In just one month, hitmen have murdered 10 municipal agents in the city of Bajío. Guanajuato is the State that registers the most murders of police officers in the country.

So far this six-year term, at least 2,273 police officers have been murdered in Mexico. “The statistics of municipal police homicides there in the last year have skyrocketed by 1000%, a situation that has no comparison,” says analyst Daniel Gómez-Tagle.
