Almost retired? You calling me old?!?! Haha! The reason for the change was because I hadn't had a pay increase in five years making less than $40K. In the patrol my salary doubled. The problem is that the patrol is making some serious steps to eliminate the opportuniity to make that kind of money. It's still good money if they cut us to our base salary. But, there are local pd's making similair money as our base salary with a much higher job satisfaction. I still think that overall the patrol is going to have better pay and benefits. I think we will know what the direction the patrol is going to take in the next 12 months.

Good luck in your endeavors.

striketm, I took the BPA exam January 2011 and got a score of 73. I honestly did not think twice about it after getting such a low score. Tuesday I recieved an email saying this:
""Dear Border Patrol Agent Applicant:
Our records indicate that you have an active record on the Border Patrol Agent (BPA) applicant inventory for the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Why are we sending you this letter?
This letter is let you know that the Minneapolis Hiring Center continues to make tentative selections for the Southwest Border from this inventory. Please continue to monitor your email weekly as tentative selection offers are made via email.
What do I need to do?
If you are still interested in an entry-level Border Patrol Agent position you are not required to do anything; unless you need to update your contact information. To update your contact information simply send an email to the Minneapolis Hiring Center at: Please be sure to include your full name, last four digits of your social security number and updated contact information.
What if I no longer want to pursue a career as a Border Patrol Agent?
You may email the Minneapolis Hiring Center with your full name, last four digits of your social security number and a brief statement asking to be removed from the inventory. .
Thank you for your continued interest in a position with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Minneapolis Hiring Center
U.S. Customs & Border Protection"""
I contacted them and via email to give them a new phone number and got this reply:
""The BPA announcement is currently closed. We are currently selecting applicants in score order from 110-70. Once we reach your score you will be contacted via email. For more information on the position of BPA . If you have received a tentative selection letter and applicant ID please contact the BPA Staffing unit at: 952-857-2910 or [email protected] We will respond to your email as quickly as we can. ""
So I guess after almost 2 years they are reaching the mid 70s . Have you heard anything?
