The City of Oakland and the Oakland Police Department have been staunch supporters of the U-Visa program since it started back in 2007. The U-Visa program furthers the City’s humanitarian policies of providing refuge to victims of human rights violations and crimes abroad. We would like to encourage community members, especially those who are non-documented and in fear of deportation, that they can come forward to report crime and seek our assistance with the U-Visa program. The U-Visa is a form of witness protection. It is a non-immigrant, temporary visa, which allows a victim who has suffered substantial physical or mental abuse from certain crimes (specified in federal law), and who provides information that has, is, or will assist law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of the crimes, to remain in the United States for up to 4 years. For more information, go to the OPD U-Visa webpage www2.oaklandnet/Government/o/OPD/s/UVisa/index.htm
