A new report by NGO Causa en Común presents a dire situation for policing in Mexico. The country's law enforcement problems are deeply structural, and any worthy solution requires pretty much starting from scratch, reports El Daily Post. Police agents are poorly trained, poorly paid, and poorly performing. Examples such as the fact that 75 percent of Michoacán's police officers don't do police work, or that Guerrero police officers are paid the same as cleaning crew members, only add to the general issues of lack of equipment, administrative disorder and structural deficiencies, according to a presentation by Causa en Común's president, María Elena Morera at a forum this week.
