Mexican police professionalization and training initiatives

Law enforcement agencies across various Mexican states are implementing specialized training and professionalization programs to enhance public security and standardize operational responses.

In Puebla, auxiliary police forces participated in training focused on personal protection, custody, and citizen safeguarding. These sessions, conducted by the Michoacán State Institute of Higher Studies in Security and Police Professionalization (IEESSPP), included tactical exercises such as establishing perimeters, access control, and route evaluations. The goal is to replicate these standards across metropolitan areas and foreign delegations.

In Baja California Sur, the State Attorney General's Office is evaluating 170 investigation agents through a course covering physical conditioning, weapons use, and criminal investigation. This training is a prerequisite for the Unique Police Certificate (CUP). Meanwhile, in Michoacán, 82 municipal officers from 39 municipalities completed 540 hours of initial training for community policing to improve coordination in cities such as Morelia, Uruapan, and Lázaro Cárdenas.
