NP Rank:
Baja has cops, military, Justice officials but little trust.
There is a brand-new Attorney General for Justice in Baja California.
Rommel Moreño Manjarrez was just named the Attorney General for Justice in Baja California, a decision that had been delayed for about three weeks.
Mr. Moreño was selected unanimously by the state of Baja's 25 parliament members, six years after he was Assistant Attorney General.
In his career, Moreño has held the office at the Policía Federal Preventiva (Federal Preventive Police) Internal Affairs, at the coordination of the Republic Attorney General's counselors, and Assistant Attorney General in Baja California, from 1997 thru 2001.
He is currently pursuing his doctorate degree in International Law from Universidad Autónoma de México (UNAM), on "Intelligence in México and its Legal Implications.
Got the man, got the money.
Timely enough, Baja's governor, Guadalupe Osuna Millán, and the Federal Executive Secretary of the Public Safety Program, Roberto Campa Ciprián, agreed on an almost 100% increase in the Public Safety Budget, to be used in equipment.
New bullet-proof vests, patrol cars and guns will be provided to officers fighting crime, as a result of the decision.
There is only one catch: The increase depends on specific terms of communication and trust between the three government levels (Federal, State and Local).
In a nutshell, police corps must prove they are not related to crime organizations and will not leak info to them. Only then, will they get the money.
A matter of trust.
When the Federal official conditions money on trustworthiness, he seems to know what he is doing.
When army officials arrested 20 people, including a chief of the Arellano Felix's drug cartel, cops from Tijuana were, seemingly, also captured among them.
Numbers, names and other details are unofficial, Daniel de la Rosa, Baja's Secretary of Justice said.
