Basic Immigration Enforcement Training
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.
A rising immigrant population in the U.S. has led to a dramatic increase in
local, state, and tribal law enforcement 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.
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 by Cameron University and Advanced Systems Technology,
Inc. with funding received from the U.S. Department of Justice COPS Office. The
pilot program is available for free to all law enforcement departments that meet
the participation criteria. The pilot program is only open to 500 officers, so
sign up today to gain access to BIET's innovative training.
