Today I'm scheduled to work from 6 to 4, and this is what I typically do on a day at work.

As a student, I can be scheduled to work at the primary inspection line or at the exit of the customs hall.

Regardless of which position I work at for the day, our duties are still very similar.

As someone who's been working here for many years now, I can confidently say this is one of the most unique and amazing experiences I've ever had. I urge students to apply for this position because it's a once in a lifetime opportunity that will give you hands-on experience on what it takes to work in law enforcement.
