Continuing High-quality Evaluations of Concerning and Known Persons Of Interest through National Training updates Act or the CHECKPOINT Act

This bill requires the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to update certain offices and policies with respect to drug seizures and checkpoints.

For example, CBP must periodically assess the drug categories in its systems and update them to reflect the drug smuggling scenarios encountered by CBP agents, as necessary. CBP must also update immigration checkpoints with appropriate technology, such as license plate readers, and support intelligence centers on the southern border to combat transnational criminal organizations.
