What is one of the roles of a Sector Enforcement Specialist (SES)?

A Sector Enforcement Specialist (SES) plays a crucial role in coordinating and managing enforcement operations, where running record checks is essential. This involves reviewing and analyzing various databases to ensure that the information needed for enforcement actions is accurate and up-to-date. Record checks help the SES assess the background of individuals, verify identities, and support decision-making during enforcement operations. This function is vital for ensuring the safety and legality of actions taken by the Border Patrol in the field.

In contrast, patrolling the area and apprehending suspects are typically responsibilities more aligned with field agents who are directly involved in surveillance and on-the-ground operations. Conducting investigations is generally a broader role that may involve multiple personnel, including agents, analysts, or other specialists, rather than a function designated specifically to the SES.
