PHOENIX - Arizona officials plan to release a training program Thursday designed to teach police officers to enforce a tough new crackdown on illegal immigration without racially profiling.
An hour-long video and supporting paperwork will be sent to all 170 Arizona police agencies and publicly released Thursday morning.
Officials released an outline for the video in May.
It will emphasize the importance of professionalism, ethics and integrity, as well as an officer's duty to protect civil rights, according to the outline.
Retired immigration agents also will describe how federal officers are trained to avoid racial profiling and the documents that immigrants are required to carry.
And officers will be taught how to contact federal immigration authorities or local officers certified by the federal government to determine someone's immigration status.
Gov. Jan Brewer ordered the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board to develop the training when she signed the law April 23.
Police bosses will decide the best way to teach their forces. But there is no requirement that all 15,000 Arizona police officers complete the training before the law takes effect July 29.

WTG Jan!
I was going to get hyper about “training” but with just an hour video and the proper forms, then fine. What’s to know. Arrest, book, and call ICE. Do not let them out, do not pass GO, do not collect any more American tax dollars.
How about BREWER for PRESIDENT???????
We should all be sending Gov. Brewer flowers. What a gutsy lady.
Racially profiling is affirmative action and the government mandates it see quota lists.
Ping!
