Back-Up Power to its Video Management Alert – CBP Needs to Provide Adequate Emergency Surveillance Systems at the Blaine Area Ports to Ensure Secure and Safe Operations (REDACTED)
This alert informs you of an urgent issue we discovered during an ongoing audit and the actions CBP has taken to address the issues. Specifically, we found inadequate emergency back-up power for operating the Blaine Command Center’s centralized video surveillance system equipment and video surveillance camera equipment at Pacific Highway and Peace Arch land ports of entry during power outages.

This report presents a summary of the results of our self-initiated audits assessing mail delivery, customer service, and property conditions at three select delivery units in the Atlanta, GA, region. The three delivery units we audited were the McDonough Main Post Office (MPO), Old National Station, and Stockbridge MPO. We judgmentally selected these delivery units based on the number of Stop-the-Clock (STC) scans occurring at the delivery unit, rather than at the customer’s point of delivery, and indicators for undelivered mail. We previously issued interim reports to district management for each of these units regarding the conditions we identified. In addition, we issued a report on the efficiency of operations at the Atlanta, GA, Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC), which services these three delivery units. The delivery units serve about 249,704 people in several ZIP Codes, which are considered predominantly urban communities.
The objectives of our evaluation were to determine (1) the mission, legal basis, and authority for such functions and whether relevant statutes and guidelines are satisfied, (2) whether the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) law enforcement function developed plans and policies for oversight of their jurisdictions and offices and the extent to which oversight was provided within BIS, (3) whether training for the BIS’ law enforcement officers is adequate and up-to-date, and (4) the extent to which the U.S. Department of Commerce (Department) provides oversight to ensure that BIS' law enforcement powers are properly exercised within jurisdictional limits. We found that I. BIS Has the Legal Basis and Authority for Its Law Enforcement Functions, II. Oversight Policies and Procedures Need Improvement III. Office of Export Enforcement Has Procedures to Provide Adequate Training, but Oversight of Firearms Qualifications and Training Needs Improvement IV.The Department Provides Oversight of BIS Law Enforcement Functions.
