DEAR EDITOR:<\/p>\n

It is with the utmost respect and appreciation that I write this letter in support of our county sheriff, Neil Warren, and his staff. <\/p>\n

As the county’s public safety director, I fully understand the importance of using every available resource to save lives, prevent crimes and prosecute criminals.<\/p>\n

Sheriff Warren works closely with all public safety agencies in Cobb and is clearly correct in utilizing Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) 287(g) program which is designed to be used in a jail setting. This program enables deputies to identify and then notify federal officials when a suspected illegal immigrant has been arrested.<\/p>\n

Cobb’s police department goes to great lengths to work within the Latino community. Our Spanish-speaking officers routinely appear in area churches, participate in Spanish language radio programs and work alongside community leaders. <\/p>\n

This ongoing effort is focused on opening lines of communication to identify and arrest those criminals that are preying on Latinos.<\/p>\n

However, good communications and positive relations are not enough to prevent crime within a community. The Sheriff’s Office is aiding the crime fighting effort by identifying and then notifying federal authorities when a suspected illegal immigrant has been arrested for a crime.<\/p>\n

Sheriff Neil Warren is working hard to utilize the 287(g) program to legally protect our community. I proudly support these efforts.<\/p>\n
