"Mexicans want peace," said new Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto as he announced the creation of a national police force for combating crime, violence and drug gangs.

The new militarized force, starting at a size of 10,000 officers and growing to as many as 40,000, would take over the job from the military. The body would include 15 federal police units.

If you knew the actual size of the USA Federal Police Force you would shudder---------it's enormous, and I no longer have a clue how big-----but it is BIG. 10,000 folks is a pittance.

Good review, DurrellBob. Just as a clarification, the federal IG's are there to investigate and sometimes arrest the other federal employees. That might be a job classification missing in the Mexican system.

I think you just answered my question in an earlier post on this topic. It's probably an IG that does the collecting of the mordida:O for the new bunch. They just call the IG job by some other name in Mexico.:lol:
