Border Force is a part of the Home Office, responsible for frontline border control operations at air, sea and rail ports in the United Kingdom. The force was part of the now defunct UK Border Agency from its establishment in 2008 until Home SecretaryTheresa May demerged it in March 2012 after severe criticism of the senior management.[1]
(Redirected from UK Border Force)
Since 1 March 2012, Border Force has been a law-enforcement command within the Home Office, accountable directly to ministers. Border Force is responsible for immigration and customs at 140 rail, air and sea ports in the UK and western Europe, as well as thousands of smaller airstrips, ports and marinas.[2] The work of the Border Force is monitored by the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration.
Border Force officers are not police constables and the Border Force is not a police force. However, aside from powers listed below in relation to immigration and customs, section 2 of the Borders Act 2007 does allow designated members of the Border Force to detain anyone for any criminal offence or arrest warrant at a port if the Border Officer thinks they would be liable to arrest by a police constable. The power allows detention for 3 hours pending the arrival of a police constable. The power also applies to points of entry in Belgium and France where Border Officers work whereby the Border Officer will turn the detained person over to Belgian or French police officers as appropriate.[3]
History[edit]
Border Force was born out of a confusing decade for the UK immigration and customs after several attempts of reform and re-structure. Prior to 2007 three agencies were responsible for border control in the UK: HM Revenue and Customs (HM Customs and Excise till 2005) dealt with customs, Immigration and Nationality Directorate dealt with all immigration roles within the UK and at the border, and UKVisas issued visas both from the UK and its offices abroad. As early as 2003, a single 'border police force' had been proposed.[4] In 2005, HMCE and Inland Revenue merged to form HMRC, however HMRC was still responsible for customs control at the border until 2009. Throughout 2006 and 2007 there were suggestions for a merged border control department.[5]
Initially this plan was to turn the Immigration and Nationality Directorate into a uniformed body of Immigration officers at the border, the Border and Immigration Agency. The BIA was created on 1 April 2007. It was short lived and was replaced only a year later on 1 April 2008 by the UK Border Agency (UKBA). The UK Border Agency was a merger of the Border and Immigration Agency (BIA), UKvisas and the port customs functions of HM Revenue and Customs. It created one of the largest law enforcement bodies in the UK.
UKBA had a chequered history. There were difficulties with the management of student visas under Tier 4 of the Points-Based System. The assessment of the Independent Chief Inspector, carried out between July and August 2010, found that there was an inconsistent response towards applications, with some cases given extra time to prepare and others dismissed for minor reasons.[6]
In November 2011, the Home Affairs Select Committee issued a report that found that 124,000 deportation cases had been shelved by the UKBA. The report said the cases had been dumped in a 'controlled archive', a term used to try to hide the fact from authorities and auditors that it was a list of lost applicants.[7]
Following allegations that staff were told to relax some identity checks, in November 2011 the UK Home Office suspended Brodie Clark, the Head of the UK Border Agency;[8] Carole Upshall, director of the Border Agency South and European Operation;[9] Graham Kyle, director of operations at Heathrow Airport.[8] The Home Office investigated allegations that Clark had agreed to 'open up the borders' at certain times in ways ministers would 'not have agreed with'.[8] It is alleged that between July and the end of October 2011, queues at passport control were 'managed' so as not to annoy holiday makers.[9] The BBC reported that staff may have been told not to scan biometric passports at certain times. A biometric passport contains a digital image of the holder's face, which can be used to compare with the printed version and check the passport has not been forged.[8] It is also believed that 'warning index checks' at Heathrow and Calais were also suspended, which would have applied strict security checks against official watchlists of terrorists, criminals, and deported illegal immigrants.[10]
After Clark refused the offer to take early retirement, he was suspended and the investigation began.[8] A two-week inquiry led by former Metropolitan Police detective Dave Wood, head of the agency's enforcement and crime group at the time, sought to discover to what extent checks were scaled down, and what the security implications might have been. A second investigation, led by former MI6 official Mike Anderson, the Director General of the Home Office's strategy, immigration and international group, sought to investigate wider issues relating to the performance of UKBA regarding racism. The issues relating to lost documents and case files was still going on at the same time, along with a backlog of cases.
It was then announced on 5 November by Theresa May that an independent inquiry would also be undertaken, led by the Chief Inspector of the UK Border Agency, John Vine.[11] Following all these combined failings, UK Border Force became a separate organisation on 1 March 2012.[12]
The first Director General of Border Force was the former Chief Constable of Wiltshire PoliceBrian Moore, who was appointed on secondment on an interim basis to last until 31 August 2012 and was expected to apply for the position permanently, despite criticism of his management of passport queues.[13] On 10 July 2012, Immigration Minister Damian Green confirmed that Moore had not applied for the post, despite Moore earlier telling the Home Affairs Select Committee that he would be applying.
