Customs & Border Protection To Hire More Officers

DETROIT (WWJ) - U.S. Customs and Border Protection is looking to hire 2,000 new officers... with some of the jobs coming right here in Detroit.

In all, 44 different air, land or sea ports into the U.S. across 18 states will see the benefit of added officers. The goal of the increased staff is to enhance security and to help reduce wait times while crossing the border.
