U.S. Customs and Border Protection is one of the largest law enforcement organizations in the United States. The agency traces its origins back to July 31, 1789—the date referenced by Durst—which marks the establishment of U.S. Customs as part of efforts to regulate trade and collect tariffs at American ports.
The mention of awards reflects ongoing recognition programs within CBP designed to honor employees who demonstrate exceptional service or contribute significantly to operational success and workforce well-being.
