The U.S. Border Patrol is committed to preventing illegal aliens and illegal drugs from reaching our
communities through a combination of manpower, tactical infrastructure and technology. Ruthless,
profit-oriented smugglers continue to lead unsuspecting illegal aliens into desolate areas abandoning
them when they cannot keep up or fear capture.

The Border Patrol appreciates the assistance of the community. Suspicious activity can be reported by
calling 1-877-872-7435. All calls will be answered and will remain anonymous.
