How do you get along with other border patrol officers?
The interviewer wants to gauge if you can maintain healthy relationships in the workplace. They want to know more about the dynamics with your coworkers. Think about what you enjoyed about some of your relationships with past coworkers. Excellent communication, a sense of humor, and support are all great qualities that make coworker relationships healthy and harmonious.
"I get along great with my coworkers. I try to maintain a positive attitude and be supportive, whether I am offering to assist someone who is overwhelmed, or if I am taking time to listen to someone who is having a bad day."
"I have not worked with other border patrol officers as I am just starting in this field. However, I can get along with many different individuals and have always gotten along well with my coworkers. I appreciate diversity and experience, and I look forward to learning from everyone on your team."
"One thing I have learned through my many years as a border patrol officer is that it never helps to bring an ego to work. I am happy to work harmoniously with everyone on the team. My references will also attest that I am easy to approach and get along with."
If you are new to the field and have not worked with border patrol officers before, focus on letting the interviewer know and give an example of how you worked with previous coworkers. If you have maintained healthy work relationships in the past, the interviewer can determine if you will be a good fit for their team.

I generally get along with those that I work with splendidly. Some people are more difficult than others to get along with; therefore, I remain professional and polite regardless of how they might behave.
