Tonight I had the opportunity to participate in the first of six sessions at the Border Patrol Citizens Academy. The information presented was very interesting. We learned about the history of the organization and the rigorous training they go through. There are many things they do in their everyday routines, that we are not even aware of. I walked away with a great feeling of pride and respect for these agents and I am really looking forward to learning more about what the Border Patrol Officers do. Next week we will get a river tour. Can't wait!
