E.P.P. 069 LONGWOOD POLICE DEPARTMENT ENFORCEMENT POLICY & PROCEDURE NUMBER: EPP – 69 SUBJECT: IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COMPLIANCE AND PROCEDURES EFFECTIVE: OCTOBER 1, 2026 REVISED: ENFORCEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COMPLIANCE AND PROCEDURES EPP – 69 Page 1 of 19 I. PURPOSE: The purpose of this policy is to establish constitutionally sound, legally compliant procedures for interactions with individuals suspected of immigration-related violations in order to enhance public safety by assisting the federal government in immigration enforcement actions. Longwood Police Department is committed to fully cooperating with federal immigration authorities while protecting the civil liberties of all persons, regardless of immigration status. This policy ensures consistency with federal law, Florida Statutes, and the U.S. Constitution. Further, this policy will provide direction for those members selected to participate in 287(g) programs. II. SCOPE: This policy applies to all Longwood Police Department members in the performance of official duties. It addresses the handling of suspected unauthorized aliens, administrative immigration warrants, detainers, and related procedures. III. DEFINITIONS: A. 287(g) Agreement: Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1357(g), as amended by the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public Law 107-276, authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security, or his/her designee, to enter into written agreements with a State or any political subdivision of a State so that qualified officers and employees can perform certain functions of an immigration officer. The Longwood Police Department has entered into such written agreement permitting for limited enforcement of immigration law by designated sworn members. B. Administrative Warrant: ENFORCEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COMPLIANCE AND PROCEDURES EPP – 69 Page 2 of 19 A civil document issued by ICE (e.g., Form I-200 or I-205) for immigration enforcement; it is not a judicial warrant and does not authorize arrest by non- federal personnel. C. Delegated Immigration Officer (DIO): A local law enforcement officer trained and deputized under 8 U.S.C. § 1357(g) to perform limited immigration enforcement duties under federal supervision. D. Immigration Detainer: A request issued by ICE, typically on Form I-247A, asking local law enforcement to maintain custody of a noncitizen for up to 48 hours beyond the period of criminal detention. Florida has specifically defined “Immigration detainer” in Section 908.102, Fla. Stat. (2025). E. Law Enforcement Support Center (LESC): ICE Law Enforcement Support Center, the designated point of contact for confirmation of immigration warrants via NCIC. F. Reasonable Suspicion (for the purposes of this directive): Factors that may contribute to reasonable suspicion (but are not always sufficient alone) that an individual is an unauthorized alien include the following: 1. Admission by the person of unlawful presence in the United States. 2. Lack of valid identification or immigration documents when questioned lawfully. 3. Presentation of foreign identification or a foreign passport by an individual who has been asked to identify themselves when coupled with the lack of a visa, lack of an immigration stamp showing inspection/entry, or either of these with dates that have expired may be indicative of unauthorized presence in the country. 4. Information from credible informants or other sources indicating the individual’s unlawful status, including, but not limited to the individual being listed as an alien who is illegally present in the United States, or is documented to have previous violations of immigration law in NCIC. 5. Behavior consistent with evasion, such as fleeing from immigration checkpoints or law enforcement. ENFORCEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COMPLIANCE AND PROCEDURES EPP – 69 Page 3 of 19 6. Inability to provide any information about lawful status, coupled with other indicators. 7. Recent illegal entry information. G. Supervisory Detention and Deportation Officer (SDDO): A law enforcement supervisor with ICE who manages the detention and removal aspects of immigration enforcement, ensuring the safe and secure environment for those in ICE custody, and overseeing the enforcement of immigration laws. H. Unauthorized Alien: A person who is unlawfully present in the United States as defined in § 908.111(4), Florida Statutes (2025), and the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). I. United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE): A division of the federal Department of Homeland Security responsible for enforcing federal laws governing customs, trade, and immigration. J. Warrant Service Officer (WSO): A member of the Department of Corrections staff who has been trained and deputized under 8 U.S.C. § 1357(g) to