Ports of Entry

Unmet Needs at Ports of Entry

CBP’s workload staffing model for ports of entry is part of a “threepronged strategy that maximizes existing resources, identifies our staffing needs, and explores funding sources to support our staffing needs.” According to this model, to meet current staffing needs and to fully and adequately staff all ports of entry, CBP needs to hire over 4,000 Port Officers.
