Teaching customs and border patrol agents to recognise red flags and suspicious behaviours will allow them to better target would-be lawbreakers while reducing friction for everyday travellers. It is an efficient, customer-friendly use of resources.

Customs and Border Control expressed “unequivocal commitment to implement the recommendations” made by an auditor general report released Thursday that outlined extensive deficiencies in the agency.

The newly formed Customs and Border Patrol – a merger of the former Immigration and Customs departments – represents not only a more efficient entity, but is an example of a change in the way policing decisions are made in Cayman, according to Michael Ebanks, deputy chief officer for human resources and immigration.
