WEBVTT

00:08.240 --> 00:11.100
so Customs and border protection is

00:11.110 --> 00:13.750
critical to the overall , uh ,

00:13.760 --> 00:16.170
government effort in , uh , in securing

00:16.170 --> 00:19.040
the 59th presidential inauguration .

00:19.050 --> 00:21.880
CBP , I think , has ah particularly

00:21.880 --> 00:24.047
unique capability that we bring to the

00:24.047 --> 00:26.260
table with resource is technical

00:26.260 --> 00:28.482
equipment machinery that really is very

00:28.482 --> 00:30.704
useful in detecting the kinds of things

00:30.704 --> 00:32.593
that we want to make sure that we

00:32.593 --> 00:34.649
protect . I think it's phenomenal at

00:34.649 --> 00:36.760
how quickly CBP mobilized assets both

00:36.760 --> 00:38.704
office field operations and Border

00:38.704 --> 00:41.380
Patrol Way brought in 150 officers from

00:43.501 --> 00:45.501
Field office , Boston , Buffalo and

00:45.501 --> 00:47.390
Atlanta . And they're all helping

00:47.390 --> 00:49.590
together to secure checkpoints as

00:49.590 --> 00:51.423

00:51.423 --> 00:53.590
Operational Medicine Branch . Our role

00:59.368 --> 01:01.368

01:01.368 --> 01:03.479
different post checkpoints that we've

01:03.479 --> 01:03.320

01:09.653 --> 01:11.542
utilizing aircraft and vessels to

01:11.542 --> 01:13.709
provide officer safety and situational

01:13.709 --> 01:15.876
awareness for the event . Preclearance

01:15.876 --> 01:18.042

01:24.396 --> 01:26.507
the Capitol security detail . Uh , if

01:26.507 --> 01:28.562
you think about the skill sets , the

01:28.562 --> 01:30.618
capabilities that customs and border

01:30.618 --> 01:32.840
protection brings to the table , if you

01:32.840 --> 01:34.673
will are officers are agents are

01:34.673 --> 01:36.760
vigilant in performing their border

01:36.760 --> 01:39.038
security duties throughout the country .

01:39.038 --> 01:41.510
So they bring that skill set into this
