EL CENTRO, Calif. -- Agents from the El Centro Sector Border Patrol’s Border Community Liaison Program assisted the Imperial County Public Health Department and Westmorland Union Elementary School in conducting their annual “Nutrition Olympics” on Jan. 26 in Westmorland.

Jorge Torres, Program Supervisor at the Imperial County Public Health Department said, “With child obesity becoming such an issue in Imperial County, it is more important than ever to keep children active.  Maintaining a healthy diet is equally important to the overall fitness of a child.  El Centro Sector Border Patrol has worked closely with the Imperial County Public Health Department and the Childhood Obesity Prevention Alliance to help bring attention and awareness to this issue over the last three years.”

The Nutrition Olympics is designed to introduce students to the benefits of having an active lifestyle.  Staying active can even help children prevent future health issues.  Children who stay physically active are also more likely to be successful in school.

The Westmorland Union Elementary School consists of approximately 350 students, but only kindergarten through third grade were selected to attend the Nutrition Olympics.  The students participated in various physical activities such as tug of war, potato sack races, ring toss, light weight lifting, balance balls, and hula-hoop games.

“If Border Patrol agents participating in community events are able to inspire the youth of our county to live a healthier lifestyle and make them feel more comfortable interacting with the uniformed men and women in law enforcement, then I consider that a win for everyone,” said Border Patrol Agent Trevor Ambrosini.

The Border Patrol’s Community Liaison Programs has been active in El Centro since 2012.  One of the programs primary responsibilities has been finding issues that are important to the local community and actively participating in programs and events that address these issues to improve the communities we live in.

Havre, Mont.— On April 15, 2015, Havre Border Patrol Station agents visited the Lutheran Preschool in Havre and read to the students in support of “I Love to Read Month.”

Agents, in an effort to reach out to the younger generation, attend the classrooms so they become familiar with their law enforcement community.  After the kids’ questions were answered about law enforcement, the agents read two books to them. The books are donated to the classroom by agents’ families from the Havre Station for the children to read on their own.

"It’s a great way to get the kids excited about reading and about law enforcement officers,” said Border Patrol Agent Melissa Hart from the Havre Sector Public Affairs Office.  “We want the kids to see law enforcement officers and gain the confidence to talk to officers at any time when they are out in public.”

PEMBINA, N.D.– The Area Port of Pembina sponsored “Bring Your Child to Work Day” on May 14 at the Port of Pembina, North Dakota. Forty-three boys and girls, ages 13-14, from the North Border School District attended the event accompanied by their teachers.

“The day was very educational and provided the students with a better understanding of the work performed by CBP and other Federal agencies,” said Area Port Director Mary Delaquis. “The hands-on experience provided today hopefully sparked the interest of some of these students into future positions in CBP or public service later in life.”

The day started at the Pembina Community Center with a welcome from Supervisory Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officer Michael Rude. The students were separated into three groups and then each group attended the various demonstrations.

Highlights from the day’s activities included presentations from the following agencies: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture Veterinarian Services and CBP Agriculture.

CBP firearms training officers talked about the different firearms CBP officers are trained to use in the course of their duties.

The session ended with the students firing training firearms that emit a laser at special targets.

Detroit- U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations (OFO) at the Detroit Windsor Tunnel located a 12-year-old female runaway on board the Tunnel Bus late Sunday night.

On July 19, CBP officers conducting an inspection of the Tunnel Bus, a cross-border commuter service through the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, encountered the minor female with no documents, traveling alone.

Officers questioned the juvenile and discovered that the minor was a possible runaway. Coordination with the Windsor, Ontario Police Department confirmed that she had indeed, ran away from home.

The minor was reunited with her mother in Canada with the assistance of Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and Windsor Police.

Bigfork, Mont.– In an effort to foster future leaders and interest in law enforcement, agents from the Bonners Ferry Border Patrol Station started a new Explorer program.

Five young adults from Boundary County traveled to Bigfork, Montana, to participate in and complete the inaugural Border Patrol Explorer Program from August 9 through August 14. These individuals are the newly-formed Bonners Ferry Border Patrol Explorer Post #190. They had been Explorers for almost a year under the Bonners Ferry Police Department; however, due to staffing shortfalls, the police department could no longer sponsor the post. The Border Patrol had already been actively involved from the beginning, therefore it was an easy transition.

The Explorers raised funds for their travel and meals while at the academy by hosting a car wash earlier in July.

Border Patrol stations from Bonners Ferry, Idaho; Whitefish, Montana; and Oroville, Washington all sent Explorers to the academy in Bigfork for a week-long training to earn their Explorer certifications. A host of topics were covered at the academy such as a basic overview of the mission of the U.S. Border Patrol, ethics, physical techniques, arrest techniques, proper use of force, survival swimming, ATV safety, law, interview techniques, first aid, and firearms use and safety.

Patrol Agent in Charge Manuel Figueroa said, “The community should be very proud of these five future leaders as they will become the foundation of future Explorers to come. Congratulations to the new Explorers and a salute to all the advisors.”
