This would be very cool. You could have, on the 'same side', the local
militia/constabulary, who aren't enthused about noticing border
incursions
for a variety of reasons; and a central govt. patrol, lead by a gung-ho
officer who want to seal the border entirely...

Or do an urban setting, with police who don't want to find themselves in
the middle of a full-blown firefight, and SpecOps types who have an
entirely seperate mission... Different commands with different
objectives
on the 'same side' is an idea that can be used in loads of scenarios.
