SECURE COMMUNITIES INITIATIVE SURVEY - LOCAL
IDENT/IAFIS Interoperability Local Law Enforcement Agency Survey
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is improving community
safety by transforming the way the federal government cooperates with state and local law enforcement agencies to
identify, detain, and remove all criminal aliens held in custody. The ICE Secure Communities (SC) initiative will
revolutionize immigration enforcement by using technology to share information between law enforcement agencies and
by applying risk-based methodologies to focus resources on assisting all local communities to remove high-risk criminal
aliens.

completed by the Local Law Enforcement Agency responsible for IDENT/IAFIS Interoperability. The survey will take
