With its rich history and dedication to duty, the Rio Grande Valley Sector has always had a reputation for accepting, meeting, and surpassing any challenge placed upon us. These accomplishments are attributed to the honor, loyalty and integrity consistently displayed by the Border Patrol Agents and Mission Support Staff of this sector.
As one of nine Border Patrol Sectors located along the United States southwest border, the Rio Grande Valley Sector serves to protect its citizens from terrorists and terrorist weapons illegally entering the United States by securing our borders with the right mixture of proven technology, enhanced infrastructure, and personnel. The Sector has six stations located on the border, two stations that staff strategically placed traffic checkpoints and one coastal station responsible for backup of the checkpoints and marine operations in the Gulf of Mexico. The Rio Grande Valley Sector operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is committed to protecting our Nation's borders.
