First thing to understand, at least in my case, is that the “city” does not manage the contract. The local PD does. Good luck reasoning with them.

Great.

Thanks for that tip, though.

		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. See Denver for example: https://coloradonewsline.com/2025/08/06/immigration-denver-f... 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.
