Take Action
UPDATED LETTER (April 4th, 2013)
While
it appears as though Congress appropriated sufficient funds to pay the
salaries of Border Patrol agents within the current Continuing
Resolution (CR), CBP has yet to make a decision on the spending plan.
Consequently, the proposed plans and indecision have unnecessarily
caused Border Patrol agents and their families to worry about their
safety at work and the uncertainty of their financial stability. Please take
action to prevent CBP from reducing the numbers and pay of Border
Patrol agents who risk their lives daily to patrol our borders and keep
our nation safe.
Rumor Control: Location Swaps
Wednesday, 11 July 2012
The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) is aware of the rumors surrounding the NBPC position on a swap program being spread by a few members and the usual management suspects looking to cause animosity among bargaining unit employees. In response, the NBPC issues this notice to members to clear up any confusion regarding the official position of the NBPC.
Rumor Control: Early retirement buyouts and reductions in manpower for the Border Patrol
Wednesday, 11 July 2012
The National Border Patrol Council has received emails from members around the country questioning rumors about the Border Patrol having a plan in place to offer early retirement buyouts to Border Patrol personnel and about the Border Patrol planning to reduce the workforce. As a result, the NBPC contacted the Office of Border Patrol to ask about the rumors and received the following response.
The Obama administration is moving to shut down nine Border Patrol
stations across four states, triggering a backlash from local law
enforcement, members of Congress and Border Patrol agents themselves.
Critics of the move warn the closures will undercut efforts to
intercept drug and human traffickers in well-traveled corridors north of
the U.S.-Mexico border. Though the affected stations are scattered
throughout northern and central Texas, and three other states, the
coverage areas still see plenty of illegal immigrant activity -- one
soon-to-be-shuttered station in Amarillo, Texas, is right in the middle
of the I-40 corridor; another in Riverside, Calif., is outside Los
Angeles.
Public
Safety is a stressful, demanding career. You keep communities safe. You
protect life and property. You enforce laws. You resolve conflicts.
Public safety rests on your shoulders.
What happens when your personal life and career are out of balance?
You are going through a divorce. Your finances are out of control. You
can’t sleep. A traumatic event at work is haunting you. Drugs and
alcohol seem to lessen the effects.
