Washington, DC 20536

Dear Deputy Assistant Secretary Clark:

I am writing to request participation in the Delegation of Authority Program pursuant to 287(g) of

the Immigration and Naturalization Act. This partnership will enable the Colorado State Patrol to
better serve and meet the needs of the residents of the State of Colorado.

I have been in communication with Assistant Special Agent in Charge!;::::::::;:=::J. who has
been very helpful and encouraging. With his advice, we propose the following:

• 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
of nvesligation Patrol in identifying criminal illegal aliens who pose a public safety risk to the citizens of the State
OMsion 01 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
