There are lots of options depending on what port you pick (Land Border Crossing, Sea Port, Air Port) All these ports have their unique requirements as to the JOB. Depending on how you qualify (GS-5, or GS-7) you will have to wait until you make GS-11 to get k-9 or any other "special" position, as well as applying for Supervisory positions (GS-12 and above) which are competitive. CBPO's are now covered under 12-D for retirement purposes, so requirements are stricter (age and physical) with a mandatory retirement age at 57.
If you're looking into Law Enforcement with being on Patrol, Chasing people, making lots of arrests (basically looking for action), then Local PD would be your thing.
Or you can try BPA as well, if you don't mind living in the middle of nowhere chasing illegals

In any case a little research on the website wouldn't hurt... www.cbp.gov
Good Luck to you
