Julian Leyzaola: "There is No Safe Place in Mexico For Me"

Borderland Beat

He Will Leave Mexico in October When He Retires

 
 
Juárez police Chief Julian Leyzaola -- a career law-enforcement officer specially chosen to reduce the once-uncontrolled violence that tarnished the image of this city -- is prepared to leave the country once his dangerous assignment ends in October.

"There is no safe place in Mexico for me," said Leyzaola, who has worked in law enforcement in the military for 37 years. "Mexico is prohibited for me."

During a lengthy interview with the El Paso Times, Leyzaola, who came to Juárez from Tijuana, talked about his job in a place once considered one of the world's most dangerous cities.

After 20 months on the job, he feels satisfied because the number of homicides is declining. From March 2011, when he arrived, to November of this year, the number of homicides has declined every month. And 2012 is projected to finish with fewer than 800 homicides compared with 1,956 homicides in 2011.

The 54-year-old Leyzaola, a lieutenant colonel in the Mexican army, is credited with a remarkable reduction in crimes such as extortion, carjacking and kidnappings. The reduction was accomplished with a strategic plan that included the cleansing of the police department -- 800 officers have been dismissed in his term -- and regaining the neighborhoods that once were under control of criminal groups such as the Juárez and the Sinaloa drug cartels.

Though the city is making a slow turnaround, Leyzaola is not without critics.

In the past 20 months, he has been the target of two assassination attempts and accused of human-rights abuses. He said his job is to fight crime and in doing so, he has become "the bad guy of the movie."

Leyzaola's job will end Oct. 10 -- something he is looking forward to.



"You don't know how big the responsibility of sitting here is," he said. "I don't know how many people would like to be here, but when the time to give my resignation comes, it will be a very happy day for me."

Question (Q.)  It has been almost two years since you came here and the numbers show a clear reduction of crime in the city. How did the city achieve this?

Answer (A.)   It is clear for me that when you implement a program and strategy and you verify them meticulously, the results will be the ones that your were looking for. The security program that we used here was the same that I applied in Tijuana with very favorable results. I received Tijuana with more than 6,400 crimes per month and after a strategy of cleaning, training, equipment and awareness within the police force, we reduced the crime more than in half.

In Juárez, we started with a rigorous process to clean the police force. Since I came here, 800 police officers have been separated from the corporation for different reasons. Most of them have resigned, others were fired and many were indicted for corruption or other charges.

Q.  How did the strategy work in downtown?

A.   Downtown exemplifies what happened in the rest of the police districts. When we got here, we realized that two organizations were fighting for control, La Línea (Juárez drug cartel) and El Chapo's organization. La Línea was the most aggressive and violent group and they were financing their activities not just with the money obtained by selling drugs, but also with extortion, kidnappings and carjacking.
 

They were able to get between $480,000 and $640,000 weekly. At that time, police officers were banned from entering downtown if they were not working for or had an agreement with the organization.

By the end of March, we started patrolling downtown streets with elite groups and we started confronting criminals. In a second phase, we introduced officers on foot patrol and then we infiltrated their organization. In addition, all the officers that were previously assigned to downtown were moved to other areas.

There were around 70 officers for the area and just nine vehicles. We brought in 282 officers and 80 vehicles and provided them with high caliber weapons, cartridges, bulletproof vests and radios with encrypted frequency.

When I transferred the officers that were working for the criminal organizations in downtown, it left the criminals blind, and when we got the encrypted frequency, it left them deaf. That created a lot of uncertainty within the organization.

Q.   Do you feel that your strategy completely eliminated the operations of La Línea in downtown?

A.   I think that right now, La Línea, as a criminal organization, doesn't have a strong presence in Juárez, or if they have it, it is very weak.

Q.   What about El Chapo's cartel?

A.   El Chapo operates more in the south and southeast of the city. When we went to those areas, we had good results, too. We secured several of their houses, high-caliber weapons and drugs, especially marijuana.

Q.   But El Chapo still operates and has a strong presence in the city?

A.   El Chapo operates on a bigger scale. He doesn't go into retail and that makes it more difficult to detect him. He is more concerned about big loads of drugs going into the U.S., and his presence in the city is less visible because he is not in extortion or carjacking. To be more effective in combating him, we would need more intelligence capacity and other kinds of actions.

Q.   It is said that what really provoked the reduction of crime is that El Chapo won the war against La Línea. Is that true?

