English term or phrase: Boarder Patrol
Estoy traduciendo un glosario de términos y me aparece "Boarder Patrol" sin ningún contexto. En Internet encuentro muchas páginas en inglés, pero no sé cuál es su traducción al español. ¿Alguien me puede echar una mano? ¡Muchas gracias por adelantado!

boarder patrol
¿Patrulla de la frontera?


Explanation:
The English is most unlikely to be "Boarder Patrol", far more likely "Border Patrol", which I suppose might be "patrulla de la frontera".

(A boarder is someone in a naval battle who jumps onto an enemy ship. Hence the naval command "Stand by to repel boarders!"

Make that \"Patrulla de frontera\" as Federica suggests.

boarder patrol
Patrulla de esquiadores sobre tabla


Explanation:
Sé que suena horroroso, pero la mayoría de los textos que encuentro en Google hablan de gente que esquía utilizando tablas similares a las de patinar, y que forman patrullas de vigilancia. Quizás si nos dices qué tipo de términos contiene el glosario podemos aproximar más la traducción.

Saludos,