perform limited immigration enforcement duties under federal supervision within the John E. Polk Correctional Facility. IV. GENERAL: The enforcement of immigration laws is primarily a federal government responsibility. However, Longwood Police Department recognizes the mutual benefit of supporting immigration enforcement within constitutional and statutory limits. All members are expected to conduct themselves professionally and lawfully during any encounter involving a person suspected of being an unauthorized alien. Officers shall not detain or arrest individuals solely on the basis of suspected unlawful presence or the existence of an ICE administrative warrant unless specifically authorized and deputized under a 287(g) Agreement. Participating personnel who perform certain federal immigration enforcement functions are bound by all applicable federal civil rights statutes and regulations. V. PROCEDURES A. Determining Unauthorized Presence: ENFORCEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COMPLIANCE AND PROCEDURES EPP – 69 Page 4 of 19 During law enforcement contacts, it is common for officers to query a person’s biographical information via NCIC/FCIC to determine if any warrants or other notable information exists for the individual. When an officer has contact with a suspected or confirmed alien or foreign national, the officer shall query the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) to determine if the person has an ICE administrative warrant. Additionally, an Immigration Alien Query (IAQ) shall be sent to Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) via the Communications Center. If a timely response is not received, the officer shall contact the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Law Enforcement Support Center (LESC) at 1-877-999-5372 or 1-802-872-6020. 1. If an officer is physically present with a suspected unauthorized illegal alien, the word “ROADSIDE” shall be requested to be placed in the comment section of the IAQ by the Communications Center Operator, to request an expedited response to the query. 2. Upon receipt of a response from the IAQ, the LESC Query ID shall be documented, which will allow the officer to receive verbal confirmation of the subject’s status and further details of federal information on the subject via telephone from the LESC at 1-877-999-5372 or 1-802-872- 6020. 3. The LESC can only verify what information ICE has regarding the legal status of the individual and does not place holds or direct a physical ICE response. 4. If the officer determines that the person does not have an outstanding administrative warrant and has lawful status in the United States, then no further action is needed. B. Encounters Involving ICE Warrants or Immigration Detainers Alone: 1. Non-Delegated Immigration Officer (DIO): If a non-DIO officer detains or encounters someone who it is determined has an Administrative Warrant, but the officer does not have probable cause to arrest the individual for a state or local criminal charge, the officer does not have the legal authority to arrest and transport to jail solely on the ICE administrative arrest warrant. Officers who are not DIOs cannot serve, detain, or arrest anyone based solely on these administrative warrants. a. DIO Available: ENFORCEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COMPLIANCE AND PROCEDURES EPP – 69 Page 5 of 19 Non-DIO officers can contact on-duty members who have been credentialed as a DIO in order for that officer to conduct an investigation, provide confirmation, and take the individual into custody, if appropriate. b. No DIO Available: If a Longwood PD DIO is not present or cannot be present in a reasonable amount of time, the officer should request a DIO from the Florida Highway Patrol, or an ICE officer. Either of those officers can arrest the person on the ICE administrative warrant. If a DIO or ICE agent fails to arrive on the scene within a reasonable period of time (i.e., within the time it takes to accomplish the original purpose of the stop), officers should try to collect as much information from the person as possible so that they can be apprehended at a later time but must release the individual at the end of the stop/encounter. Officers should obtain photographs of the individual (front and side profiles), personal identifiable information, family or friend contacts, vehicles, employer, telephone numbers, etc. Officers shall not prolong a detention solely for ICE to respond, unless the individual is lawfully detained on other grounds. 