A.   I think that is an adventurous expression. First, because whoever says that should be involved in the criminal structures and must have details on what is going on inside. I can tell you that we have fought all the criminal groups with the same intensity. I don't care to which group they belong. We are combating delinquency in an integral way.

Q.   Human rights organizations argue that since you came here, the number of arrests skyrocketed. They talk about 60,000 arrests in the first six months of 2012. However, just 600 were indicted because there was not enough information to prosecute them. Your thoughts?

A.   We should not confuse administrative arrests with arrests for felonies. I'm aware that there was a moment when the administrative arrests skyrocketed, and it has to do with officers that were abusing their power. I have to recognize that I have a police force that needs to be watched all the time.

We had fired 800 officers that were not meeting the professional standards. And when I said that I'm talking not just about officers who were working with organized crime. I'm also talking about corrupt officers that were stealing people's money and belongings or were just arresting people for misdemeanors. Let me tell you that in August this year, we had 16,000 people arrested for misdemeanors, an average of 500 per day.

Q.   That is very recent. Is it still happening?

A.   Yes, and we had many complaints from citizens and human rights organizations. We had an average of five to seven complaints for arbitrary detentions. What did I do? I reviewed all the proceedings and I realized that the officers were abusing their power, and we started addressing the problem.

Q.   When you came here, you had 2,600 officers. Then you fired 800 and you have been training new officers at the police academy, right?

A.   We have graduated only 87 cadets.

Q.   So, most of your officers are still part of the police force that you inherited?

A.   Yes, I have 1,800 officers now. And just 87 are new. But we have to understand that not all the officers were bad or corrupt. As of today, the officers are more conscious about their role in society. They know that there is no going back to the past, when they could abuse their power without facing consequences. I think our police officers are aware that things have changed.
-Continues on next page-


Q.   Accusations of human rights abuses have followed you since your time in Tijuana. It draws attention every time that a person is arrested and he or she is presented to the media with visible signs of having been badly beaten. Human rights organizations said they have filled around 40 complaints for torture, excessive use of force and mistreatment by police officers.

A.   I agree with that. There was a time in which the detained people were presented badly beaten. I accept that and I don't try to justify them, but I have had to deal with two of the most corrupt police corporations in Mexico. Do you think that before I arrived in Tijuana nothing happened? Do you think the situation there was not worse before I arrived?
 What happened is that when I went there, I started applying internal proceedings to clean up the corporation, I indicted 23 superior commanders. É When I start breaking the links between police and criminal organizations, when I arrested hit men, delinquents, when I started doing my job, they started complaining. Why? Before, they (police and community) could not complain because they feared reprisals. Now, they can and I became the bad guy of the movie.

Q.   How do you feel about those accusations?

A.   They can't destroy the honor of a person without having evidence. Imagine my sons, my family. É They accused me because I'm the face of an institution, but they have never gotten my side. In Tijuana, where the complaints were more serious, they never gave me the right to refute. I already presented a complaint on the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights because of the way I have been attacked, but they have never called me either.

Q.   Do you consider yourself a heavy-handed police officer?

A.   If heavy-handed is to clean a police department, to eliminate corruption, yes. I have a heavy hand because any police corporation can't do its job while it has delinquents inside. And I'm going to tell you that there is not a single police force, not in El Paso, New York, Chicago or Paris, that can say it is totally clean. There is always something there and we, as the head of the corporation, have the obligation to be watching out because a badge and a pistol gives those officers a lot of power.

Q.   How do you feel about your personal security?

A.   I always keep the same level of security because even if the crime rates have declined, I'm still a target for criminals. You won't ever see me in a relaxed situation. I'm always alert.

Q.   You will end your job when the current administration finishes its term on Oct. 10. Is that enough time to conclude what you started?

A.   I brought a security plan and I presented it to the municipal presidency. Who operates the plan is not something that I should decide. I came here to work and I think I have done it well. If they (authorities) tell me that I should leave, I will be the first to congratulate myself because it is very difficult to work in a place like this, not just for the confrontations with delinquents.

Q.   What else makes it difficult?

A.   The confrontation with society because everybody wants changes, but nobody wants to change. That is the reality.

Q.   What frustrates you the most?

A.   It's difficult. Crime, at least in the two cities where I have been, is so rooted in society that criminals are a well-accepted part of it. Here in Juárez, I could tell you that 80 percent of families have somebody that is involved in crime.

