Statement Upon the Occasion of the Field Office's Anniversary

Honoring our past while looking to the future. The Director addresses the workforce on our continued commitment to the republic.

On the occasion of the Field Office's anniversary, I want to recognize the men and women whose service defines this institution. Your work is rarely seen and seldom celebrated, yet it is the quiet foundation on which the security of this region rests.

We honor those who came before us by holding to the standards they set: integrity without exception, accountability without excuse, and respect for the rights of every person we are sworn to protect.

The threats we face will continue to evolve. So will we. I am confident that the dedication of this workforce will carry us through whatever the coming year demands.
