Cops look for jobs for deportees

[NewsWhore]

The National Police have a team looking for jobs for Dominicans who have been repatriated after losing their citizenship or residency in the United States for criminal offenses. According to El Caribe, the data available to the police shows that less than 1% of people returned to the DR have also returned to a life of violent crime. A vast majority were involved with drugs in some way and only 122 of the 18,000 were involved in violent crimes. The police group provides psychological counseling for people who have been repatriated, especially in the face of the frustration and social trauma that they suffer. The police maintain a Registry and Control of Repatriates whose efforts are guided to provide assistance and protection for these individuals. In some cases, people who have been sent to the DR have been found to be innocent. Many of the cases involve minor offenses like jumping subway tollbooths or writing graffiti.
