Basic Immigration Enforcement Training

Notice: The subscription limit for the Basic Immigration Enforcement Training (BIET) pilot program has been met at this time and enrollment is now closed. Please refer to the link below for new information regarding the BIET program. Thank you and we apologize for any inconvenience

A rising immigrant population creates a new problem for America's local, state, and tribal law enforcement: a dramatic increase in encounters with both legal and illegal immigrants during routine police duties. As immigration continues to affect interior communities, there is an increasing demand for law enforcement officers to have a working knowledge of immigration law and policy.

Rather than spending valuable time and training funds on traditional classroom training, officers can now use Basic Immigration Enforcement Training (BIET) for their immigration training. BIET consists of Web-based courses, allowing officers to take classes when and wherever is most convenient for them.

BIET is a highly interactive, self-paced multimedia training program that addresses the immigration knowledge requirements of local, state, and tribal law enforcement officers. BIET addresses a wide range of topics including:

* False identification
* Identifying valid identification documents
* Consular notification
* Diplomatic immunity
* Nonimmigrant visas
* Immigrant and nonimmigrant status
* Law Enforcement Support Center resources

BIET was developed with funding received from the Department of Justice (COPS). The pilot program, which has been completed, was available for free to all departments that met the participation criteria. The pilot program was open to 500 officers.

However, BIET remains available to state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies as a training curriculum. Please contact biet@astcorp.com for more information or to arrange usage of BIET's innovative training.

"Why is this closed?" Obama?

Probably just the same budget pressures which are affecting so many public programs.

Obama's administration closed it the same way he took away the officers from sheriff Joe in Az who were 287g certified. Just another way to pacify the Latinos and keep the immigration issure under wraps.