Q.   Eighty percent?

A.   It is really rooted in society. Delinquents are so prosperous that they have their own language, religion, music. They have become urban heroes, with money, pretty women, vehicles, properties. They are role models and people admire them.


So when I try to combat them legally, I become the Antichrist because I'm fighting those delinquents. It is like when you are fighting a cancerous tumor that needs to be removed; it is going to be painful and your body will fight it.

Q.   Do you feel misunderstood by society?

A.   No, never. I just know that I do my job with responsibility and ethics. But many other people don't do that.

  9. @2:06,

    from thugs and thieves the shit will flow. They can't stand it when a person actually stands up to cartels. ...they cannot believe there are heroes in Mexico that are honorable. There is not proof of improprieties, what he was found "guilty" of is crossing the line when dealing with thugs and narcos. A little rough sometimes, or a lot rough sometimes? fine by me, just make sure they are what you think and not an innocent....

    Remember readers what I am saying thugs will sling the mud, but will never back it up, this is a man I wish we could clone for every city along the frontera

  11. Chief Leyzaola has brass balls and integrity. He also has my eternal gratitude for showing the world that one man can make a difference. He has been criticized for his methods out of context. When you fight the devil you should not be criticized for twisting his ear, especially when it helps you to win the fight.

    1. Lol you call brass balls putting the police to apprehend and kill all the people and familly related to people of la linea, this guys are murderers, thats why the were killing a cop a day, because leyzaola was working with sinaloa. people of juarez know, theyre stories alot of them in the diario de juarez or pm about people that bearly survived killings were there is even witnesses of leyzaola killing and torturing la linea members, news of people that have openly accussed leyzaola of murdering along with the police sicarios and have been murdered, its part of the horror of what cd juarez is. Theres even been mantas on this, it is overly know leyzaola is a corrupt cop that works with the mexicles and doble(chapos people) to subdue aztecas. Thats the truth, mexico is full of corruption, there is no way back

  20. Some of you people need to realize that this individual is a criminal with a badge dispite how the minstream media presented him for a few years in Juarez. I lived in Juarez, for two years of his duty as chief, I even saw him cruising through the streets of my neighborhood.

    This motherfucker paved the way for the GN to take over the northern sectros of Ciudad Juarez for GN, trust me it was the word on the street, this was the shit that his police force was spreading in the streets. GN at the time could not organize efficiently to take over the ports so that they could streamline the smuggling process kinda like they have done in TJ. La Linea and Aztecas just would not allow them to set up shop anywhere near the bridges. Do your research so that you can see all of the murders perpetrated close to the three main bridges and you may realize what I am refering to. Needless to say that GN never took over those all-important nodes that are the definition of smuggling in Juarez.

    Also research all of the complaints filed against Leyzaola and his police force for unlawful arrest. These motherfuckers literally pick people off the streets, consumers eating burritos and whatnot so they could make the 9:30 local news on channel 44. The deltas Leyzaolas personal vigilante unit, once did this to some hapless beings and they were found dead in south Juarez.

    The list goes on and on so Chivis please be more objective in your support of a fucking serial killer posing as an officer of the law.

    If all of you people can make inferences based on information provided you can easily see how it was impossible from the get go to supplant the Juarez Cartel form J-town. He mentioned that 80% of the families in Juarez have someone involved with crime. So you can see how it would be impossible for anyone to try to take over what locals have been doing for decades here without a problem. Before this Sinaloa invasion those involved with crime were kept in check by the Juarez cartel to keep the plaza quiet and anyone falling out of line was quickly dealt with. But when Chapo came in the scen he promised the world to all of Juarez Cartel's capos and those who took the bait are now in prison or are his enemies again after having realized that he had no intention of delivering on his promises. the result is a chaotic Juarez that will take years to calm down again despite of ANYTHING Leyzaola has accomplished, because he is yesterday's news and his "vigilante" police crews will be wiped out little by little like they have been by the Juarez cartels own vigilante crews LOL.

    Independent Juarez, keep the fuck out if you don't know the law of the land, better days await the Juarez Nation like it was before greedy fucks laid siege to our beautiful life. We from Juarez remember that it was never like this until Chapo tried to take over and ruined the social order by turning brother on brother with promises of making masters out of a few that would enslave an entire population. Before this everyone worked without a problem Mexicles alongside Aztekas, Marrufo alongside Rikin alonside Salgueiro alongside M10 alongside etc etc. and it will be like that again once the invaders are driven out for good.

