Thank you i.n advance for taking the. time to review the information t ~ a t follows. As
requested. the fo.Howing is (l synopsis of who we are and how we can use the 287 (g)
Delegation of AuthOl; ty training.
• Randa ll County Sheriffs Office currently operates a 310 bed jail facility which
includes 8 infim1ary heds.
• The facility was constructed in 2000 and opened in 2001.
• The facility was built with an intake (booking, laWldry, kitchen, and prisoner property
storage) capacity to fac ilitate expansion to 1,000 beds by adding pods.
• Randall County has a contract wi th United States Marshall's Offi ce in Amarillo for
housing federa l inmates. The Uni ted States Bureau of Prisons and I.C .E piggy-back
off of that contract.
• As of today, Randall County has housed as many as 117 federal and ICE inmates per
day.
• With the increased emphasis on border security, J.C.E. has asked Randall County for
add itiona l jail beds.
• This arrangement with the federal govenunent has proven to be mutually beneficial
for Randall Coun ty as well as the various federal agencies that have inmates in the
Randall County Jail.
The fo llow ing are some of the advantages for the US Immigration and Customs
Enforcement to highly consider the Randa\! County Ja il fqr tJle 287 (g) training :
• Randall Cmmtyalrefldy' has a successful history and a current working contract with
various federal law enforcement agencies,
• Amaril lo is IDeated approximarely midway between the west coas t and the east coas t.
Amarillo is in a border state and sits at the' intersection of two Interstate Highways,
Interstate 40 and Interstate 27, Amarillo's air term inal has international deSignation.

• There have been numerous traffic stops where the occupants of the vehicles were
suspect illegal aliens. Due to the limited number ofICE agents in th is area the
occupants were held for extremely long periods of time before an agent co ul d get to
them. Having trained individua ls in the jail would eliminate this wait.
• We plan to train 4-7 officers one being a superv isor.
