Michael Cutler: Don't Privatize Border Patrol Agent Training
By Andrew Cochran
Michael Cutler asked me to post his comments on the hearing I saw a bit of the May 24 hearing conducted by the Subcommittee on Management of the House Committee on Homeland Security about the possibility of "privatizing" the training of new Border Patrol Agents:
"Let me tell you from the outset that I am opposed to such privatization. I could not imagine the FBI or Secret Service doing this, nor could I imagine the United States Marine Corps privatizing their training. Training new agents is a critical aspect of the Border Patrol or any law enforcement agency because the training is not only is designed to teach critical skills but to also indoctrinate the new recruits into the culture of the agency. With all of the "stuff" that has been happening where the security of our nation's borders are concerned we should be focused on morale as well as training. Privatization of the academy is absolutely not the way to get the job done properly!"
