However, the County may not prohibit law enforcement activity inpublic areas or that is conducted pursuant to a warrant issued by a judge. Therefore, the Policyrequires that County employees, when confronted by a law enforcement officer seeking access to anon-public area of County property or facilities for purposes of immigration enforcement andinvestigative activity, deny access unless the officer produces a warrant signed by a judge authorizingthe desired activity.Certain facilities, such as schools, jails, and courthouses, are not included in the Policy because theyare regulated by policies adopted by school districts, the Sheriff, and the State, respectively.IMPACT ON CURRENT SERVICES (OR PROJECTS)If the Policy is adopted, County employees will be required to respond to requests from immigrationenforcement officials in a specified manner. To ensure consistent and appropriate implementation ofthe Policy, County Counsel will make a training available to all County department heads and/or theirdesignated employees, and will ensure that training materials are available electronically to all Countyemployees. In addition, a dedicated team of County Counsel attorneys will be available on anongoing basis to respond to questions from County employees regarding implementation of thePolicy.CONCLUSIONApproval of the Policy will strengthen the County's ability to reduce disruptions in the provision ofCounty services due to immigration enforcement and investigative activity.HOA.101924309.1
