Immigration and Naturalization Service Citizens' Advisory Panel

Samenvatting

In accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. app. 2 (1972), and 41 CFR 101-6.1001-6.1035 (1992), the Commissioner, Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), with the concurrence of the Attorney General, is establishing a Citizens' Advisory Panel (CAP) for the purpose of providing recommendations to the Attorney General on ways to reduce the number of complaints of abuse made against employees of the INS and, most importantly, to minimize or eliminate the causes for those complaints. The CAP will also seek to reduce the complaints of impropriety by making recommendations on community policing and training initiatives for law enforcement personnel in order to strengthen the relationship between the INS and all members of the community. The CAP is authorized by the Attorney General to (1) accept and review civilian complaints made against INS employees, and (2) review the systems and procedures in the INS for responding to such complaints. The CAP will also receive reports and assist in the coordination of local citizens' advisory committees and panels developed by Border Patrol Chief Patrol Agents and/or Immigration District Directors.
