IBETs allow law enforcement officers from along our northern border to collaborate in real time and share information and expertise with their Canadian counterparts. This strategy has paid off along our northern border. In the past year alone. IBETs helped to break up several organized criminal operations that were smuggling drugs and people into the United States. leading to dozens of arrests and confiscation of millions of dollars in drug and cash. I have seen firsthand how important this program is to local border protection officers. One of the 15 current IBET sites is in my district in Sault Ste. Marie.
