A Comprehensive Assessment of the Municipal Police of Ciudad Juárez

On September 26, 2011, JMP presented the results of its latest Justiciabarómetro survey, titled A Comprehensive Assessment of the Municipal Police of Ciudad Juárez which along with the Guadalajara survey, represents the largest independent studies of a police force ever published in Mexico. Focusing on the border city of Ciudad Juárez, adjacent to El Paso, Texas, this study focuses on one of the country’s most important industrial cities and, at the time the survey was implemented, the most violent municipality in Mexico. This study surveyed 75% of the 3,146 municipal police officers serving the roughly 1.3 million inhabitants of Ciudad Juárez. This survey was conducted in June 2010, during the worst year of violence of the border city.
