Unbridled violence: Mexico registered 11 police officers killed in the first 15 days of the year
From municipal agents to state and federal commanders, they are victims of ambushes or die in confrontations with criminals
Being a police officer in a nation like Mexico means being constantly at risk, because organized violence and absence of the necessary tools make them vulnerable to attacks.
They have been subjects of raids by members of legal organizations, from provincial agents to state and federal leaders. In the course of fighting with mobsters, people have died in the line of work.
