Safe to drive 120 on La Costera!
In a protest elements of the Municipal Police of Caborca, have not reported for work at turn 22:00 hours last night and this morning at 6:00 am.

The night of October 29 at the stroke of 22:00 absenteeism in Public Safety police elements was evident at present only a few items that did not exceed the number of 5 to work.

This morning, Thursday October 30 the situation was the same style to come to work only a few elements, the other did not show up in protest will be dropped around 70 items of Public Safety for failing to pass the screening tests C3 and confidence.

Administrative record last night rose to items that were not presented and this morning the same was done.

These actions are the reaction of the elements of public safety before the next firing of their peers, which they categorized as an injustice that violates their individual rights and labor rights.

In the courtyards of public safety you can see most of the units stationed, having no elements to take to the streets to provide security to caborquenses.

Last night members of the Federal Police were providing surveillance in the city, supporting security efforts.

The following is a translation or a Ariete story on the police issue. I heard two out of fifty passed the test to replace the existing cops in the area........"Gerardo Ramírez, curator of Caborca, 45, wears under his uniform dress shirt. Every day leaves his office at three in the afternoon to go to college, where he studied law.After 22 years in the police of this city in the desert of Sonora (northwest of the country), Ramirez decided to study to seek new horizons. "For society, being a cop is the worst in Mexico," he says.

The review puts more nervous tanned head has nothing to do with career studying for three years. We lose sleep testing the government established in 2008 to debug more than 2,000 police units that are distributed throughout the country and which have passed since then nearly 400,000 agents.

The tests must be repeated every two years. "It's a tough 48 hours harassment" believes Ramirez. In 2015 the police chief will face tests ranging from a psychological test and a doping to a surprise visit from government officials at home to talk with neighbors, take pictures and rummage through drawers and closets to see if the style life of a police Caborca corresponds to 7,700 pesos a month you earn on average ($ 560). But worse, he says, is the lie detector: "Imagine spending six hours in a small room with sensors throughout the body while pushing for you to say that you have ties to drug trafficking."

"To me asked if I had grabbed money," he recalls. The police hesitated a few seconds between telling the truth or invent what officials wanted to hear. He chose the former. "I said yes.

"

The killing of Iguala - agents handed the Warriors hitmen States at 43 students- has again put the focus on the police, one of the most discredited institutions of Mexico. For decades it has lived with low wages, no life insurance and with little preparation. The drug war launched by President Felipe Calderon in 2007 left them as collateral victims.Hundreds of corporations were absorbed by the cartels, they had better weapons and economic power. "They were at a disadvantage. They felt vulnerable and yielded to the pressures of corruption or fear, "says Eduardo Munro, Security Secretary Sonora..

In 2008 he started debugging, a process that ended last October 30. Since then, all those elements that suspended examinations should be written off. In Sonora, the evidence truncated career 2,395 of 5,584 policemen there at the border state the size of Uruguay, and has been for years a route for smuggling drugs into Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

In Caborca is the property of Rafael Caro Quintero , one of the deans of drug trafficking in Mexico, arrested in 1985 and released in August 2013 by an error in judgment. The area of Rio Altar, composed Caborca and other municipalities, has been one of the most violent in recent years. It was common to see trucks with armed men paraded through the breaches of dirt in the region. The criminals were "interference in economic affairs of the region and the citizenry," Munro said.

Debugging has left the area with virtually no police presence. "They were 60 policemen.I have 100 that are out. The exams will thwart any corporation, "says Francisco Jimenez, the mayor of Caborca. Four small neighboring towns were left without a single agent.Altar, a town with a violent past, was five. The area is experiencing a severe economic depression following the decrease in migration to the US, so that an increase in robberies, car thefts and businesses feared.

So many people have failed the exams that municipalities have no money to compensate the police who have to deregister. "No one is prepared for the financial catastrophe that this has caused," said Jimenez, who was forced to get six million pesos ($ 438,000) has not. "We'll have to get us to labor demands and bring them slowly" he says.

The city police has also failed to regenerate. Applicants hardly pass the tests. In Caborca, there were 40 applications. Only three passed. "The model is perfectible.Something is missing in the testing process. Why suspending both? Or are rigorous or not being implemented well, "reflects Jiménez.

Mexico aspires to be a safer with fewer officers and their municipal corporations driven into extinction country.