2. DIO Credentialed Deputies: a. When an officer who is a certified DIO determines that a suspected unauthorized illegal alien has an existing active ICE Administrative Warrant (an I-200 or I-205), and the individual is not under arrest on local criminal charges, the officer shall arrest the individual after confirming the administrative warrant and the person’s identity and obtaining approval from the on-duty ICE supervisor. The officer shall confirm the civil immigration warrant prior to transporting the individual to a county jail or an approved ICE office. DIOs will not transport or arrest an individual solely on the basis of a civil immigration detainer without being explicitly instructed to do so by an ICE Supervisor. b. If transported to a county jail operating under a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with ICE, IRC will complete a Form I-203 (Order to Detain or Release Alien), I-247 (Immigration Detainer – Notice of Action), and the I-200 or I-205 (Warrant of Removal/Deportation), which will be signed by an ICE officer. The DIO shall advise the IRC via telephone what county jail the unauthorized illegal alien will be transported to, prior to transporting the individual, and shall direct IRC staff to email the ENFORCEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COMPLIANCE AND PROCEDURES EPP – 69 Page 6 of 19 completed paperwork to the identified jail. The DIO shall not leave the jail until the appropriate charging documents have been received by jail staff. c. If the DIO is working with a federal officer who has Title 8 authority and the authority to issue detainers, warrants, and ICE holds, the federal officer may provide the documents to the DIO in the field who will deliver the documents to the jail with the alien in lieu of the documents being issued to the jail by the IRC. d. DIOs are not authorized to perform immigration officer functions except when working under the supervision or direction of ICE and only within the jurisdictional limits of Seminole County as provided in the 287(g) Task Force Model Agreement. DIOs are permitted to conduct subject transports to an authorized facility outside of Seminole County that originates from Seminole County. C. DIO Encounters with a Suspected Removable Alien: 1. If a DIO encounters a person who does not have an active ICE administrative warrant, but still believes that the person is a removable alien, the officer should notify the Florida ICE Response Center (FIRC) at (305) 207-2187, (305) 207-5126, or (305) 222-5424 (secondary) and seek direction from the on-duty SDDO. If no answer is received, the officer shall contact the Krome Supervisory Detention and Deportation Officer at 1-305-207-2100, followed by the Krome SPC Control Room at 1-305- 207-2154. A Supervisory Detention and Deportation Officer (SDDO) may provide permission to arrest the person and seek issuance of an Administrative Warrant. 3. This scenario is only likely to occur in rare cases. For example, a DIO may encounter someone as a result of a traffic stop or other law enforcement activity. The DIO may interview that person and during the interview determine that the person is not a United States citizen, is not legally in the country, and meets ICE criteria for arrest and removability. It is important to remember: a. DIOs should use caution because a person may appear to be an alien or foreign born national who is unlawfully in the United States when neither criteria is actually met. b. Until DIOs receive authorized direct access to ICE databases, they must consult with FIRC or an ICE officer with database access to ENFORCEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COMPLIANCE AND PROCEDURES EPP – 69 Page 7 of 19 properly ensure positive identification of the person, determine alienage, and removability. 4. A DIO cannot arrest a person without the permission of the SDDO having issued the administrative warrant. The SDDO will inform the DIO that they have issued the warrant and approved the arrest, and the DIO will then make the arrest. The DIO will not physically have a copy of the warrant when they make an arrest. a. The DIO will document this interaction, all actions taken in this apprehension, and the contact information for the authorizing SDDO via an Immigration Warrant (IW) case narrative in Café. Officers will also tag the relevant ICC and BWC video(s) in Axon utilizing the relevant IW case number. 4. The subject will be transported to the nearest immigration detention facility (Orange County Jail). If the nearest immigration detention facility is not accepting new detainees, the criminal investigations unit will be contacted to transport the subject outside the Central Florida area to a designated immigration detention facility. 