Border Patrol Tactical Unit
The Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) is a specialized law enforcement team within U.S. Customs and Border Protection. They are trained to handle high-risk operations, such as drug interdiction, insurgent threats, and rescue missions along the U.S.-Mexico border. BORTAC officers have advanced combat and tactical skills, allowing them to respond to violent incidents, apprehend dangerous suspects, and assist in national security efforts. Their role is similar to SWAT teams but focused on border-related challenges, combining law enforcement expertise with tactical military-style training to ensure border safety and security.
