Scheduling depends on the port. 8 hour shifts are standard. 10 and 12 hour shifts might be a possiblity...dependent on location. I have never seen a 16 hour scheduled shift.
Overtime availability depends on port. Overtime scheduling is also port specific...but basically no port could support...Last edited by merlin436; 05-18-2019, 04:36 PM. -

Scroll down about half way to find the chart for Newark/NYC. -

That provides CBPO staffing levels based on Field Offices, N.O. included. Use this along with your other PDF... -
It looks like it's working here.

Commenting specifically to an username...
Hello,
How does one comment specifically to an username? I keep seeing people replying in the manner of UserName but I can't seem to figure out how to do it on my own.
Thanks all. -
To hire on at 38 the agency essentially gives you an age waiver. Any agency you'd be jumping to would have to honor that waiver. -
@hopejoy...MHC would close out the BP application, since the job was offered and accepted. The OFO application would continue until either by some action or inaction the applicant closed it...or the odd chance that MHC never made a final offer.Last edited by merlin436; 05-14-2019, 12:40 PM. -
Having both the BP academy and the OFO academy under your belt would be a feather in your cap. You could join BP, when OFO calls ask MHC to delay your move to OFO until you graduate the BP academy and then make the jump to OFO. Among other things, such a course of action would start your retirement... -
If working overtime is your thing, your best bet is a major southern border land port(SYS, Laredo, etc.). Followed by most of the other southern border ports and the major airports/seaports(JFK, LAX, Long Beach, Miami, etc.).
In much of the rest there's simply not "lots" of overtime...especially... -
NO Field Office staffing is several times smaller than most FOs. About 10X smaller than NY.
It stands to reason that their overall overtime budget is comparably smaller.
Having said that I don't know what their overtime situation is. Like most FOs off the southern land border... -
Some of the older posts have lost some of their relevance since there have been some significant changes that have happened over the years.
Nevertheless, the history on this board is a decent archive. Much of present CBP is structured by influences from years, even decades ago. Some things... -
I've lived in Potsdam. Also Malone and Plattsburgh. -
It used to be that one could test out of Spanish. Then things changed, and everyone attended academy Spanish.
I cannot tell you what the situation for new hires currently is. -
OFO Spanish training isn't anything to avoid. It's pretty much 30 training days of job-related Spanish where attendance and participation the minimum needed to pass.
I sure wouldn't abandon a desired port just because Spanish training was attached to it.
Plus, there's Foreign... -

It's currently age 40 entrance maximum with 20 year retirement. Prior military pretty much can come in at any age and work the full 20 years until retirement. Those who enter prior to age 37 face mandatory retirement at age 57. Unless they're hires prior to 2008...they face no mandated retirement.... -
Prior to 2008, CBPOs, like many other federal law enforcement officers, were not covered under the enhanced portions of federal retirement commonly referred to as "LEO" or "6C/12D" retirement.
Since 2008 CBPOs have been covered but since they were added as a series title... -
Virtually zero.
Apply and ask. Maybe you'll get lucky.
