How frequently do Border Patrol agents conduct patrols?

Border Patrol agents conduct patrols continuously, 24/7, to ensure effective monitoring and enforcement along the borders. This round-the-clock presence allows agents to respond to incidents as they occur, deterring illegal activities such as human trafficking, drug smuggling, and unauthorized border crossings at any time of day or night. The nature of border security requires constant vigilance due to fluctuating traffic patterns and varying threats that can arise unexpectedly. This ensures that agents can proactively address potential issues and maintain safety and security at the borders at all times.
