Border Security Expo

Today we recognize 102 years of service, sacrifice, and dedication from the United States Border Patrol. 🇺🇸

For more than a century, Border Patrol agents have worked tirelessly to protect our nation’s borders, support national security, and safeguard communities across the country.

At Border Security Expo, we are proud to support the mission and honor the men and women who continue to serve on the front lines every day.

Happy 102nd Birthday to the United States Border Patrol.

During National Police Week, we honor the men and women in law enforcement who serve and protect our communities every day.

Their commitment, sacrifice, and dedication to public safety and national security do not go unnoticed. From local departments to federal agencies working along our borders, we recognize and thank those who continue to answer the call in support of the mission.

Thank you for your service.