  21. Who cares if Chapo is paying him. Chapo doesnt kill innocent people. He's like Scarface. He wont harm those that are not in the drug business. The zetas on the other hand will kill you because you don't pay them rent from your local business. What a bunch of crap. I hope Chapo kills every zeta or other cartel member who extorts, kidnaps and tortures innocent business owners who are not involved in any criminal activity. ITs one thing to traffick drugs its another to terrorize innocent people.

  26. @7:26 PM...You wrote the true article. I use to go to Juarez 4 times a year for 3 or 4 days at a time from 94 to 2007. I knew a lot of people, many connected. I was not and had retired from trafficking 8 years before. Juarez was exactly as you say it was. As long as you stayed in the streets, out of the alleys, and out of the known neighborhoods with gangs, it was pretty safe. The people were friendly and fun loving and appreciated tourists. The hotel and restaurant service was like what you would get in Europe. The Juarez Cartel was very firm but you had to f*** up for them to do anything to you. Otherwise, they too were friendly and fun loving too. Just :mind your own business.

    You explained it perfectly as to what caused the cities crime, El Chapo's greed and hunger for power. What you left out was the support he got from a crooked President and his military that acted more criminal that any of the cartels. You would have to kill the entire city to uproot the Juarez Cartel and when you ask people connected who really has Juarez, they all say the Juarez Cartel of course. The only thing I can say that always bothered me was the serial killings of women. Their was always rumors that people connected were involved with some of them or that cops that were connected were involved in other. Both probably true, but I always knew that the Juarez Cartel could have stopped that with a simple demand but they never did it. It was the only thing that gave them a black eye to the public. Maybe it is simply, they do not view women the same as most of the rest of the world.

    Anyway, it is nice to see old school speak out here. Most of those who comment are law enforcement, law enforcement wanna be's, CDS groupies, or the Johnny comes latelys that thrive on every piece of crap the media writes not knowing the Mexican Government, and its military are more evil than the capos they are at war with.

  27. Leyzaola's pattern is what Nieto seems to want to put into practice throughout Mexico.....It deffinately favors chapo and the Cdg because they are more into shipping truckloads into the US..than street sales......but I don't think anyone would say he is a saint.....Just the lessor of two evils...The Zeta's were organized originally to fight Chapo from taking Tamaulipas.....and the truth is the average Mexican does not care about truck loads of drugs going north to sell to the "pinche weros"..they just want the murders,extortion,and kidnaping to stop......

  36. The reason leyzolyla wants to leave is cause hes tired of trying to try to take the juarez plaza for chapo, he knows its never gonna happen. and he cant stay in mexico cause he knows backstabbing chapo isnt gonna protect him, and he will probably end up getting decapitated on you tube

  38. Anyways Zetas have nothing to do with this topic, its about police Chief Leyzaola,cleaning up Juarez of its original Cartel for Chapo Snitchaloa... and as Reynosa stated LOS ZETAS were created to stop Chapo Snitchaloa from invading CDG territory.
    So yeah Ruthless business man Chapo is,he blames everyone else for the violence...but he triggered it by his invasions.

  40. It is true about lezeyola. He works for Chapo. Why Do you think he went into TJ to help clean up the TJ Cartel becuase chapo was having a harD time anD the same goes for Juarez. They are having a harD time cuz the Aztecas are the ones fighting el Chapo so therefore here comes lezeyola to help clean up the Aztecas.

  41. Let me clear one thing up for alot of you people who think you know shit,but are clearly in the dark about most things narco..CDs makes its money with drugs..they do extort and kidnap in a sense,but not what u think..they offer the higher ranking law enforcement silver or led..u take bribe or suffer consequences..they kidnap anyone who triea to steal from them,not innocents..they never extort street vendors..I know this for a fact..I lived that life for many years..I got out from a.maximun security prison in colorodo.im currently in montery nuevo Leon..zetas extort everyone..im doing my best to rid them one at a time..

  43. Nah dude CDS cell got done for Extorting small mining company's and similar business's,but yeah looks like they are the lesser of the two evils (@7:56pm) sorry bud they do extort and kidnap and finally kill.

    ReplyDelete
  44. (@7:56pm)CDS's allies CDG extort and kidnap businesses too just as CDS,CDS may not to the same extent as other cartels(zetas) but history shows they have extorted businesses and probably still do until caught, pls dont call me a liar,do some research....the proof is out there.

  46. If that's the case that chapo's organisation doesn't use extortion it's not because of some moral impetus but because of a higher cash flow. If the cash flow of chapo would be choked off they would use every other means to get to money to finance their structure.

