The Collier County Sheriff’s Office is one of just 60 Jail Enforcement Model 287(g) program participants in the United States and just one of 5 participating agencies in Florida.  As the longest tenured program participant in the nation and in the past 16 plus years, we have had 11,400 detainers placed and a resultant removal of over 7,400 criminals from our community that did not have (or violated) proper authorization to be in our country.  These criminals committed crimes in our county and victimized our community with offenses that include murder, rape and child molestation and more. After a detainer is placed on an inmate they begin their legal due process through ICE and the immigration court system.
 
We can tell you that our 287(g) program participation is an important element in our crime fighting and community safety strategy in Collier County.  We believe this successful program of removing criminals from our community is one of many reasons why in 2024, US News & World Report designated Naples as the safest community in the United States.
 
Sheriff Rambosk has asked to expand our 287(g) partnership program to meet President Trump’s objectives set forth within his Executive Orders.
