The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service was the Australian federal government agency responsible for managing the security and integrity of the Australian border. It facilitated the movement of legitimate international travellers and goods, whilst protecting the safety, security and commercial interests of Australians. At the time of its dissolution, the agency formed part of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection. The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service employed over 5,800 people around Australia and overseas and was headquartered in Canberra. ==Agency role== The Service defined its role as follows: ''“Our role is complex and diverse and requires a very considered and increasingly targeted approach to conducting our business. If we do not manage our responsibilities effectively, the potential impacts… may negatively affect the Australian community, international travellers and trade relations both here and overseas”'' 〔(CEO Review ), Customs and Border Protection, 1 May 2012〕 The Service was Australia's predominant border control agency. From international travellers at airports, to overseas mail and trade brought in by sea, it was responsible for the continued safety and security of the people and goods that travel across Australia's borders.〔(About Us ), Customs and Border Protection, 1 May 2012〕 The Service used an intelligence-led, risk-based approach to managing threats, focussing on specific targets that may pose a risk to the border. This allowed the agency to plan coordinated responses, interventions and strategies with various other government agencies, including; Australian Crime Commission, Australian Federal Police, Attorney-General’s Department, Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Department of Defence, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Department of Immigration and Border Protection and the Office of Transport Security.〔(Partner Agencies ), Border Protection Command, 1 May 2012〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Australian Customs and Border Protection Service」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