5. If criminal investigations unit is responding to transport outside the Central Florida area, the Communications Center will make telephone contact with the nearest designated immigration detention facility to ensure the subject can be housed. (See appendix A for designated detention facilities) D. Detention Based on Criminal Charges - Unauthorized Illegal Aliens With Existing Administrative Warrants: 1. If an officer arrests a subject on state or local criminal charges, and determines via NCIC or otherwise, that a suspected unauthorized illegal alien has an active ICE Administrative Warrant, the officer shall: a. Contact the Florida Interoperability Response Center (IRC) by calling 1-305-207-2187 (primary) or 1-305-222-5424 (secondary) to confirm the warrant. If no answer is received, the officer shall contact the Krome Supervisory Detention and Deportation Officer at 1-305-207-2100, followed by the Krome SPC Control Room at 1-305-207-2154 to confirm the warrant. Once confirmation of the warrant is received, the officer shall notify the IRC that the alien is being arrested on local criminal charges, and request that the ICE Form I-203 (Order to Detain or Release Alien) and Form I-247 (Immigration Detainer – Notice of Action), along with the Form I-200 (Warrant for Arrest of Alien) or Form ENFORCEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COMPLIANCE AND PROCEDURES EPP – 69 Page 8 of 19 I-205 (Warrant of Removal / Deportation), whichever is applicable, be sent to the Sheriff’s Processing Center. The purpose of calling the IRC (or KSD) is simply to notify ICE of the individual’s apprehension on state or local charges in order to accelerate the issuance of an appropriate detainer, not to confirm the Administrative Warrant for execution by the Non- DIO officer. Confirmation of the Administrative Warrant does not grant any authority to detain the individual. b. The officer will transport the subject to John E. Polk Correctional Facility for the criminal charges in accordance with standard procedures. A Notice to Appear shall not be issued so that federal partners have an opportunity to apprehend them. c. The officer will notify the JEPCF Intake personnel of the confirmed ICE warrant and pending detainer. d. The officer will document the criminal charges in a Café offense report and subsequent arrest affidavit, and separately, officers will document the immigration related contact in Café via an IW Report which will include the required information noted in Appendix B. E. Encounters with Unauthorized Alien who is a Victim or Witness: 1. In certain circumstances a person’s detainer status need not be reported to federal immigration officials, when the person is a victim or witness to a crime. Pursuant to FS 908.104(7), an officer or DIO is not required to provide a federal immigration agency with information related to a victim of or a witness to a criminal offense if: a. The victim or witness is necessary to the investigation or prosecution of a crime, and such crime occurred in the United States; and b. The victim or witness timely and in good faith responds to the Longwood Police Department’s request for information and cooperates in the investigation or prosecution of such offense. 2. If an officer withholds immigration information of a victim or witness, pursuant to FS 908.104(7), the officer shall document the victim’s or witness’s cooperation in the investigative record. F. Prohibited Practices: ENFORCEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COMPLIANCE AND PROCEDURES EPP – 69 Page 9 of 19 1. Officers shall not engage in racial profiling or detain individuals based on ethnicity, language, or perceived immigration status alone. 2. Officers shall not detain victims or witnesses of crime based solely on immigration status, per § 908.104(9), F.S. VI. DOCUMENTATION AND REPORTING: A. For telecommunication purposes, Signal 200 is designated to identify an administrative (civil) arrest warrant (I-205) in the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database. When telecommunications personnel receive an NCIC hit for a civil arrest warrant, the dispatcher will communicate “Signal 200” to the officer, like a “10-29P” alert for a criminal arrest warrant. The dispatcher will multi-select all channels to alert other law enforcement personnel of the S-200 NCIC hit. It is the officer’s responsibility to contact the Florida ICE Response Center (FIRC) at (305) 207-2187 to confirm the civil arrest warrant. The FIRC will provide the necessary confirmation and the appropriate documentation for the report. The teletype dispatcher will provide a copy of the NCIC hit to the officer for the report. 1. For a dispatched call for service or on-view (proactive) event, the original 10-code or signal of the event will be used in CAD to designate the purpose of the event or call for service. 2. If an officer is called to assist ICE or other federal law enforcement agency on an immigration related event, the call for service or event should be classified as S-200 in CAD for tracking purposes. B. In Café, the “IW” report type is designated for all immigration-related investigations (unauthorized presence, detainers, etc.) and the service of administrative (civil) arrest warrants. C. When serving an administrative (civil) arrest warrant, personnel credentialed as a DIO or WSO will use an “IW” case number in Café. The use of an IW case number applies to both DIO officers and Warrant Service Officer (WSO) detention deputies in Corrections. The corresponding Café report is exclusively for documenting the service of administrative (civil) arrest warrants or immigration- related investigations. No other crimes or incidents, if applicable, should be reported in the “IW” report. The following information must be entered into the report. Upon completion by the officer and approval by a supervisor, the IW case must be routed to the Civil Section for review and assignment. 