Border Patrol Briefing

Trip Cost: Free

YOU MUST BE VETTED TO  ATTEND THIS FIELD TRIP

information entered on the registration form will be mailed to the Border Patrol for vetting before the event.

Groups that attend are briefed with a Border Patrol 101 presentation.  It is conducted in the conference room and it provides a basic oversight on Border Patrol Operations.  The presentation takes anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour.  Questions are encouraged during the presentation.  Once BP 101 concludes, there will be a station walk through.  It is presented so that groups may have the chance to view some of the gear and updated technology.  Questions are also encouraged during the walk through.  Carpooling is highly recommended since parking will be limited. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water. 

Meet at the Camera Club at 7:45 am and depart at 8:00 am. 

Lunch will be on your own.

Last sign up date is January 12, 2020

NOTICE:

All participants need to be responsible for an assessment of their mobility and health issues relating to field trips. Some trips may not be appropriate, but you must make that determination. However, the trip leader may deny participation in a specific field trip to anyone deemed not suitably prepared or able to walk with the group.

The club strives to provide several field trips specifically designed for members with physical limitations. 

You must be a GVR member and a member of the Camera Club to attend this field trip.
