Produced with the full cooperation of several agencies of the Department of Homeland Security, this reality series focuses on the work of border patrol officials who monitor land, sea and air in a bid to keep the United States secure. The show's producers make no bones about the fact that the series is intended to portray Homeland Security in a positive light. "The show is heartening," says executive producer Robert Shapiro. "It makes you feel good about these people who are doing their best to protect us."
