Border Patrol Supervisors Association

Welcome to the official website of the Border Patrol Supervisors Association (BPSA). Founded in 1990 in San Diego, California, the BPSA was established to provide Legal Defense Coverage to its members. In today’s challenging and litigious environment, our mission is to protect and support our members as they perform their duties, both on and off duty. For more details about coverage, please visit our coverage page.

Over the years, the BPSA has grown from a small group of fewer than 100 members to a nationwide organization representing supervisors across all 20 Border Patrol sectors, including DC Headquarters. While the San Diego Sector remains our largest base, we proudly serve members from coast to coast. Our volunteer Executive Board works tirelessly to ensure that dues to the PORAC Legal Defense Fund (LDF) remain current, safeguarding uninterrupted legal protection for our members.

The BPSA has a proud history of standing up for its members. In 1996, the association achieved a landmark victory by winning a lawsuit to secure Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) coverage for Supervisory Border Patrol Agents. While the pay structure has since changed, this accomplishment set the tone for the BPSA’s role in advocating for its members’ rights and benefits. Building on that legacy, the BPSA is now actively working with members of Congress to amend the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to include all agents in the overtime pay provision, ensuring equitable treatment for those serving on the frontlines.

Beyond legal defense and advocacy, the BPSA supports its members through annual scholarships, community engagement, and a festive Christmas event featuring a raffle to bring our community together.

As an organization built on trust, service, and advocacy, the BPSA remains dedicated to supporting our members. If you have any questions or would like to discuss how the BPSA can assist, please reach out to us at usbpsasecretary@gmail.com.