1. Enter the charge as 7777777.777 [Administrative Warrant]. ENFORCEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COMPLIANCE AND PROCEDURES EPP – 69 Page 10 of 19 2. Add all documentation for the administrative (civil) arrest warrant into Café under the case documents section. 3. In the narrative section, note the circumstances of contact with the subject, and note the following dates and times: a. When the NCIC hit for the administrative (civil) arrest warrant was received. b. When the administrative (civil) arrest warrant was confirmed. c. When the officer arrived at the correctional facility. 4. In the Case Management section of Café, route and assign the IW case to the Civil Section for review and for statistical data collection. This applies to both law enforcement and corrections personnel. D. The State Attorney’s Office (SAO) can seek to reclassify offenses committed by Unauthorized Aliens. To reclassify an offense, the SAO will require sworn statements attesting to the fact that a defendant qualifies as an “unauthorized alien.” E. Immigration Detainers: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enters administrative (civil) arrest warrants (I-205) into the NCIC database. As a result, officers may run an individual via teletype and see that ICE has issued an administrative arrest warrant for that person. 1. Below are screen captures reflecting what such an NCIC return may look like: ENFORCEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COMPLIANCE AND PROCEDURES EPP – 69 Page 11 of 19 [ICE hit for the individual failing to appear for removal proceedings] [ICE hit for more serious crimes; Deported Felon, Aggravated Felon, etc.] ENFORCEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COMPLIANCE AND PROCEDURES EPP – 69 Page 12 of 19 F. Officers may need to document information relating to a subject’s immigration in the following circumstances: 1. Status as “Unauthorized Alien” Known at Time of Arrest: In the event an individual’s immigration status is known, either by self-admission, or through the results on an FCIC/NCIC query, deputies shall include within the narrative of the Arrest Affidavit an indication of the results of the FCIC/NCIC search. Include objective indicators of unauthorized status (e.g., NCIC warrant hit, ICE confirmation) or a statement made by the subject concerning immigration status. a. After the Administrative Warrant in FCIC/NCIC has been confirmed with FIRC, the DIO will create and complete an Immigration Warrant (IW) report in Café. The officer will also be required to include any of the enumerated data sets required in Appendix B. 2. Status as “Unauthorized Alien” Discovered Subsequent to Arrest: Where an individual’s status comes to light after their initial apprehension, i.e. the SAO may become aware through their prosecution, or alternatively, and most often, the Correctional Facility members will become aware based on receipt of a Detainer for the subject from ICE. a. In these circumstances, officers should complete a supplemental narrative in the following form: “On today’s date at approximately [TIME], I conducted a FCIC/NCIC records check on an individual identified as [Subject’s Name, DOB]. This check was conducted in relation to case [underlying Agency Case No.]. The records check reflected that [Subject’s Name, DOB] is an unauthorized alien and that an active administrative warrant/detainer has been issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). NCIC/FCIC indicated that the subject is unlawfully present in the United States under federal law, specifically providing [enter language from Hit]. Based on this information [Subject’s Name, DOB] is an unauthorized alien under Florida Statutes Section 908.111. ICE was contacted via [method of contact], and the detainer/warrant for [Subject’s Name, DOB] was confirmed.” b. A request for such a narrative may be made by a member of the Chief Counsel’s Office following the filing of a Notice of Detainer, ENFORCEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COMPLIANCE AND PROCEDURES EPP – 69 Page 13 of 19 or from an Assistant State Attorney assigned to prosecute a particular action. In either situation, the Supplemental Narrative should be completed, printed, attested to, and thereafter provided to the State Attorney’s Office with a copy saved to Case Documents for the Agency Case. c. The arresting officer will also be required to include any of the available information enumerated in Appendix B. VII. JEPCF PROCESSING AND POST-ARREST NOTIFICATIONS A. State