Cross Border Aerial Law Enforcement Operations Act
S 1184 authorizes a joint U.S.-Canada aerial law enforcement program along the shared border, modeled after an existing maritime agreement. The program would involve U.S. agencies (like Customs and Border Protection and the Coast Guard) and Canadian law enforcement, operating within 50 miles of the border - except during emergencies or when required for safety. It mandates strict privacy and civil rights protections, including mandatory training for officers and requirements for congressional notification. The bill also requires a report on drone usage along the northern border within one year, assessing risks to privacy and interagency coordination. No new funding is authorized for this program.
