Local 1613 of the National Border Patrol Council is the exclusive representative of Border Patrol agents and support personnel assigned to the San Diego Sector of the U.S. Border Patrol. Local 1613 aggressively and successfully engages in representation on behalf of all bargaining unit members to support our motto: “Protecting Those Who Protect Our Borders!”

The executive board is comprised of volunteers consisting of current or retired Border Patrol agents or support personnel who were elected by the membership in accordance with the local constitution and by-laws. All other representatives are also volunteers who are appointed by the executive board.
