- Summary:
- CBP, like all border agencies worldwide, has a significant potential vulnerability, - the threat of corruption. Moreover, because CBP has the largest number of armed, sworn law enforcement officers in the United States, over 44,000, there is a very real potential for the use of excessive and unnecessary force, especially by CBP's Border Patrol given the difficult environment in which it operates. In its brief history, CBP has not been noted for its transparency when it comes to use of force incidents, although this is changing, and given its size, it has never developed a truly CBP-wide process for receiving, tracking and responding to public complaints. Its disciplinary process takes far too long to be an effective deterrent. The CBP Integrity Advisory Panel was charged by the Secretary to make findings and recommendations based on law enforcement best practices regarding use of force, preventing corruption, investigative capabilities needed to address criminal and serious misconduct within CBP, engagement in interagency task forces such as the Border Corruption Task Forces, using intelligence driven approaches proactively to identify corruption and other misconduct, and addressing transparency issues pertaining to incident response, discipline and stakeholder outreach.
