One first step, is to ask the PD if they have the “national search” functionality enabled. As far as I can tell it’s a binary switch that allows data to be shared with other PDs in cooperation with ICE. I think it’s turned on by default and many PDs simply aren’t aware of exactly what it is.
This is low hanging fruit and if you can get them to shut that off it’s a quick win. Mine had already shut it off. Denver turned it off after above news story got traction.
