PORT HURON, Mich. - U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Office of Field Operations (OFO), announce Mr. Andrew Douglas as the new CBP Area Port Director in Port Huron, Mich.

Mr. Douglas recently served as the Assistant Port Director for the Laredo Port of Entry in Texas.  In that capacity he led a staff of over 800 personnel and was responsible for the planning, direction, and execution of all passenger operations for the fourth busiest land border crossing in the United States by passenger volume.

Previously, Mr. Douglas was assigned to CBP Headquarters where he was proactively involved in CBP's passenger facilitation efforts.  Mr. Douglas was responsible for a variety of business transformation initiatives designed to optimize passenger operations at ports of entry including the Automated Passport Control kiosks and the pedestrian reengineering program.
