APPENDIXB COMPLAINT PROCEDURE

This MOA is an agreement between DHSJICE and the Herndon Police Department, hereinafter referred to as the "Law Enforcement Agency'" (LEA), pursuant to which selected LEA personnel are authorized t.o perf.orm immigration enforcement duties in specific situations under Federal authority. As such, the training, supervision, and perfonnance of participating LEA personnel pursuant to the MOA, as well as the protections f.or individuals' civil and constitutional rights, are to be monitored. Part of that monitoring wUl be accomplished through these complaint reporting and resoluti.on procedures, which the parties to the MOA have agreed to follow. The MOA sets forth the process for designation. training, and certification of certain LEA personnel to perform certain immigration enforcement functions specified herein. Complaints filed against those personnel in the course of their non-immigration duties will remain the domain of the LEA and be handled in accdrdance with the LEA's Manual of Policy and Procedures, or equivalent rules, regulations or procedures. The LEA will also handle complaints filed against personnel who may exercise immigration authority, but who are not designated and certified under this MOA. The number and type of the latter complaints will be monitored by the Steering Committee established under Section XV of the MOA. In order to simplify the process for the public, complaints against participating LEA personnel relating to their immigration enforcement can be reported in a number of ways. The ICE Headquarters Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) and the LEA Internal Affairs function will coordinate complaint receipt and investigation. The ICE OPR will forward complaints to the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General (DHS OIG) as appropriate for review, and ensure notification as necessary to the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division (DOJ CRD). The ICE OPR will coordinate complaints related to participating personnel with the LEA's Internal Affairs function as detailed below. Sh.ould circumstances warrant investigation of a complaint by the DHS OIG or the DOJ CRD, this will not preclude the DHS OIG, DOJ CRD, or ICE OPR from conducting the investigation in coordination with the LEA's Internal Affairs function, when appropriate. The ICE OPR will adhere to established procedures relating to reporting and resolving allegations of employee misconduct, and the LEA's Internal Affairs function will follow applicable LEA policies and procedures, personnel rules, state statutes, and collective bargaining agreement requirements.

12

,

.

1. Complaint Reporting Procedures Complaint reporting procedures shall be disseminated as appropriate by the LEA within facilities under its jurisdiction (in English and other languages as appropriate) in order to ensure that individuals are aware of the availability of such procedures. Complaints will be accepted from any source (e.g.: ICE, LEA, participating LEA personnel, inmates, and the public). ' Complaints can be reported to federal authorities as follows: 1. Telephonically to the 'ICE OPR at the Joint Intake Center (JIC) in Washington, D.C. at the toll-free number 1-877-246-8253, or 2. Telephonically to the Resident Agent in Charge of the ICE OPR office in Fairfax, VA, or 3. Via mail as follows: U.S. Department of Homeland Security U.S. Immigrati()n and CUstoms Enforcement Office of Professional Responsibility 425 I Street, NW Room 3260 Washington, D.C. 20536 Complaints can also be referred to and accepted by any of the following LEA entities: 1.

The LEA Internal Affairs function

2.

Any supervisor of the participating LEA personnel; or

LEA Internal Affairs function as follows: Chief Toussaint E. Summers, Jr. Herndon Police Department

2. Review of Complaints All complaints (written or oral) reported to the LEA directly, which involve activities connected to immigration enforcement activities authorized under this MOA, will be reported to the ICE OPR. The ICE OPR will verify participating personnel status under the MOA with the assistance of the Special Agent in Charge of the ICE Office of Investigations in Virginia. Complaints received by any ICE entity will be reported directly to the ICE OPR as per existing ICE policies and procedures, and to the Chief of the Herndon Police Department.

13

In all instances, the ICE OPR, as appropriate, will make an initial determination regarding DHS investigative jurisdiction and refer the complaint to the appropriate office for action as soon as possible, given the nature of the complaint. Complaints reported directly to the ICE OPR will be shared with the LEA Internal Affairs function when the complaint involves LEA personnel. Both offices will then coordinate appropriate investigative jurisdiction, which may include initiation of a joint investigation to resolve the issue(s). 3. Complaint Resolution Procedures Upon receipt of any complaint, the ICE OPR will undertake a complete review of each complaint in accordance with existing ICE allegation criteria and reporting requirements. As stated above, the ICE OPR will adhere to existing ICE reporting requirements as they relate to the DHS OIG and/or the DOl CRD. Complaints will be resolved using the existing procedures, supplemented as follows:

..

A. Referral of Complaints to LEA's Internal Affairs function.

The ICE OPR will refer complaints, as appropriate, involving LEA personnel to the LEA's Internal Affairs function for resolution. The Chief of the Town of Herndon Police Department will inform ICE OPR of the disposition and resolution of any complaints referred by ICE OPR. B. Interim Action Pending Complaint Resolution Whenever any participating LEA personnel are under investigation and subject to interrogation by LEA for any reason that could lead to disciplinary action, demotion, or dismissal, the requirements of the Herndon Police Department's policy shall be honored. If appropriate, an individual may be removed from participation in the activities covered under the MOA pending resolution of an inquiry. C. Time Parameters for Resolution of Complaints It is expected that any complaint received will be resolved within 90 days. However, this will depend upon the nature and complexity of the substance of the complaint itself. D.
