287 (g) program called a success in Las Vegas
Every year thousands of people are booked into the Clark County Detention Center. — In the past it was difficult to know who was here illegally but now a new program is changing that. — “This program allows us to identify these people and see who we are dealing with,” says Lt. Rich Forbus….
The program has been a little over 8 weeks and so far about 300 high level offenders have been identified. Officers have found another 1,700 low level offenders who are here illegally.
