Hundreds of people get their noncriminal record certificate

JUAREZ — Hundreds of Juarez residents spent hours waiting in line outside of the city's police stations today.

They were all waiting their turn to get a noncriminal record certificate.

Everyone who applies for a job in the city is required to have one.

It proves to an employer that job applicants do not have a criminal record.

The long lines are common every January since residents are required to obtain a new certificate ever year.
