BUFFALO, N.Y. — The U.S. Customs and Border Protection is currently hiring officer positions in Buffalo through the end of August.
CBP officers are responsible for securing U.S. borders from various threats, including detecting and preventing terrorist attacks.

“Working for Customs and Border Protection is an excellent and rewarding career. We are looking for enthusiastic and energetic individuals who are interested in becoming a member of our Federal Law Enforcement team,” Acting Area Port Director Sharon Swiatek said.
“A CBP career offers candidates the opportunity to serve their country and work for a law enforcement organization that provides the ability to work all over the world. We are encouraging anyone considering a career in law enforcement to apply to be a CBP officer.”
