Sheriff has already met with the HRC and has agreed to release the data available to him. b. Release of the data will bring about increased transparency and promote trust between law enforcement and the broader community. II. Grievance and Complaint procedure We recommend that the BOCC request that a complaint procedure, modeled on the 287(g) complaint procedure, be set up to enable people to lodge complaints if their rights are violated in the enforcement of "Secure Communities" in the county. This complaint procedure would include the ability to file complaints for violations including cases where people feel that their arrest was a result of racial profiling and cases where people were detained by ICE and the arrests were not for either Level I or Level II priority crimes as outlined in the ICE priority guidelines. (A detailed definition of these terms can be found in the attached report from the Immigration Policy Center.) The complaint procedure should be available in both English and Spanish and widely disseminated, including on the county website and through the Spanish and English media. Pros — a. Enables BOCC to track whether program is being implemented correctly.
