FBI & Baja Police to Up Information Exchange
From The San Diego Reader
K. Mennem, May 14, 2012
The Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States has agreed to up its information sharing with Baja California authorities, in order to help
capture more fugitives. Officials from the FBI, Baja California state police, and state security officials met today in Tijuana to confirm the
agreement.
The FBI and U.S. Marshals routinely aid security officials in Mexico with apprehending fugitives from both sides of the border. Information was
previously shared, but the new real time database will be much more advanced than previously used. Information such as possible locations, full
criminal background, and other details will be accessible to an international unit of the Baja California Preventative Police.

An international unit of the Preventive Police?
Pretty scarey stuff. Why don't we just put a cartel desk in FBI headquarters.....or, do they already have one?

Big Brother is watching
Sounds a lot like the IRS and the California Tax Board info exchange.
In theory it goes both ways, in practice the State just waits on Uncle Sam to provide audit leads.
My guess is it will be about 98 -2 in terms of info flow. Quality info flowing North will be sparse at best....
Just my best guess.

Maybe this will help the Mexican forces to have current information as to when a whole load of American guns are going south.

The Mexicans need to look at their southern border and stop the (other than American) guns going north into Mexico.

This sounds like more of a paternalistic pat on the head to the Baja California Preventative Police than any real cooperation. The U.S. Dept. of
Justice has never trusted the Mexican authorities and that is unlikely to change. Any information sharing will be limited and carefully calculated to
not compromise the complex relationship between the U.S. and the various Mexican law enforcement agencies.
I doubt the Baja California Preventative Police will get more from the D.O.J. than a Google search would inform them.
