Both positions help to enforce border security but do so in different ways. Border patrol agents operate in a more conventional law enforcement role. These agents are more likely to do field work like tracking suspects, performing traffic stops, and looking for false documents. Border patrol agents are usually responsible for larger areas, such as off-road regions with few or no other security measures. CBP officers work almost exclusively at ports of entry, such as airports, and may spend more time inspecting packages and processing paperwork than interacting with people. Despite the more limited duties, CBP officers are still required to complete a training program, pass an assessment of emotional maturity and personal character, and pass a comprehensive background check.
