Walter N. Slosar has been named chief patrol agent in charge of the Border Patrol’s Big Bend Sector in Texas.
“I am honored to be selected to lead and serve alongside the men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol in the Big Bend Sector,” Slosar said in a statement. “We have an important mission to safeguard 517 miles of our nation’s border in one of the most rugged and remote regions along the Southwest Border and to combat transnational criminal organizations exploiting our area of operation.”
