00:00:06,780 --> 00:00:08,720
it is my honor
to welcome you.

00:00:09,340 --> 00:00:12,370
We're a team of dedicated
professionals who every day,

4
00:00:12,370 --> 00:00:15,630

You have now joined
this exceptional team

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,120
to stand guard against all
the hazards and threats we face,

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,110
and to enforce
the laws of our nation.

8
00:00:24,740 --> 00:00:26,430
It's a big job.

9
00:00:26,430 --> 00:00:28,610
We're up against
criminal organizations,

10
00:00:28,610 --> 00:00:32,460
terrorists, cyber-attacks,
pandemics and natural disasters.

11
00:00:33,010 --> 00:00:36,400
The danger is real,
but so is our dedication,

12
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,950
our professionalism
and our expertise.

13
00:00:39,550 --> 00:00:44,850
These risks, these hazards
are why we do what we do every day,

14
00:00:44,850 --> 00:00:48,940
so families across America can live
peaceful lives in a free country.

15
00:00:49,550 --> 00:00:52,830
I could not be prouder to serve
alongside the men and women

16
00:00:52,830 --> 00:00:54,980