Tony Smith was appointed as interim Director General of Border Force on 19 September 2012.[14] Smith was previously Gold Commander for the London 2012 Olympic Programme and Regional Director for London and the South East in the UK Border Agency. and has spent forty years in border control and enforcement work.
Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Montgomery was named as the new Director General on 25 January 2013.[15] In June 2017 Montgomery left Border Force and Paul Lincoln a civil servant from the MOD and Home office appointed as the new Director General.[16] Neither of the two had any previous experience of immigration or customs.
Responsibilities[edit]
The stated responsibilities of the Home Office's Border Force are the following:[17][18]
Border Force is responsible for immigration and customs at 140 rail, air and sea ports in the UK and western Europe, as well as thousands of smaller airstrips, ports and marinas.
Powers[edit]
Staff hold a mixture of powers granted to them by their status as immigration officers and designated customs officials.
Immigration powers[edit]
Immigration officers have powers of arrest and detention conferred on them by the Immigration Act 1971 and subsequent Immigration Acts, when both at ports and inland. In practice, non-arrest trained Border Force immigration officers exercise powers under Schedule 2 of the Immigration Act 1971, while inland immigration officers work under S28A-H of the Immigration Act 1971 and paragraph 17 of Schedule 2 of the same Act, as do arrest-trained Border Force immigration officers at the frontier.
Historically, port and inland immigration officers received different training to reflect these different approaches to immigration enforcement, which is now reinforced by inland officers working for Immigration Enforcement, a separate Home Office Command.
'Designated Immigration Officers' are Border Force immigration officers who have been designated with additional detention powers, under Sections 1 to 4 of the UK Borders Act 2007, where a person at a port or airport is suspected of being liable to arrest by a police officer for non-border offences.
Customs powers[edit]
Border Force officers, designated as customs officials under the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009, have wide-ranging powers of entry, search, seizure and arrest. They hold the same customs and excise powers as officers of HM Revenue and Customs, but cannot use HMRC powers for non-border matters, such as Income Tax and VAT. Amongst their powers is the ability to arrest anyone who has committed, or whom the officer has reasonable grounds to suspect has committed, any offence under the Customs and Excise Acts. They may also seize prohibited and restricted goods, such as controlled drugs and firearms, as well as ensuring that imported goods bear the correct taxes and duties.[19]
Training[edit]
The Border Force Officer training pathway consists of three standaloneprogrammes aligned to professional frameworks includingthe Operational Delivery Framework, Civil Service CompetencyFramework and European Sectoral Qualifications Framework.
Core Skills 1 programme is a three part programme designed totest both skills and knowledge of the immigration function at the PrimaryControl Point (PCP), as well as some customs functions. The three partsinclude pre course online learning, classroom learning and mentoring.
The classroom element is a three week programme combining assessment,role-play, live and theoretical tests. This is then followed by a period ofconsolidated learning (mentoring) in an operational environment, whichcan take up to 4 weeks. Once all three strands of the programme havebeen completed and all the necessary tests and assessments have beenpassed, this will give successful officers the power to act under the Immigration Act.
Following this initial phase your training will include:⢠ongoing on-the-job mentoring⢠Some specialist training as well as the Core Skills 3 programme, which includesfurther classroom training normally undertaken within 12 months.
Core Skills 2 is the customs course. This consists of a 5 week course plus about 5 weeks of mentoring.
Core Skills 3 which is the investigation/casework immigration course. This consists of 15 day course plus 3/4 weeks of mentoring.
In addition there is Personal safety training (PST) (self defence/restraint/handcuffing/baton training).
Organisation[edit]
The Home Office buildings in Sheffield
Border Force has five operational regions: Central; Heathrow; North; South; and South East & Europe. The regions have responsibility for securing the border 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at the UKâs ports, airports, postal depots and rail. This includes the Eurostar from Brussels and Paris to St Pancras International and the Eurotunnel from Coquelles to Folkestone.
The regionsâ varied work includes stopping 100 per cent of passengers arriving at ports or airports for immigration controls. Officers also conduct risk-led interceptions for controlled drugs, cash, tobacco, alcohol, firearms, offensive weapons, prohibited goods, counterfeit goods and clandestine entrants. They do this at passenger and freight controls, covering passengers travelling on foot, by car, coaches, freight vehicles, as well as air freight and sea containers.
