Pros
Defending the US against illegal aliens and protecting the Nation from dangerous goods. Supporting this mission will make the United States a better place to live. CBP has an opportunity to help the Government defined the best methods for tracking dangerous cargo and keeping illegal drugs off the streets. We need the right mix of persons with backgrounds in law enforecement and detection technology to work for CBP.
Cons
Senior management has a tendency to not delegate decision-making to the manager who has the greatest competency in their particular area of expertise. CBP needs to be more flexible in streamlining their procurement process. CBP unwillingness to allow Industry as a value added partner, has result in failurs such as the SBI net.
