Minister for the Interior and the Police, Franklin Almeyda, has told reporters that the next session of the Superior Police Council (SPC) would be examining the status of thousands of criminal rap sheets in the Dominican Republic and clean them out. He said that the SPC would separate those that were on the police blotter for crimes committed and those that were there "by mistake." He also said that among the 25,000 Dominicans who have been deported from the United States, a distinction has to be made between those who had committed major crimes and those who committed petty crimes. According to El Caribe, Almeyda revealed the fact that there are many people whose names appear on the police database just because they have the same name as a known criminal. He also disclosed that in many cases the police do not know the full reasons why a person had been deported back to the DR.
