Washington Homeland Security Roundtable Launches The Border Patrol Industry Academy in collaboration with U.S. Border Patrol Washington Homeland Security Roundtable will host Inaugural Session at United States Border Patrol HQ, Ronald Regan Building, 1300 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington DC, 20229, on October 14-15, 2015. The Washington Homeland Security Roundtable (WHSR) announce the creation of The Border Patrol Industry Academy. The Border Patrol Industry Academy is an unprecedented, in-depth program designed to strengthen Industry collaboration and knowledge of the Border Security mission. The program consists of quarterly sessions over a one year period which are: The opening session at Border Patrol Headquarters Washington DC, selected Southwest and Northern Border Sector tours, and concluding with training sessions and a graduation ceremony at the U.S. Border Patrol Academy in Artesia, New Mexico. U.S. Border Patrol agents and Senior Leadership at the initial meeting will dialogue and participate in several discussions over the two day period focusing on major strategic initiatives including: Southern Border & Approaches Campaign, Enforcement Technology, Geospatial Intelligence, Special Operations & Mobility, Biometrics, Operational Requirements, Man power Requirements Determination, among others. Discussions will also cover major priorities within the Law Enforcement Operations, Strategic Planning and Analysis and Mission Readiness Operations Directorates. The goal is to start the Border Patrol Industry Academy with Senior Industry Executives who maintain a broad organizational authority and responsibility that can share comprehensive Industry knowledge and are able to disseminate Border Security information back across their organization.
