Huge welcome to our newest LESC Asset Management Branch employee! The branch provides logistics and accountability support for use-of-force equipment, armory services, firearms maintenance, and processing of seized firearms. Welcome to the @CBP LESC Team!
CBP personnel took on counter threat driving training while attending LESC’s PD TASC training course—mastering vehicle control on wet surfaces while identifying threats and assessing their environment in order to boost survivability and sharpen awareness for overseas assignments.
We recently held our LESC and @CBP Advanced Training Center’s 6th Annual Chili Cook-Off. Congratulations to the winners and a special thank you to the judges and everyone who participated!
Training meets reality in the Active Threat final scenario. Students move through a dynamic, high-pressure event that challenges their awareness, communication, and response skills when every second counts.
