"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat
The National Guard shows limited results despite the budget increase, reflecting a lack of effectiveness in public safety.
The operational results of the National Guard do not correspond to the size or budget of the corporation. Five years after its creation, indicators show limited performance in crime prevention and violence reduction, according to the "Fifth Report of the Observatory of the National Guard and Militarization in Mexico," prepared by Causa en Común.
In 2022, the National Guard reported the release of 29 kidnapping victims, compared to 724 officially registered in the same period.
That year, it also conducted 796 searches for missing persons, while the National Registry counted more than 9,000 missing persons.
In terms of effectiveness, these figures reflect a low response capacity to high-impact crimes.
The 2023 National Census of Federal Public Security by INEGI indicates that the corporation seized 90,000 objects and made only 2,814 arrests.
This equates to 45 elements required to be brought before the Public Prosecutor's Office.
Furthermore, the number of alleged crimes handled by the GN has decreased by 89 percent since 2019, from 51,666 to 5,376 cases.
The Observatory emphasizes that the reduction in results coincides with a sustained increase in the budget, suggesting a lack of correlation between military spending and improvements in security.
Citizen approval
Even so, INEGI surveys indicate that the National Guard enjoys 74 percent citizen approval, a figure that the report attributes more to the symbolic perception of military discipline than to verifiable results.
Causa en Común warns that this gap between image and performance reinforces a security model based on armed presence rather than criminal investigation or prevention.
The organization concludes that official indicators show a National Guard oversized in resources and personnel, but with limited impact on crime reduction or institutional strengthening.

So they've taken more money, and nothing has changed..... That's called institutional corruption...
ReplyDeleteWhat were they excepting when your corrupt at every level
ReplyDeleteEver see the worthless bastards in action? No, because there is very little action. Disband them and go back to the Federalis.
ReplyDeleteNever would I imagine someone actually suggesting “go back to the federales”
DeleteMind you, this is with an institution that was non existent 7 years ago. Imagine what the homicide rate would have been now, if Mexico still had the Federal Police or Genaro Garcia Lunas PGF given the current cartel disputes. All this report is saying is that violence has remained stagnant or reduced, but has not increased.
ReplyDeleteThe federales were corrupted and there was only 80 or 60 thousand of them patrolling the streets. Garcia luna aided the Sinaloa cartels. The national guards has 133 thousand patrolling the streets.
DeleteGarcia Luna aided whoever paid him. He took money from CAF and Sinaloa.
Delete1:59 everybody paid garcia luna, he fucked averybody closest to him, memember arturo beltran leyva corraled garcia luna in person and demanded genarco deliver on his promises...
Deletesoon after el botas blancas was dead, as were many of genarco's comandantes, even secretarios de estado were murdered with their helicóteros flr messimg with the devil himself, genarco garcia luna, jefe de omar hamid garcia harfuch...accused of stealing 10 million dollars from el Lic mamason when he arrested his ass... it that is peanut shells compared to the 250 million US Dollars stolen from zhenli ye gone by garcia luna and presidente FECAL...there were pictures!!!
Poner La Guardia Nacional bajo los huevos de los militares fué un error garrafal, there is no more powerful and corrupt organization than the mexican military, except for federal police and private security firms still owned by garcia luna asaociates.
