When Anthony J. Porvaznik was deployed to Bolivia in 1992 to crack down on raw materials being sold for drugs, he said he learned an important less of being a part of Border Patrol.
“That experience taught me to emphasize the safety and value of the officers serving,” Porvaznik told the Yuma Sun.
Porvaznik plans to use that experience as the new chief patrol agent for the Yuma Sector.
“It’s great the level of experience and dedication that the agents have to the mission,” he said. “Yuma and its communities are very supportive of the work that Border Patrol does.”
Porvaznik said he’s excited and grateful about the new job.
“I am very humbled and honored to have been offered this job,” he said. “Yuma Sector is a great place to start off as a chief.”