Common travel area[edit]
Immigration control within the United Kingdom is managed within a wider Common Travel Area (CTA). The CTA is an intergovernmental agreement that allows freedom of movement within an area that encompasses the UK, Isle of Man, Channel Islands (Guernsey, Jersey, Sark and Alderney) and the Republic of Ireland. Authorised entry to any of the above essentially allows entry to all the others but it is the responsibility of the person entering to ensure that they are properly documented for entry to other parts of the CTA. Despite the CTA it is still possible to be deported from the UK to the Republic of Ireland and vice versa.
Juxtaposed controls[edit]
Entry to the UK via the Channel Tunnel from France or Belgium or by ferry through selected ports in north-east France is controlled by juxtaposed immigration controls in Britain, France, and Belgium, i.e. travellers clear UK passport control in France or Belgium and those travelling to France or Belgium clear French controls while in the UK. Belgium does not maintain controls in the UK as the first Schengen country entered is France. UK Border Force checkpoints in France are operated at Gare de Calais-Fréthun, Gare de Lille Europe, Channel Tunnel, Calais ferry terminal, Dunkirk ferry terminal and Gare du Nord station, Paris. For passengers arriving by the Eurostar train from Marne-la Vallée Chessy, UK border control takes place at the arrival stations in the UK. A checkpoint operated at Boulogne-sur-Mer until the port closed in August 2010. United States border preclearance is an equivalent system operated by that country's equivalent to the UKBF at some airports outside the US.
Equipment[edit]Officer equipment[edit]
Border Force officers wear a uniform with rank insignia. Border Force uniform is navy blue and, currently, modelled on the Metropolitan Police uniform. Border Force officers can make use of body armour and carry handcuffs, as well as extendable batons. Limb restraints are also in circulation. Officers also carry Tetra radios on the secure Airwave network, often with earpieces, to communicate with other officers.[20] In addition, officers may also carry other useful police equipment, such as torches. Torches currently issued, depending on location and job role, include Lenser LED P7.2 and Maglite LED 2D & 3D Cell.
Specialist forgery detection equipment is available at ports and airports to identify false passports and identity documents. Customs officials make use of a variety of specialised tools and equipment when searching cars, lorries, aircraft, container ships and other items crossing the border.
Rank insignia[edit]
Uniformed Border Force officers have their rank displayed on shoulder epaulettes, attached to their shirt, jumper or jacket. Warranted officers below Senior Officer rank may also have their identification number displayed. The rank and epaulette styling is in line with many other border agencies and shares close similarities with its Australian counterpart, the Australian Border Force.[citation needed]
Vessels[edit]
All vessels of the Border Force bear the ship prefix 'HMC'âHer Majesty'sCutter. Between May and October 2015 two of the vessels, HMC Protector and HMC Seeker, were deployed in the Mediterranean conducting search and rescue operations. The Border Force also has a recently chartered vessel named MV VOS Grace.[21]

Former members of the armed forces have told the BBC they feel discriminated against because they can't apply for Border Force jobs.
The Border Force manages UK border controls on customs and immigration.
The Home Office advertised for positions in the rest of the UK stating that applicants needed two A levels or military service.
In Northern Ireland the application criteria has been changed following advice from the Equality Commission.
The Commission says the reliance on military service could discriminate against Catholics and women here - so it was removed as an alternative to A levels.
Michael Wardlow, Chief Commissioner with the Equality Commission said: 'Because the military are made up predominately in this place from the protestant community and also from males rather than females it was possible that those from a catholic community or females would feel that this was indirectly discriminatory. '
However one catholic ex-soldier who did not wish to be identified has spoken to BBC NI's 'The View' programme.
The army veteran applied to the Border Force but was told that because he did not have two A levels his application could not proceed.
He said: 'I just feel let down. I just feel very disappointed, very frustrated.'
He added: 'I initially sent an email to Border Force and they did not respond and it was only after two phone calls and a further email that someone got back to me and if it was just a very limp apology and unfortunately they said that this time that was the criteria.
'I am a veteran and I am sure there were many other veterans who tried to apply. '
Another former soldier who was interested in applying for one of the jobs was Mel Brown.

She told the BBC: 'Whenever jobs like this do come up when you can actually you know be out there and be very up front with what your past employment has been.
'It was a severe disappointment to see it turn the way it actually did. I felt very let down. Very let down indeed.'
