Law enforcement in Mexico is divided between federal, state, and municipal entities. There are two federal police forces, 32 state police forces (and two for the federal district) and one estimate suggests over 1,600 municipal police forces.[1] With over 500,000 police agents in Mexico, systemic corruption is endemic and police forces are normally poorly trained and underpaid.[2] The government has been unable to provide police forces with sufficient pay and protection to make it worthwhile resisting the threats and blandishments of drug traffickers.[1] However, there is an increasing tendency towards militarization of policing. In 2006, 45,000 troops of the Mexican Army were deployed to fight drugs cartels.[1]

At all levels, policing in Mexico tends to maintain separate forces for patrol/response (preventive) policing on the one hand and investigative (judicial) policing on the other.

Why are ethics important in the FBI?

When a law enforcement agency acts in an unethical manner, this subverts the legal system. If the public has more to fear from law enforcement agencies than it does from the criminals that the law enforcement agencies were created to deal with, then we would be better off without law enforcement. Tyranny does more harm than crime.