    Think about cartells as proto states. States need financing to keep their structure alive and for that they use taxes. If the money gets short they'll increase the taxes and broaden the tax base. And what are states? Organized violence.

  47. 7:56p, between posting comments on blog sites on your mother's computer ,and cheerleading ,and hunting down zetas in your spare time.. I wonder? do you find any time for yourself ? Or is that the best you can come up with after your visit to Colorado ?

  48. As an American you will never understand the Mexican mindset until you have lived their life.

    80 percent of the families in Juarez have family members involved in crime.It is engrained in them from a baby,you do whatever to protect the family. I did not say they are all bad,but they will never turn on a family member.....actually just the opposite..wonderful,talented,loving......but the culture teaches them to turn a blind eye..

    The masses have never know freedom and opportunity for their children as Americans have.So for survival they rely on a strong family unit....

    Leyzaola took a suicide mission to go to the most dangerous city in the world......even the federalies have tried to assassinate him...Nobody I know gave him more than two months to live. A true Hero

    Americans on here are screaming and cussin that he has done nothing about Chapo.........He has just been taking back the streets and reformin the police..........that is where the people live and die, kids have to go to school, parents have to work. businesses have to operate...the trash has to be hauled off........

    The Mexicans do not care about some drug lord shipping truck loads of drugs to the "pinche weros" in the US.

    As an old abuelo told me once the killing of a capo is like killing a cockroach "you kill one and a thousand show up at the funeral"

    I am not a cheerleader for any Cartel......but mexico has to solve their own problems in society........and this man Leyzaola is the only one I see that made any progress.........

    What about the drugs going across the border???
    That's the pinche weros problem in their society that WE AS AMERICANS need to solve...chow

    so why leave if he is doing such a great job and he loves mexico why not stay and help the people of juarez, if you keep cleaning the place hence (clean) then the place will be safe for all of us"

    Answer: this is called attrition. Many seasoned police officers and army veterans know it too well.

    You wrote: "on the other hand every household shuld be allowed to have a gun and let me see you try to take a son (teenager) from some gun wild woman not that easy......guns are the equalizer hence word peacemaker.......your thoughts"

    My thoughts ? Well your recomendation is rather stupid. USA is saturated with guns and has one of the highest crime rates in the World.

    No it's not illegal. Just very hard to get permits.
    And with permit you cannot obtain bigger than .38 caliber handguns and some limited caliber hunting rifles.

  57. To dec 22, 6:27.......please don't judge all Mexicans by comments here on BB......Most all of Mx refers to Juarez as the "basura" of Mx......the trash....Most have no idea of the American's mentality or the generosity Americans
    have showed to them and the world.....Just as we cannot fanthom their hardships that has shaped their mentality.

    I can and do argue both sides of the fence..I am totally against illegal immigration and yet have felt the pain and frustration of trying to immigrate my family legally....I would like the military on the border, not to shoot illegals, but to stop the cartels who control the corridor now....

    If the violence is not stopped at what time do we quit calling them illegals and admit the fact
    that a lot are in fact refugees fleeing for their lives......

    The USA was founded on people seeking freedom for their familys......Mexico has throughout history been conquered, invaded, and ruled by
    people only wanting to plunder it for its riches.....

    That still is the prevailing mentality today..
    It has often been said "Mexico so close to the USA, but so far from GOD"

    No brother,i,m not that naive.I have heard one of the mods here(chivis)say exactly the same thing"don't judge all Mexicans by comments here on BB"i wouldn't do that.I have never used racism on here,and one of the names that gets used against Mexicans is horrible i hate it.Sometimes you get pissed off getting called"whiteboy,w-man,gringo"as though its nothing.I think most US would love to see Mexico safe and well,but somehow we are not believed?Its madness,this animosity that is out of rationality?Anyway brother,i hope you and your family get sorted out to go where you want when you want,seriously.

  59. I had said I never snitched because some wise guy asked who I snitched on to get out..I ended up in Florence because I was allegedly a shot caller in my prior yard in Mississippi.and because of the ties to CDS..I do recall a guy named bat there from out in Los Angeles there..

  60. And as for if I ever got any visits,only one while I was waiting to get sentenced.3 agents from the DEA who said that they would pay well and get me a reduced sentenced to work with them..I told them to talk to some of my codefendants,cause Im part of the 10% of people who really believe in keeping it solid..
