Policing Policies

This category of our archive focuses on Police Department and County Sheriff Office policies, general orders, and directives, among other documents, that pertain to the enforcement of federal immigration laws, the level and degree of interaction and cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the best practices for maintaining trust with and public safety for all residents in a city, town, or county. Some of the documents refer to standard operating procedures and others describe departmental policy.

You can peruse the collection of Policing Policies by scrolling through the policies below or using the filters to sort them by issue date, author, title, or subject. Please note that some of the filters, such as department and graduation year, are not applicable to this project. Also, the title filter only captures the first few letters of a title and the policy titles all begin with the designation of the type of policy so searching within this filter will not be as illustrative as the other filters. Once you click on a filter, you can search within that filter by entering in a place name or a few letters of an author, for instance, and then clicking the browse button.

Another helpful tip: there is an entry for Denver Police Department and one for Denver Sheriff Department. These are two separate entities that correspond to Denver the city in Colorado and Denver the county in Colorado.
