What is the function of the 'Tracking and Sign Cutting Module'?

The 'Tracking and Sign Cutting Module' is primarily designed to oversee the tracking of individuals, particularly those attempting to cross borders illegally or evade detection. This module equips agents with the skills and techniques necessary to interpret physical signs left behind by individuals, such as footprints, disturbances in vegetation, or discarded items, which serve as indicators of recent activity in a specific area. By accurately identifying and following these signs, agents can effectively coordinate their efforts, leading to a greater likelihood of locating and apprehending individuals who may pose security threats or violate immigration laws.

While monitoring wildlife movements, assisting in navigation, and recording traffic violations are important tasks within their respective contexts, they fall outside the core purpose of this module. The emphasis here is specifically on tracking human activity, which is critical for law enforcement in border patrol operations.
