Detroit- On April 12, 2012, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in the Port of Detroit will host its inaugural, eight week Citizens Academy for invited community leaders, introducing them to the CBP mission.
Citizens Academy attendees will learn about the Office of Field Operations (at the ports of entry) and their crucial mission of securing our nation’s borders. The academy will cover CBP history, customs and immigration laws, and use of force disciplines, providing participants with first-hand experience of the tools used by CBP officers every day.
If you are interested in attending a future CBP Citizens Academy and are able to commit to attending associated sessions, please contact Ken Hammond, Public Affairs Liaison, Detroit Field Office at (313) 496-2191 or by email at detroitcitizensacademy@cbp.dhs.gov
