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 union affiliation.

Below, you can learn about our programs and activities, how our original mission has expanded over time, about our 2008 organizational goals, and how we serve as law enforcement advocates. We don't advocate other issues that have nothing to do with 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 think you'll agree, FOBP works and fills a need no one else does, which benefits law enforcement and our communities.

How FOBP Advocates For Law Enforcement

FOBP 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."
