In addition, we identifiedchallenges that may reduce the effectiveness of a review processintended as a resource for ensuring compliance with 287(g)program requirements. ICE needs to (1) provide training forinspectors to ensure that they have sufficient knowledge of the287(g) Program, the Memorandum of Agreement with the stateand local law enforcement agencies, and other skills needed toconduct effective inspection reviews; (2) develop and implementcomprehensive analytical tools for use as part of the inspectionreview process; and (3) review and revise the Memorandum ofAgreement with participating law enforcement agencies to ensure aclear understanding of 287(g) program requirements.
