Mexican law enforcement

Mexican law enforcement includes federal, state, and municipal agencies responsible for maintaining public order, enforcing laws, and ensuring security. Federal forces, like the National Guard and police, handle national issues, while state and municipal police manage local concerns. Law enforcement agencies operate within a complex legal framework and face challenges such as organized crime, corruption, and resource limitations. Efforts are ongoing to improve transparency, professionalism, and coordination among agencies to better serve the public and uphold the rule of law across Mexico.
