1
00:00:13,546 --> 00:00:15,715
This is the second year
that CBP has published

2
00:00:15,715 --> 00:00:18,752
an accountability report.
This report informs the

3
00:00:18,752 --> 00:00:22,322
American people and Congress
about the specific actions that CBP

4
00:00:22,322 --> 00:00:25,992
takes to ensure the
integrity of its workforce,

5
00:00:25,992 --> 00:00:28,962
sharing details about
our investigations,

6
00:00:28,962 --> 00:00:32,665
the outcomes of those investigations
and how members of the public

7
00:00:32,665 --> 00:00:36,036
can report allegations
of misconduct when they arise.

8
00:00:48,381 --> 00:00:52,152
One of the benefits of publishing
this annual accountability report

9
00:00:52,152 --> 00:00:54,421
is it gives the CBP
workforce and leadership

10
00:00:54,421 --> 00:00:57,323
the opportunity to
reflect on instances

11
00:00:57,323 --> 00:00:59,659
where our personnel
may have fallen short

12
00:00:59,659 --> 00:01:02,529
and to also ensure that we have
the proper controls and systems

13
00:01:02,529 --> 00:01:06,299
in place to prevent those same type
of incidents from occurring again.

14
00:01:06,299 --> 00:01:10,336
Having the trust of the
American public, Congress,

15
00:01:10,336 --> 00:01:13,706
all those combined is probably
the most important tool or asset

16
00:01:13,706 --> 00:01:17,677
CBP can have in order to be
successful in our mission

17
00:01:17,677 --> 00:01:20,080
at what we're trying to accomplish
on behalf of the American people.

18
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,215
You got to have their
confidence and their trust.

19
00:01:22,215 --> 00:01:24,484
But trust is not
something you just have.

20
00:01:24,484 --> 00:01:27,921
It's work to get there
and to be there and to maintain it.

21
00:01:28,621 --> 00:01:30,423
So in order for us
to maintain that trust,

22
00:01:30,423 --> 00:01:32,425
we have to be working
at it constantly

23
00:01:32,425 --> 00:01:37,130
and so it comes to the
integrity of our leadership,

24
00:01:37,130 --> 00:01:38,331
the integrity of
our workforce.

25
00:01:38,331 --> 00:01:41,334
Those are key things
to developing this trust.

26
00:01:41,334 --> 00:01:43,203
Once you have a high
level of integrity,

27
00:01:43,203 --> 00:01:44,904
one, you're going to
hold yourself accountable

28
00:01:44,904 --> 00:01:47,407
and you're going to be
transparent.
