To read more click HERE Welcome to Friends of the Border Patrol and our website. FOBP was created in 2004 with the primary objective of educating the public concerning duties, responsibilities, and effectiveness of federal law enforcement officers and operations in domestic border security. Through the generous tax deductible donations of supporters, FOBP provides technical, financial, and legal support of law enforcement agents/officers and unlike donations made to many unions or groups, donations to FOBP are one-hundred percent tax deductible. Furthermore, we provide assistance to all law enforcement officers engaged in their duties regardless of agency or union affiliation. Below, you can learn about our programs and activities, how our original mission has expanded over time, our updated organizational goals, and how we serve as law enforcement advocates. We don't advocate other issues that have nothing to do with national/border security and then ask you for a donation by bandwagoning on a single issue where security or agents are mentioned. Also, we don't ask you to donate to us because we offer fax forms/report cards, or an occasional media focused lobby event. We focus solely on border/national security and the agents, deputies, officers, and troopers defending America. We specialize in assisting law enforcement whistleblowers fighting trumped up charges by incompetent managers to discredit officers exposing security compromises. Keep in mind that we cannot operate and assist America's officers, or expose security compromises without your generous 100% tax-deductible donation. America's officers need to do their jobs without obstruction or intimidation from the Johnny Sutton's of the world. However, they cannot do their jobs or blow the whistle without independent public advocates who are not employed by the same agency. We don't have a labor pool of employees paying dues maintaining our efforts. As a result, it makes your help even more imperative for us to continue our work. We think you'll agree, FOBP works and fills a need no one else does, which benefits law enforcement and our communities. Where The Donations Go - FOBP's Programs & ActivitiesPeople often ask us, how does FOBP utilize donations outside of assisting the officers financially? Simply put we conduct investigations that don't always get reported to the media. In all honesty, some issues cannot be discussed publicly unless heard in direct testimony before the Congress due to the sensitive materials involved. Many officers won't talk over the phone due to the Patriot Act, which requires us to meet in person to discuss things further. It takes donations and grants to meet in person with law enforcement officers, observe the borders and ports of entry, and to travel to Washington DC and report often sensitive operational matters to Congressional Committees and leaders. We have provided a partial listing of our many programs and activities so you can get an idea of where the money goes... Click HERE to review FOBP's programs and learn how we assist law enforcement How FOBP's Mission ExpandedWith the infamous prosecution cases of U.S. Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean and the lesser known cases of Agents Sipe, Brugman, Customs Officer Rhodes, and Deputy Sheriff Hernandez, the role of FOBP evolved and expanded in 2006 to meet the newest threat to law enforcement - being attacked by their own for doing their job. We investigated many cases, assisting where possible, and discovered a pattern of abuse that includes suppression of evidence and suborning perjury by our own government. We have come to call this pattern of cases "The War on Law Enforcement", which you can learn more about at the section of the same name. You can also learn by reading our newest report, which outlines it fully (just below our site menu to the right). We continue to assist attorneys working on cases involving officers and agents from CBP Customs, Border Patrol, ICE, and other agencies. How FOBP Advocates For Law EnforcementFOBP is unlike other organizations confronting border security issues. FOBP is a multifaceted non-partisan 501 (c) (3) organization (non-profit) which maintains a primary role of directly assisting all border law enforcement officers in the performance of their lawful duties. We assist "whistle blowers" in disclosing critical information, aid in providing attorneys to agent's wrongly prosecuted or removed from their positions, conduct extensive information gathering and analysis, and speak authoritatively on border security issues. FOBP has testified before Congressional committees, prepared position papers and submitted written testimony before Congress, and spoken publicly regarding the situation facing national security professionals. Our organization relies, in significant part, on a network of current and former law enforcement officers as well as specialists in the area of federal labor and employee relations, and attorneys assisting their LEO clients. If the primary motivation that so many claim is to help our officers, rather finance publicity motivated activities such as fence building, or border watches, you can directly help our own law enforcement officers under siege by our own government by supporting our work. Support our work and say today, "Yes, I am a Friend of the Border Patrol, and of law enforcement." |
