Federal Mexican officers scree
Federal Mexican officers started screening Juárez police officers this week, looking for evidence of corruption, Juárez city officials said.
The screening are part of the Operativo Conjunto Chihuahua, a plan to eradicate drug cartel violence in Juárez. Officers from the federal preventive police started screening four police officers who were jailed two weeks ago after a shootout with Mexican soldiers. But eventually, all 1,600 city police officers will have to submit to lie detector tests and psychological examinations.
"We know that there are police officers who have infiltrated the department. We know there are officers who have lost their way... Our objective is to identify these officers," and fire them or prosecute them, said Juárez Mayor Josá Reyes Ferriz, who supports the federal intervention.
Reyes said he did not know how long the process would take.
Several dozens officers have quit when the anti-corruption program was announced. Others stopped working for several hours to protest that they were being treated like criminals by the 2,000 Mexican soldiers and 500 federal police officers sent to patrol Juárez.
The soldiers continued their checkpoints and patrolled this week. Last week, they arrested eight people, including a police commander, during a funeral in Villa Ahumada, a small town just south of Juárez. They were charged with possession of weapons and marijuana.
Other efforts to professionalize the local police force are under way in
