U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced new financial incentives aimed at attracting and retaining professionals for law enforcement and specialized roles within the agency. The incentives include bonuses of up to $60,000 for new Border Patrol agents and CBP officers.
“CBP is committed to recruiting and retaining top talent for our critical mission,” said CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott. “By offering competitive incentives, we are investing in skilled professionals who will help secure America’s borders and advance national security.”
The initiative is part of a broader investment in border security made possible by the One Big Beautiful Bill. The agency stated that these incentives are intended to recognize the dedication and expertise required for its mission. Eligible new hires can receive substantial recruitment and retention bonuses, with some positions offering benefits comparable to those found in other sectors.
CBP described these rewards as a way to support employees transitioning into federal service, acknowledge their commitment, and encourage long-term career development within the organization.
As the nation’s largest law enforcement organization, CBP employs more than 67,000 people who work across land, air, and sea operations. The agency is responsible for enforcing laws related to travel and trade while supporting national economic interests.
