An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:
具体的には、調査は違反調査と言われ、収集した情報等に基づき、法違反の疑いのある外国人や関係者から事情聴取を行う。違反調査では、強制的な調査も可能で、違反が判明すれば主任審査官が発付する収容令書に基づき身柄を収容する。法違反の疑いのある外国人を入国警備官が捕まえる摘発という手段もあり、警察官と連携して行う場合もある。
摘発された外国人等は、地方出入国在留管理局に設置された施設に収容される。そこでは、入国警備官が施設の警備、収容時の手続、収容された外国人の対応等を行う。また、入国審査官による違反審査等の結果、強制退去が決定した外国人を送還先国まで護送し、退去強制手続を完了させるのも入国警備官の仕事である。
入国警備官が退去強制手続または出国命令手続を執った外国人は1万8,908人（2024年）となっている。
