The primary objectives would be to protect members of the public, number one, and yourself and your fellow officers, number two. It would be just sitting there watching, being observant and looking for potential threats, looking for people who may be smuggling contraband. That's obviously their main role. At the same time, though, whether they're a police officer or a customs officer, they always have to be very vigilant as to potential threats and potential sources of harm for those people around them and for themselves. Their number one role would be to protect people around them if they're faced with a weapon or something of that nature.
