, Sea ports, Cargo ports, Airports, Heliports, and Marinas. Officers may patrol public traffic areas or commuter areas adjacent to any of the above patrol areas (e.g. LSIA loop), as well as major high-traffic roadways, for the purpose of interdiction. Officers may set up stationary checkpoints on high traffic roadways for the purpose of inspecting citizenship status of passersby. 

Authority

Officers may, under the authority within Title 11, conduct inspections of any people or cargo entering, leaving, or crossing into the nation's international border or a port of entry (including those reasonably suspected of doing so). Officers may deport or refuse entry to San Andreas under the [11] 4 - Deportation and Entry Refusal Authority code.

Officers may, based on assimilative authority to enforce state and local laws (Law Enforcement Authority Doctrine), enforce non-immigration laws such as municipal codes, traffic violations, fish and game laws, etc.. Though it is not their primary responsibility, their relative proximity to waterways, beaches, national and state parks, and public roadways may lead them to witness a variety of violations. Additionally, it is permitted for CBP officers to engage in mutual aid assistance for other agencies, as well as provide medical aid, search and rescue, along with performing any other general law-enforcement community-caretaking function. 

Additional Information

Officers shall be logged into the "clock-in" system and may use the statewide police frequencies, or another channel, at their discretion. In the event of a CBP officer requiring backup, engaging in a pursuit, or performing law enforcement duties in conjunction with other agencies, they are required to utilize the general statewide police frequency.

The CBP is staffed entirely by employees of other full-service law enforcement agencies who perform overtime patrol work as a CBP officer. There is no invitation or additional application requirement; however, only members of the community staff team (Mod+) or LEO department heads may perform this assignment. There is no maximum amount of CBP officers that may be deployed. 

The Customs and Border Protection department is managed by the Board of Directors.

Special Operations Group

As a combination of specialty federal assets, the Border Patrol's Special Operations Group contains many desirable emergency response units that may be deployed anywhere within the nation to supplement other agencies or perform assignments in the interest of national safety and security including sniper coverage for high-risk operations, dignitary protection, high-risk national events, requests for assistance from other agencies, etc.. 

All CBP agents are authorized to deploy SOG units along with using unmarked boats, buzzards, or blackhawk helicopters for any necessary AMO, BORSTAR, or BORTAC function.
