This bill establishes a five-year pilot program within the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Office of Field Operations to create specialized Image Technician positions. The program introduces two roles, Image Technician 1 and Image Technician 2, designed to enhance border security by focusing on the analysis of non-intrusive inspection images of conveyances and containers at ports of entry. Image Technician 1s will review images to identify anomalies indicating contraband, unlawfully entering persons, or illicit merchandise, then recommend either release or further inspection to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officer. Image Technician 2s perform these duties while also receiving and reporting intelligence on malign actor tactics to the National Targeting Center. These civilian technicians, who are not law enforcement officers, will operate from five newly established regional command centers. All image technicians will receive comprehensive annual training on privacy, image analysis, and identifying illicit tactics, with their performance assessed annually for accuracy and timeliness. Crucially, Supervisory U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officers will oversee technicians and retain full discretion and final decision-making authority for all inspections and releases. The program mandates semiannual reports to Congress detailing its impact on interdiction rates, wait times, and overall image review capabilities.
