Police board forming guidelines for immigration

May 10, 2010 9:14 am

How police enforce the state's upcoming immigration law is under development by the Arizona Peace Officer Standard and Training Board.

Organizing language, methods for a training program and guidelines for Arizona police officers will be required for police to enforce the new immigration law.

Senate Bill 1070 requires police officers to arrest those they believe are in this country illegally. Violators are subject to a misdemeanor offense punishable by up to six months in jail and a $2,500 fine before deportation.

AZPOST executive director Lyle Mann said the board will meet the governor's May 21 deadline to have the training program drafted and submitted to her office.
