For the first time, the European Union is creating its uniformed service
– the European Border and Coast Guard standing corps. It will be composed of
Frontex and EU Member States’ officers and will help European countries facing
challenges at their external borders.
Trained by the best and equipped with the latest that technology has to offer,
Frontex border and coast guards will be ready for tomorrow’s challenges at the
borders.
Each of the selected candidates will receive basic training of up to six months to be
ready for deployment in operational areas in January 2021. This will ensure that the
officers have the necessary skills to work together in any particular operational area,
fully complying with the applicable EU law and ethical standards.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR We are looking for applicants with experience in the law
enforcement field (such as police, customs, border and
coast guard), emergency services, civilian crisis manage-
ment, military or equivalent (active and retired). Each
candidate must speak English at intermediate level (B2).
WHAT WILL YOU DO Most Frontex border guards will wear uniforms, carry a
service weapon and will be able to perform duties such
as verifying a person’s identity and nationality, allowing
or refusing entry into the EU and patrolling between
border crossing points.