Law Charges: Following an arrest of an individual for state law criminal charges and transportation to the John E. Polk Correctional Facility, notifications will be made to ICE, the State Attorney’s Office, and the Court, concerning the subject’s immigration status, as appropriate. Any Administrative Warrant will be served by a qualified Warrant Service Officer when directed to do so by ICE. VIII. CLAIMS OF U.S. CITIZENSHIP BY INDIVIDUALS HELD ON ICE DETAINERS A. Generally: It is the policy of Longwood Police Department to ensure that no individual is unlawfully detained in violation of their constitutional or legal rights. In accordance with applicable law, Longwood PD shall make reasonable efforts to address claims of U.S. citizenship made by individuals held in custody pursuant to an immigration detainer issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). B. Procedures: 1. Claims Affecting Immigration Status: When an individual in Longwood Police Department’s custody subject to an ICE detainer claims to be a U.S. citizen, Legal Permanent Resident (LPR), makes credible “fear claims” that may afford the person asylum eligibility, or is the victim of human trafficking, Longwood PD personnel shall document the claim and notify the shift supervisor without delay. Longwood PD shall not disregard credible information indicating that an individual may be a U.S. citizen. 2. Initial Review of Available Records: The supervisor shall cause an immediate review of all Longwood PD records readily accessible in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to inmate management systems, booking information, and identification records, for any indication of U.S. citizenship or lawful presence. The supervisor may direct the assistance of the Analysis and Intelligence Center (Special Services Division) to conduct further research in applicable databases that would indicate U.S. citizenship or lawful presence. The results of ENFORCEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COMPLIANCE AND PROCEDURES EPP – 69 Page 14 of 19 such research and analysis must be documented by the supervisor or designee. 3. Referral to ICE: Longwood PD shall also promptly notify ICE of the individual’s claims and request clarification or cancellation of the detainer. The notification shall be documented. 4. Release Obligation: If, after a reasonable inquiry, Longwood PD possesses information indicating that the individual is a U.S. citizen, and such information is not undermined by further investigation by ICE or Longwood PD, and the individual would otherwise be entitled to release under state or local law, the individual shall not continue to be detained solely on the basis of an ICE detainer. 5. Compliance with Law: Failure to take reasonable action in response to a credible claim of U.S. citizenship may constitute an unlawful seizure under the Fourth Amendment and give rise to liability for false imprisonment under Florida law. IX TRAINING AND OVERSIGHT: A. Training Requirements: All sworn members shall receive training on constitutional limits, statutory changes, and legal enforcement of immigration laws. The Civil Section will be responsible for scheduling and proctoring the ICE training for all DIO’s within Longwood Police Department. All training sessions will be scheduled as needed. B. Supervisory Review: Supervisors shall review arrest reports (local charges only) involving suspected unauthorized aliens for legal sufficiency. C. Participation in 287(g) Task Force: Only personnel deputized under a 287(g) agreement may execute immigration administrative warrants or conduct immigration enforcement interviews. Participation as a DIO is an extra-duty assignment. Officers have no entitlement to participate as a DIO and may be removed as a DIO at any time at the discretion of the chief, with or without cause. X. DATA COLLECTION AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS: A. Generally: Pursuant to section 908.1031(3)(e), Florida Statutes, the State Board of Immigration Enforcement is required to collect immigration data from state and local law enforcement agencies. According to the State Board of Immigration Enforcement, data shall be compiled from interactions by law enforcement officers during the normal course of performing their official duties and in accordance with each agency’s policies. ENFORCEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COMPLIANCE AND PROCEDURES EPP – 69 Page 15 of 19 B. The collected data is to be transmitted to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), which will serve as the central aggregation point. This reporting obligation includes: 1. Summary metrics from law enforcement agencies 2. Individual-level biographical and demographic data on certain identified individuals The summary data must be transmitted to FDLE at https://fdle.readyop- gov.com/fs/4ePM/1a3c7e52 by each agency no later than the 15th of each month. C. Procedure: The