Station(s) type of work -
Naco & Douglas -Douglas and Naco are "Line Stations" meaning that they are both located on the border. There a numerous duties such as : Line watch, Transportation Check (busses and shuttle's) Traffic Ops(highway and checkpoint)I believe pretty much the same as all of the AZ stations save a few. They are both full gammett BP Stations. Guys and Gals stationed at either can expect to be absolute experts in all areas of Border Patrol work after a few years.(If they wish) Both stations utilize all of the latest BP technology and have the worst vehicles :). Why the worst vehicles? Because we spend the majority of our time patrolling the Border off road. The Naco and Douglas Stations are responsible for a huge chunk of border stretching from the New Mexico/AZ state line to the Coronado National Monument.

Shopping - Safeway Grocery and Drug, ALCO Store (has clothing, household, health & beauty, toys, electronics, etc), Family Dollar, Car quest Auto. "Old Bisbee" has various shops that sell antiques, and art.

Eateries - Some of the BEST dining in Cochise county is here.Café Roka, Bisbee Grille, and the Brewery to name a few! For something quick, try Burger King, Tachos Tacos, Pizza House, Ken's Oldtyme Pizza, Pizzarama, or Beto's.

Cellular Telephone - Sprint works well. Don't have any info on the others.
