Management Alert - Security and Safety Concerns at Border Patrol Stations in the Tucson Sector (Redacted)

Executive Summary

We conducted unannounced inspections of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) immigration holding facilities to determine if conditions are adequate, the quality of care provided is reasonable, and standards outlined in CBP’s National Standards on Transport, Escort, Detention, and Search are being met.  During these inspections, we identified physical security issues that pose a potential threat to Border Patrol agents, assets, and operations at Border Patrol stations.  We also identified security issues related to cameras and access at other Border Patrol stations.  As a result, we are recommending that CBP promptly address the physical security issues, ensure cameras are operable, and facility access is secure.
