Humphrey, CBP is responsible for protecting the borders and ensuring the lawful flow of persons and goods into our country. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn discussions with the Gov. Ralph DLG Torres, adding five officer positions is one of the next steps we are taking here in the NMI. This additional officer positions\u2026will add strength to the existing number of officers at the airport,\u201d he said<\/p>\n<p>Humphrey said there are five local hires who are currently in the training academy. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a good message in terms of staffing and recruitment and we are headed in that direction. CBP also have plans of having job vacancy announcement every month as we only pick a select number of locations with critical needs and add that as an option for someone to apply as a starting point to begin their federal career,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Humphrey said that staffing is a critical component in the CBP but over the years they\u2019ve had a complete change of mindset, working with partners and what international travel means in the CNMI.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe no longer view this as only a CBP experience as we work very closely with the Commonwealth Ports Authority, carriers, we\u2019ve signed public partnership agreements for reimbursable services, the facilities, and technology that CPA and Marianas Visitors Authority have been supportive in rolling out,\u201d he said,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo it\u2019s more than just CBP or staffing issue\u2014it\u2019s the whole experience as well as working with the administration. We are excited where we are and where we are headed as CBP and our role contributing to the community. \u2026We know we have a role to play in terms of helping foster  lawful travel and trade, expanding economic opportunities, travel opportunities for visitors while at the same time, protecting the border,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Customs and Border Protection is amplifying its workforce by opening five officer positions in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":283889,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[2130,26,1198,122],"class_list":["post-283888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-cbp","tag-cnmi","tag-commonwealth-ports-authority","tag-travel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283888"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283888\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
