The San Diego Sector Border Patrol recently held a Change of Command ceremony in Coronado, California, to formally establish Rodney S. Scott as the chief patrol agent (CPA) for the San Diego Sector.

U.S. Border Patrol Acting Chief Carla Provost presided over the ceremony.

“I am honored and elated to assume command of the San Diego Sector,” CPA Scott said. “My goal is to provide enthusiastic leadership that empowers the men and women of the sector to excel. I also look forward to building community partnerships and collaborating with area stakeholders for stronger border security and community safety.”

In his new role, CPA Scott oversees eight Border Patrol stations and manages more than 2,400 law enforcement agents and support staff. San Diego Sector is responsible for 60 linear miles of international boundary with Mexico and the entire California coastal region.

Prior assuming command of the San Diego Sector, CPA Scott served as the CPA of the El Centro Sector, deputy chief patrol agent at SDC and as the patrol agent in charge at the Brown Field Station in SDC.

CPA Scott was also assistant chief within CBP’s Office of Anti-Terrorism in Washington, D.C. and the director and division chief for the Incident Management and Operations Coordination Division at CBP Headquarters.
