Police to Accept Mexican Consular Cards
Police here will accept a national identification card from Mexican citizens stopped by officers.
Police Chief Jerry Dyer and Mexican Consul Jaime Paz y Puente endorsed a “memorandum of understanding” on Thursday that had been a year in the making. They called it a major step toward better communication with Mexican nationals -- especially crime victims. Two days ago, the Fresno City Council voted 7 to 0 to urge acceptance of the matricula consular cards and to support state legislation that would let the cards be used for city and county services.
