U.S. Customs and Border Protection has deployed a remote video surveillance system in the Detroit Border Patrol Sector as part of the Secure Border Initiative’s Northern Border Project.
“The Northern Border Project technology deployment provides immediate capability to help Border Patrol agents expand their ability to detect, identify, classify, respond to and resolve illegal cross border activity,” said Secure Border Initiative executive director Mark Borkowski. “At the same time, this deployment will provide lessons learned that will enable CBP to design better-tailored, longer-term technology options for the northern border.”
Each RVSS system is comprised of four cameras – two day and two night cameras for 24/7 operations. The Detroit sector deployment consists of 11 RVSS sites along the St. Clair River. Ten of the sites are completed and operational with the eleventh scheduled for completion by the end of the year.
