The students learned about  CBP’s overall mission and experienced live demonstrations throughout the day, highlighted by some of the tools and technology deployed to keep America’s borders safe.

“Students were excited to learn about CBP from our uniformed officers,” said Port Director Virgil Farnsworth. “The Trout River port of entry looks forward to this annual event. CBP is committed to supporting a positive partnership between law enforcement and America’s youth. This event was a great opportunity to display work performed by CBP and other federal agencies regarding border security.”
