is becoming increasingly multi-skilled, dynamic and flexible. Border Force has a workforce
model clearly setting out roles and skills coupled with a strategic workforce planning
process enabling effective identification of resourcing needs, training requirements
and the effective deployment of staff. Staff can be deployed to areas of greatest
need at short notice.</p><p>Border Force uses an intelligence led approach to detecting
