Border Police
Boundary enforcement officers
Border Police are law enforcement units responsible for controlling movement across national boundaries.
They check documents, enforce immigration laws, and intercept contraband at ports of entry, land crossings, and coastlines.
The border police detained several people attempting to cross without papers.
Some countries distinguish border police from customs officers; others combine the functions.