Unionist politicians have criticised the decision to make the criteria in Northern Ireland different from the rest of the UK.
TUV Leader Jim Allister was one of the first to highlight the rule change and the move has also been criticised by the DUP MP Gavin Robinson, the UUP MLA Doug Beattie and the North Down MP Lady Hermon.
The issue has been raised at Westminster and the Immigration Minster Caroline Noakes was quizzed by members of the Northern Ireland Affairs committee.
She told MPs that the government were guided by the employment advice they received from the Equality Commission.
She said: 'The Equality Commission for Northern Ireland raised this as a concern and we were obliged to remove it.'
It is the latest controversy to surround jobs within the Border Force.
First there was a row when a British passport was deemed essential but that prompted advice from the Equality Commission saying that precluded Irish passport holders - or those without a passport.
The Home Office then dropped the British passport only rule. The move was applauded by a number of nationalist politicians including the SDLP MLA Claire Hanna and Sinn Fein MLA Conor Murphy.
The Border Force recruitment process is currently ongoing.

The UK is to deploy two extra Border Force ships to the English Channel to try to disrupt a recent increase in people trying to reach the UK from France in small and often unseaworthy boats, Sajid Javid has announced.
The home secretary said two Border Force cutters would be moved as part of wider efforts to ensure the route does not become more popular in response to several days of headlines about a rise in the still relatively tiny number of people attempting the crossing.

The two cutters, the Border Forceâs biggest class of patrol boats, had been working with Greek authorities on anti-people smuggling and rescue operations in the Aegean. They will join another cutter and two other patrol vessels already in the Channel.
Javid, who cut short a family holiday in South Africa to return to the UK to deal with what he has officially designated a âmajor incidentâ, said the redeployment was about trying to secure borders and prevent deaths among those making the trip.
âWhen it comes to human life, clearly I want to make sure we are doing all we can to protect people, and we must remember that this is one of the most treacherous stretches of water that there is â 21 miles, people taking grave risks,â Javid told Sky News after he chaired a meeting of the Border Force, National Crime Agency and other government departments and agencies.
On Monday morning a group of 12 people who said they were Iranian, including two women and a 10-year-old, were taken in by Border Force officials after landing at a beach in Greatstone, near Romney in Kent, in a black dinghy.
A number of Iranian nationals have been among the 220-plus people believed to have attempted such a journey in the past six weeks. It is believed the increased numbers attempting the crossing is due to tougher security around ports and the Channel tunnel, and worsening conditions for them in northern France.
Javid said the new patrol vessels would be part of âaction on many frontsâ to try to deter people. This will also include stronger law enforcement with the French, new efforts to disrupt attempted crossings and measures to ensure more of those who make the trip are returned to France.
The initiatives follow a phone call on Sunday between Javid and the French interior minister, Christophe Castaner. Free download lagu rohani mp3.
Javid said: âI want to send a very strong signal to people who do think about making this journey â we will do everything we can to make sure it is not a success, in the sense that I donât want people to think that if they leave a safe country like France that they can get to Britain and just get to stay.â
Asked whether the numbers involved merited the response, Javid said: âSome people say, these arenât huge numbers, but letâs also remember that our job here is to make sure this doesnât turn into a new route for ever-increased illegal migration, so I want to stop it now as much as I possibly can.â
The home secretary has in recent days referred several times to the people making the trip as âillegalâ migrants, even though it is not against the law to seek asylum in a country. Asked about his use of the term by Sky, he did not answer the question. There was no response from the Home Office when it was asked for clarification.
The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has urged a more compassionate response, saying the UK has âa duty to reach out the hand of humanity, support and friendship to people who are in danger and seeking a place of safetyâ.
The chief executive of the British Red Cross, Mike Adamson, urged the government to provide people with âsafe alternativesâ to risking the Channel crossing.

He said: âPeople only attempt perilous journeys like crossing the Channel because they are desperate. It is deeply concerning that men, women and children feel they have no choice but to put their lives at risk in their search for a safe place to live.â
Downing Street has backed the home secretaryâs response following anonymous briefings that Javid should not have been so far away from the UK at Christmas. Asked if Theresa May asked him to return from South Africa, the prime ministerâs spokeswoman said: âNo. He returned to ensure he was leading the governmentâs response to this issue.â
Asked if this was a crisis, she added: âAs the home secretary has himself said, weâve seen a sharp increase in the number of migrants attempting to cross the Channel in small boats, and thatâs deeply concerning. And itâs right that relevant government departments, led by the Home Office, should be doing all that they can do to address it.â
