PRINCE WILLIAM County, Virginia -- Every Prince William County police officer will receive eight hours of training on the county's illegal immigration policy in January and February, before the program will take effect next year.
"I am mandating we are training all officers and certain staff before the policy is implemented," longtime Police Chief Charlie Deane told The Examiner Thursday.
The mandatory sessions focusing on how and when to check someone's U.S. residency status will be critical to the effectiveness of the new policy, officials said. The comprehensive course will ensure officers enforce the so-called crackdown fairly and uniformly, Deane said.
