More Officers and Equipment: Enhancing Security at U.S. Ports of Entry
This Act aims to boost security at ports of entry by mandating the hiring of at least 600 new Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers annually, subject to appropriations, along with support staff. It introduces reporting requirements regarding infrastructure and equipment needs for detecting drugs, including opioids. The law also mandates reporting on temporary staff reassignments and the use of the CBP One mobile application.
