Carecen de policías de investigación 10 estados: Inegi

The census reveals a critical structural gap in Mexico’s public security system, with ten states entirely lacking specialized investigative police forces. As a result, many regions are unable to effectively carry out essential criminal investigations, interview witnesses, or process arrest warrants. This absence hinders the transition from mere crime prevention to securing actual legal convictions, leaving large segments of the population without professional investigative protection against organized crime and complex offenses. Furthermore, the data highlight a widespread deficit in preventive police density across nearly all states, falling well below the international standards recommended by the United Nations. While Mexico City maintains a significantly higher ratio, the national average remains critically low, indicating a systemic under-resourcing of community-oriented security roles. This disparity suggests that most of the country relies on an insufficient police presence to deter crime, raising serious concerns about public safety standards and institutional capacity nationwide. This report is vital for open data initiatives, as it exposes granular disparities in resource allocation and institutional coverage. By making specific figures on personnel distribution, salary ranges, and regional availability publicly accessible, such datasets enable independent analysis of security equity. This transparency allows civil society and researchers to identify neglected areas, hold government agencies accountable for staffing shortages, and advocate for data-driven policy reforms to strengthen national security frameworks.
