Rationale: ICE/ERO/Detroit Field Office has a recurring need for access for all Deportation Officers, to the CLEMIS Database administered by Oakland County, MI. The physical address of the Detroit Field Office is 333 Mt. Elliott, Detroit, Michigan, 48207. The CLEMIS Database provides needed law enforcement information vital to officers to investigate cases as needed and is the only system that provides such information.

There are no other databases either locally, county-wide, or state-wide that provide this needed information. A lack of access to this information would cause active cases to be put into jeopardy of coming to a successful conclusion.
