We got a lot of positive calls on the operation. We get tips from the general public. People see drunken driving as a general crime, as a crime that impacts on the community. We did not create the criminals, we only enforce the laws. INS is no different from any other place.
Ethics conduct is one of the major things at the academy.
When they enter the field it is again ingrained about accountability and ethics. At the ports of entry we have put things in place such as unannounced bumps, when an officer is taken off his or her spot. To avoid compromising an officer and for his own protection, we'll do unannounced bumps, which is to say a supervisor at any time can have another officer relieve an officer so that somebody waiting to see that officer will have that opportunity taken away. We will also do unannounced operations called preprimary operations, which is putting officers, sometimes in conjunction with Customs, in front of the booths. We'll just put officers up there and start inspecting cars before the cars get to the inspection area.
