Bribery. Drug trafficking. Migrant smuggling.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is supposed to stop these types of
crimes. Instead, so many of its officers have been charged with committing
those crimes themselves that their boss in Washington recently issued an
alert about the "disturbing events" and the "increase in the number of
employee arrests."

Thomas S. Winkowski, assistant commissioner of field operations, wrote a
memo to more than 20,000 officers nationwide noting that employees must
behave professionally at all times -- even when not on the job.

"It is our responsibility to uphold the laws, not break the law," Winkowski
wrote in the Nov. 16 memo obtained by The Miami Herald.
