Dear Sheriff Duncan,

Thank you for your interest in the 287(g) Delegation of Authority program. The 287(g)
Program Management Office (PMO) and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for U. S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are in receipt of your request for training for the
Buncombe County Sheriff's Office.

On September 27, 2007, the 287(g) PMO at ICE Headquarters forwarded your request to the
Field Office Director (FOD) of Detention and Removal Operations, Atlanta, GA, and the
Special Agent in Charge Atlanta, GA. Local representatives from these two divisions will be
in contact with you soon to conduct a preliminary assessment and determine whether the
287(g) program is the appropriate application to address your local law enforcement
challenges.

The local ICE point of contact regarding the 287(g) program is Assistant Field Office Director
(AFOD) Paige Edenfield, who can be reached at 980-7~e1.ll?2ill (C)

Sincerely,
