Maybe. Aggies are not "agents". They are also not law enforcement.
They also attend their own distinct academy.

I am aware that there are 328 ports in OFO.. Plus the various overseas locations. I can also tell you with out reservations that OFO staffs Agriculture Specialists in less than half of those locations.
If CBPAS appeals to a person, by all means, apply. Just don't get your hopes up that... -
There is no job series of "CBPA" or "CBP Agent".
To answer your question...yes. Every law enforcement position in CBP has it's own distinct academy with different training based on different complexities and responsibilities within each job. -
I think Government is answerable to the people and, as a generality the most prominent influencers on Government are special interest groups and the media, of which, the most vocal and reactive of which tend to be of a leftist, progressive and/or liberal bent...and liberals haven't been really strong... -

There is no "CBPA". If you're talking of Agriculture, it's CBPAS. Border Patrol is BPA, more often shorten further to simply PA.
A person who is prior military is unbound by age restrictions, but yeah, it is very possible to get jammed up by age in the covered... -
Delphi's CBPO forum is a fraction of where it was in the in the glory days of the past. It's now mostly driven by trolls, propagandists and agency bashers.
Take pretty much everything there now with a huge grain of salt. -
What's a CBPA?
What sort of standards?
If the "A" is an agricultural specialist the pay is roughly the same. The same is true of border patrol agents.
Hiring standards are roughly equal with the nod to Agriculture as far as formal college education goes.... -
Buffalo is a very large port. I'd be very surprised if they ever filled up to the point that they had zero vacancies.
No, sorry. The academy isn't likely to give you time off for childbirth . Maybe, a few hours...at most...if it was a local commute. Flying to Buffalo, not likely. -

CASS...Central Applicant Self-Service. -
More or less.
There are several different housing units on campus. What you will get will depend on what's available when you go to Georgia. If it's crowded enough, there's the potential of being put up off-campus in a local hotel.
Depending on the draw of location and how...Last edited by merlin436; 02-11-2020, 04:39 AM. -
One face at the border = one farce at the border again...at least as it relates to OFO.
The G47 isn't an option for the standard CBPO. -
I believe all new hires are now issued the Glock 19.
Current CBPOs carrying the P2000 will be phased in based on location. If it's anything like the previous transition to the HK...it'll take years before everybody on board is carrying the Glock. Or maybe not...depending on the priorit... -
Jbenz.
I'm not understanding the complexities here.
You are an employee of a NYC?, NYS?, other? agency who allows you to carry a personally owed weapon and gives you peace officer status under their authority . How exactly does any of that transfer with you when you resign... -

One, no. All academy training will be in Georgia. Pre-and post-academy training are outside the academy dates and will be at your port...or within commuting distance of your port.
Two, yes. Or at the least you should be covered on the day you opt for a plan...if that day isn't the day... -
Have you talked to your FTOs and your management?
I'm betting that somebody local gets notified if you successfully clear the BI. Maybe you can get an email as a heads-up. -
I'll guess since that you have already EOD'd that there is no reason to continue with your CASS profile.
As long as you stay employed you'll know you haven't yet failed your background. If you go to academy graduation and find out that they pull your gun and creds right after the ceremony...well,... -
Depending on how one defines "good "... I'd say that larger is usually better than smaller, especially for opportunities. Having said that...picking the right smaller port might get one opportunity sooner, due to circumstances and fewer employee options. -
Are they stepping you out as a GS-07?
