The Swiss Border Guard,[1] known as the Swiss Border Guard Command[2] (French: Corps des gardes-frontière,[3] German: Grenzwachtkorps,[4] Italian: Corpo delle guardie di confine,[5] Romansh: Corp da guardias da cunfin) was a federal law enforcement agency, which acted as both the border guard and customs service for Switzerland. It was a uniformed and armed section of the Federal Customs Administration, which is attached to the Federal Department of Finance.[6] It was the largest civilian security agency on a federal level.
The Swiss Border Guard took care of the prevention, intervention and repression concerning customs and migration related matters. It enforced border security and national compensating measures under the Schengen Agreement. The guard participated in international missions of the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders (Frontex).
