U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) describes itself as "America's frontline: the nation's largest law enforcement organization and the world's first unified border management agency." The agency consists of more than 65,000 men and women who work to protect America on land, in the air, and at sea. They facilitate safe and lawful travel and trade while ensuring economic prosperity for the country. According to CBP, they enhance national security through "innovation, intelligence, collaboration, and trust."
