**Sheriffs Announce Updates Regarding 287(g) Compliance in Florida's County Jails**

In a joint announcement, Florida Sheriffs Association President and Charlotte County Sheriff Bill Prummell, along with Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd and Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, revealed updates regarding 287(g) compliance within county jails across the state of Florida. This compliance program is enforced in every county jail in Florida and involves working with federal immigration authorities to identify and process individuals who may not have legal status in the United States.

The updates and announcements were part of a collaborative effort that brought together sheriffs from across the state to ensure uniformity in the implementation of the program. The program is intended to enable local law enforcement to partner with federal agencies for immigration enforcement purposes.

The announcement highlights the commitment of Florida law enforcement to uphold their values of **integrity, compassion, accountability, and professionalism**. This statewide approach aligns with the counties' continued commitment to maintaining public safety and their adherence to federal guidelines.

Further specific details regarding the changes to implementation or operational procedures as part of these updates were not disclosed at the time of the announcement.
