Sailors will replace colluded police, Durazo warns

On Monday, a pilot program to clean up the security forces began in the state of Sonora,
after there is evidence that there are elements linked to organized crime,
said the head of the Ministry of Public Security (SSP), Alfonso Durazo Montaño .

We have to do a national purification of the security forces, the National Guard still in its effectiveness
and in its growing dimension will be insufficient if the state and municipal bodies do not do the same,
both to grow and to improve in every way, in training, professionalization,
improvement of the socioeconomic status of its members and of course an ethical performance,
that is one of the fundamental problems at the national level, "he said.

In an interview, after the morning conference, he stressed that it is a pilot program that starts in Sonora,
particularly in Guaymas and Empalme.

We are starting the pilot program particularly with Guaymas and Empalme,
there the Navy replenishes all the elements that do not pass the confidence exams ...
those elements that do not pass the exams will be liquidated,
and the personnel that do meet the requirements will be trained or retrained, that is,
to bring them to appropriate professionalization standards to provide professional security services, "he said.

Antros, with more control: Alfonso Durazo
"Intelligence works indicate that there are complicities or penetration of the organized crime of some security forces,
and the work to prevent Sonora from losing the security levels it had, must begin with the purification of the police bodies,
some, not all, some of whose elements we have enough data to talk about a link with organized crime, "he said.

Durazo Montaño added that there is a clear diagnosis of where this problem is presented that is not only in Sonora,
but throughout the country, and will work through the so-called National Police Model,
which has already been approved by municipal and state governments .
