Hiring Manager
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Dear Hiring Manager,
Stopping four smuggling attempts in one week confirmed my commitment to border security and public safety. Working as a Border Patrol Agent in Jacksonville, I consistently utilise surveillance technology and tactical response training to apprehend violators. I am eager to bring that same diligence to further CBP's mission.
Our sector is a high-traffic corridor for illicit trade, yet I have maintained a 98% accuracy rate in identifying suspicious cargo during inspections. The intelligence-led operations I support combine ground patrols with drone surveillance, giving us actionable data without compromising officer safety.
I believe in proactive engagement, having coordinated community outreach to inform residents about reporting suspicious activity. A border agent must uphold enforcement authority while building trust, and I strive to balance those responsibilities.
CBP faces evolving threats, from human smuggling to contraband. I am prepared to adapt and uphold our agency's standards, whether through advanced interdiction tactics or collaboration with partner agencies.
I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss how my field experience can continue serving CBP's objectives. Thank you for considering my application.
Sincerely,
Casey V.
