Local police in the city of Culiacan, Mexico have been pulled off the streets after the Mexican Army seized their guns, officials announced Monday. This came just one day after about 1,500 residents of Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa, held a march Sunday through the city’s downtown to demand peace.
Ruben Rocha, the state’s governor, said Monday the entire 1,000-member municipal police force would not return to duty until they get their weapons back. Soldiers, state police and National Guard will take over patrolling until then.
Rocha said the seizure of the weapons for inspection of their permits and serial numbers was not a routine check, but rather was “exceptional,” and said “we hope it will end soon.”
“The weapon [sic] has been seized for inspection by the Municipal Police of Culiacán. The law establishes two inspections of weapons by the Collective Official License (LOC) and sometimes extraordinary inspections can be carried out. This is an extraordinary inspection, it is not about disarming, it is about applying the law to collect and examine,” explained Rocha Moya.
For this procedure, military personnel analyze each of the Municipal Police weapons in order to verify their condition, as well as to identify whether there has been misuse of the weapons. It is to essentially ensure that none of the weapons used by police forces have been involved in murders or shootings with the weapons.
"We have taken the necessary measures to ensure the safety of the population. We have covered the different areas with shared responsibility between federal and state forces," he said.
However, the timing with increasing violence, looting and kidnappings in the city and other areas of Sinaloa is questionable. Collecting all at once instead of in batches and stating a week later the police will not return to duty until their weapons are given back looks closer to disarmament under the guise of an inspection.
Looting
The mayor of Culiacán, Juan de Dios Gámez Mendívil, confirmed that 25 robberies of businesses were recorded on September 28. Rocha announced emergency loans to small businesses being affected by the violence or closures in Culiacan to help stabilize the economy in Sinaloa.
Larger loans can also be requested. The Culiacán City Council is offering 5,000 pesos ($255 USD) of emergency financial support to merchants, street vendors and self-employed workers as well.

Governor Rubén Rocha Moya reiterated that the Municipal Police is not currently participating in patrol and surveillance operations in Culiacán, but that the actions are instead led by the Mexican Army , the National Guard, Air Base No. 10 and the State Police.
Miguel Calderón Quevedo, head of the State Public Security Council (CESP), highlighted that before the recent outbreaks of violence in Culiacán, robberies in the city center had decreased significantly thanks to a joint operation between merchants and municipal authorities.
The official recalled that the strategy showed positive results in just a few days, managing to reduce crime to zero in the area.
However, given the increase in insecurity, Calderón Quevedo said that the current situation represents both a challenge and an opportunity. “In the face of this power vacuum, from my optimistic perspective, we also see a great opportunity to clean up the police forces,” he said.
According to the activist, violence and corruption in local governments, not only in Culiacán but throughout the country, are critical issues that need to be addressed. Calderón Quevedo stressed that purging the police forces is essential to reduce the negative impact of those elements that do not act honestly.
"It is an opportunity to improve the day-to-day operations of the security forces," he said, adding that this action could strengthen public confidence.
He noted that retailers have already begun to organize themselves through internal information networks to protect their customers and employees.

DeleteY si me da gracia que ahora la gente de Sinaloa pide paz cuando ellos mismos se reian cuando el CDS mataba gente inocente tambien en todo Mexico.
Con respeto a la gente
IS THIS AN INDICATION THAT MILITARY CORONELES HAVE SIDED WITH MAYO???
ReplyDeleteOR THAT THEY ARE ATTACKING BOTH GROUPS EVENLY AND POLICE WERE DISARMED BECAUSE OF THE TIES WITH LOS CHAPOS??????
Sicario 006 the Sinaloan Snitch
ReplyDeleteLe gusta por el chiquelo.
DeleteGive the cops slingshots, worked out well in Tijuana some years back!😉
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot sicarios of la chapiza been disarmed they will sleep during the day and will work at night wit their face covered guarding los chapitos and all for a bag of chips
ReplyDeleteDamn this is mayos work he had the military paid off why chapos had municipal police
ReplyDeleteSapitos are done🤷🏿♂️
ReplyDeleteMayitos W right there
ReplyDeleteawww man, they took away the guns from all the gangsters. this is gonna get really thick. Ivan is a dead man.
ReplyDeleteFuck Chapitos. Ivan y Alfredo are finished.
ReplyDeleteThat’s hilarious. Mayito Flaco’s military needs to have their weapons inspected by the police after they get their weapons back.
ReplyDeletevalen verga los MF , son muy joton los zambadas . Nunca an ganado una guerra , siempre se esconde atrás de los guachos . Así trabajan ellos
ReplyDeletePa eso es la feria compa, con dinero baila el chango. Es estrategia, pero pies hay niveles
DeleteEntonces que paso en Zacatecas? Que paso con los Arellano? Que paso con los Beltran Leyva? Y el domino de Tijuana es de los Mayos, y en Zacatecas sin duda eran puro MZ. Cual guerra ha ganado Chapo o los Chapitos sin la ayuda de los Mayos? Y tal vez si han tenido a los guachos a su lado en algunas ocasiones, pero no siempre y dime cual cartel no quisiera ese apoyo. Eso hace wl poder. Los Mayos no tienen la culpa que los Chapitos no la tengan ha ese nivel.
DeleteEn Tijuana unos se voltearon , nunca pelearon por la plaza Meko menso . En Zacatecas son los cabreras de Durango peleando o crees ke son de Sinaloa los plebes jaja.. los zambada no son fuerte , son ricos . Pero ya chingaron al viejo .
DeletePero culiacan como esta ardiendo. Que viva la deliquencia!!! Gilbertonas!!!!
DeleteMessage sent. Crooked ass cops everywhere. Military is it too much different but they hold higher powers in government. Que desmadre.
ReplyDeleteAll of those local police officers that where disarmed most likely were working for Chapitos. MF paid the military to do this. It makes all of these cops sitting ducks that can't defend themselves. They can no longer do any of the dirty work they used to do. This process makes it easier for MF people to move in unhinged into Chapitos territory and take it over. Nuff Said!!!
ReplyDeletela corrupcion en la policia no es solo en mexico ..en menor escala pero existe en usa y canada...
ReplyDeleteClaro que la corrupcion existe en USA y Canada y todos paises pero no en la cara de la gente como en mexico esa es la diferencia.

DeleteLo que les digo que los guzman son de guerra y siempre lo an asido los zambada siempre le an sacado al plieto hasta hoy que no les quedo de otra
ReplyDeleteOnly daddy chapo had the best fighters in bravo, picudo, el 50, oso, condor, pinguino, fantasma but most are dead and the others lost their rank within the cartel when ivan took over. These were the best due to being trained as ex military. Cholo ivan people can’t be trusted since cholo became a snitch. Ivan new generation hitman are skinny ethiopian built dumb thinking punk little kids.
DeleteLos m’s de durango ya no existen, fueron guzman. Los salazar de sonora ya no son aliados. Los salguiero estan ocupados en chihuahua. El guano trai la mejor gente pa pelear de los guzman pero quien sabe si apoya a los chapitos.
