About the Team
Air and Marine Operations (AMO), a component of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), is an elite team of highly trained professionals dedicated to protecting America. The group is defined by its camaraderie, pride, and a shared purpose to intercept terrorists, weapons, and contraband before they can enter or attack the United States.
About the Role
As an Air Interdiction Agent (AIA), you will join a rewarding career in aviation-based law enforcement. This role is designed for skilled pilots seeking a mission-driven environment where they can utilize their expertise to detect, prevent, and apprehend threats via land vehicles, aircraft, or vessels. The position involves conducting air patrols, surveillance, and pursuit activities while monitoring suspect behavior and analyzing strategic intelligence. Beyond law enforcement, AIAs also support search and rescue and humanitarian efforts.
The role offers exceptional job stability and the opportunity to work with a team that values professional excellence. While duty locations are determined by operational and mission requirements, agents must be willing to serve within their selected region, which includes the Southeast, Southwest, and specific UAS locations across the country.
Hiring Process
The application process is streamlined and offers three distinct pathways to apply:
- Direct Application: Complete the Air Interdiction Agent applicant checklist and email it to a recruiter at cbp_amo_recruiting@cbp.dhs.gov along with your resume.
- USAJOBS: Submit your application directly through the USAJOBS portal.

Stay Updated: It is highly recommended to opt into CBP's talent repository by selecting the Contact a Recruiter button. Choose Air and Marine Operations and Air Interdiction Agent as your position of interest to receive monthly updates on webinars, career expos, and future opportunities.
Successful candidates will undergo a three-part assessment. A duty location will be offered after this assessment, and the final offer letter will specify a geographic location within the Southwest Border Region, Southeast Border Region, Caribbean Air and Marine Branch (CAMB), or National Air Security Operation Centers (NASOC) UAS locations.
