C.B.P. Veterans Outreach Programs

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is committed to recruiting and employing qualified veterans, and we actively recruit eligible veterans for suitable jobs. We value the experience, commitment and work ethic that veterans bring to the job, as well as their significant skills and abilities.

CBP is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Currently, veterans make up a significant portion of two of our Mission Critical Occupations – Border Patrol Agent (BPA) and Customs and Border Protection Officer (CBPO) – and nearly 25% of our entire workforce.

We are proud to provide opportunities to those who wish to serve their country a second time.

Let Us help you…
We want to help you understand and use veterans' preference and other hiring flexibilities that are available to you. Below you will find links to general information about veterans’ employment with the Federal Government, as well as three appointing authorities: the 30% or more disabled veteran appointing authority; the Veterans Recruitment Appointment (VRA) appointing authority, and the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act of 1998 (VEOA).
