Originally scheduled to air on January 18, 2016 this episode was pushed back to January 21, 2016 due to scheduling issues.
Shawn Moran and Thane Gallagher go deep into technology issues affecting the Border Patrol in this episode. Thane discusses the training he recently attended for mobile applications in the field. This leads to a discussion on Border Patrol radios including audio of a dramatic incident in which an agent was assaulted.
The number of children and families crossing the border illegally is up 117% but the boys aren’t surprised since they predicted this very scenario. A lawsuit against the Border Patrol is now a class action suit and Paul Beeson takes over as Chief of the Tucson Sector.
Details about an upcoming contest are previewed as well.