Professional Development Division is responsible for submitting all law enforcement and individual biographic and demographic data to FDLE on behalf of Longwood Police Department. This data will be approved for submission and submitted to FDLE by the 15th of each month for the preceding month’s data. 1. The law enforcement summary data reporting requires that the number of immigration investigations conducted by Longwood Police Department during the reporting period be included in the summary report. Immigration investigations will be counted by the number of illegal immigration inquiries a DIO makes of a suspected illegal alien, through and including the number civil immigration arrests each DIO effects each month. It will also include any data compiled by DIOs concerning an individual’s immigrations status following the determination that the individual was taken into custody on local charges prior to their immigration status being determined. a. These statistics are being gathered solely for informational purposes. There is no expectation or requirement that DIO’s engage in any minimum number of contacts for this purpose each month. 2. Under the FDLE system for reporting the biographic and demographic information on individuals, must collect and document the required data during each applicable encounter within the Café report or required form. It will also include any data compiled by DIOs concerning an individual’s immigrations status following the determination that the individual was taken into custody on local charges prior to their immigration status being determined 3. All law enforcement summary data will be collected and submitted by the Professional Development Division. ENFORCEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COMPLIANCE AND PROCEDURES EPP – 69 Page 16 of 19 D. Criteria for Data Collection: 1. Biographic and demographic data regarding unauthorized illegal aliens shall be collected and reported by Longwood Police Department DIOs following their interactions with a suspected unauthorized illegal alien. This data shall be submitted by the DIO directly to FDLE via the Suspected Unauthorized Alien Contact Form at https://fdle.readyop- gov.com/fs/4ePK/6c8ad39e . Once form is submitted, submitting officer will notify the Professional Development Division. 2. The criteria to be followed by the DIOs when deciding whether to collect information from an individual regarding their immigration status includes when there is reasonable suspicion to believe the person is an unauthorized alien and at least one of the following criteria is met: a. The DIO has reason to believe that the person has committed a state law crime. b. The DIO has reason to believe that the person has an outstanding warrant of removal (I-200 or I-205) based on a final order of removal issued by an immigration judge. c. The DIO has reason to believe the person has previously been removed or voluntarily departed from the United States after having been in the country illegally previously. d. The DIO has reason to believe the person is a public safety or national security threat. 3. If any of the above criteria are present and the DIO has reason to believe that the person is an unauthorized alien, the DIO will investigate whether the person should be arrested on federal civil immigration charges in consultation with ICE ERO, when applicable. The DIO will also complete the FDLE data collection when applicable. The DIO will take action only upon direction from their ICE Supervisor. E. Individual Biographical Information to Be Collected for Reporting: When the above criteria are met implicating the reporting requirements set forth by the State Immigration Enforcement Council, the data enumerated in Appendix B of this General Order will be recorded by the officer in the Café “IW” report. F. Discrimination Prohibited: As stated above, officers shall not engage in racial profiling, detain, inquire of, investigate, or report data regarding any individual solely based on the person’s name, suspected heritage, race, skin color, language, ENFORCEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT COMPLIANCE AND PROCEDURES EPP – 69 Page 17 of 19 or any other subjective factor. Profiling, stereotyping and biased enforcement practices are unlawful and prohibited. G. The Professional Development Division shall be responsible for tracking and maintaining accurate data and statistical information for the 287(g) programs, including specific tracking data requested by ICE. Upon ICE’s request, such data and information shall be provided to ICE for comparison and verification with ICE’s own data and statistical information, as well as for ICE’s statistical reporting requirements and to assess the progress and success of the 287(g) program. XI. LIMITED-ENGLISH PROFICIENCY: Members encountering individuals with Limited English language proficiency will provide an opportunity for subjects to request an interpreter.
