The Dane County Chiefs of Police Association wants to reassure people who live, work, attend school,
drive through or visit our communities that Law Enforcement Officers do not routinely ask people they
are in contact with what their immigration status is. Law Enforcement Officers in Dane County do not
detain or arrest people solely for suspected violations of immigration laws.
Being practitioners of Community Policing, we realize the chilling effect that the threat of deportation
has on people of the immigrant community. We want all people to feel comfortable working with the
police, reporting crimes, being witnesses and otherwise participating in everyday activities in our
communities.
We are aware that recent events have spread fear and uncertainty to our refugee and immigrant
community and it is our intent by releasing this statement to reassure everyone that the right to receive
services from Dane County Law Enforcement is not dependent on their immigration status.
