luis de los santos US trainers in Mexico; failure of Mexican military operation  
Below is a statement from the Head of Public Security for the State of Chihuahua, basicially saying that the war is being lost and that the military operation is a failure: 19 months after the launching of Operation Conjunta Chihuahua, more that 3,670 people have been killed, including the execution of 127 elements of different police forces in the same period, the perception that the military intervention is a failure is growing. A 19 meses del arranque de la Operación Conjunta Chihuahua, del asesinato de más de tres mil 670 personas y la ejecución de 127 elementos de las diferentes corporaciones policiacas en ese mismo periodo, la percepción del fracaso de la intervención militar aumenta. http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/news/articles/2009/10/29/200... October 29, 2009 | News Mexico now embracing U.S. training in drug war by Chris Hawley - Oct. 29, 2009 12:00 AM Republic Mexico City Bureau SAN LUIS POTOSÍ, Mexico - At a police academy ringed by brick walls and razor wire, dozens of American agents are helping to train Mexican police recruits as part of a $1.4 billion U.S. aid project aimed at helping Mexico fight its drug cartels. The program, which opened without fanfare in July in the central city of San Luis Potosí, marks a major change for Mexico , which is sensitive about foreign meddling and has long resisted large-scale U.S. training of its police and soldiers. This is really historic, said Noe Sánchez, academic director at the academy. We've never had this kind of international cooperation before. The United States has pledged to help Mexico in a battle against drug cartels that began in December 2006, when President Felipe Calderón ordered the military to crack down on smugglers in northern and central Mexico. More than 10,000 people have died in drug-related violence since then. Efforts to improve the skills of police, long seen as corrupt and poorly trained, represent about $4.5 million of the first $400 million that Congress approved for Mexico and Central American countries under the Mérida Initiative this year. The training programs also represent one of the first tangible signs of U.S. help: Much of the aid in the first year of the initiative is in the form of helicopters, X-ray trucks and computer systems that have to be built and tested first. Since classes began July 20, a total of 81 U.S. law-enforcement officers have come to Mexico to team-teach in three-week shifts. Working with instructors from Mexico and other countries, the trainers have graduated 2,052 federal police, and an additional 1,051 are taking classes now. On Tuesday, the Mexican government gave The Arizona Republic a rare glimpse of the U.S. trainers in action. Israel Barajas, a U.S. marshal from Houston, watched as his students fanned out in a public park to practice tailing a suspect. These kids are excited, they want to learn, Barajas said. The training program focuses on teaching investigative skills - interviewing witnesses, collecting evidence and intelligence-gathering - to a newly created force, the Federal Police. More than two years ago, the leader of that force, appointed to a new Cabinet position, took the best people from federal law enforcement and formed the new agency. A March 2008 constitutional amendment gives these police more autonomy to investigate crimes, freeing up Mexico's prosecutors, who traditionally directed such investigations, to focus on their court cases. The training program is funded by the U.S. State Department and run by Kaseman LLC, a Chantilly, Va.-_base_d logistics company. It brings in FBI agents, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, U.S. marshals, Drug Enforcement Administration agents and detectives from city police departments, as well as police from Colombia, Spain, Canada , the Czech Republic and other countries. The foreigners are paired with Mexican police and teach classes of 30-40 students. In one classroom, Paul Lewenthal, an ICE agent from San Diego, was teaching cadets how to plan an investigation. Down the hall, students in surveillance class were learning to operate digital cameras donated by the U.S. government. In another room, DEA Agent Ray Bruno of El Paso looked over students' shoulders as they took notes on the history of intelligence-gathering. Every two weeks, the program flies in assistant U.S. attorneys who run a mock-trial exercise. The cadets are put on the witness stand and cross-examined about a case they have studied: a jewelry-store robbery. The trainers are trying to get Mexican police ready for U.S.-_style_ oral trials, which Mexico plans to phase in over the next eight years. Currently, most trials in Mexico are conducted through an exchange of written briefs, a process that can take months or years. To measure the program's success, the Federal Police have instituted periodic confidence checks that combine performance evaluations, drug testing, reviews of officers' finances and a background check. Colombians make up the bulk of the other foreign instructors. