To train 23 Colorado State Patrol Troopers assigned to the Patrol's newly created Immigration Enforcement Unit. All officers will have a minimum of two years experience :and will pass a security background acceptable to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Due to our current manpower situation, two training classes may be needed to accomplish this standard.

•

Training facilities are available at the Colorado State Patrol Training Academy located in Golden, Colorado. There, instructors can utilize computer training aids, videos and any other materials they may need during instruction.

This Program will allow us to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with ICE to assist the Patrol in identifying criminal illegal aliens who pose a public safety risk to the citizens of the State of Colorado. Should this Delegation of Authority Program be approved, Troopers who are trained and certified under this program will take enforcement action only if they encounter immigration violations during the course of their state trooper duties. I thank you for your time and look forward to your positive consideration of this request. In Service to Colorado,
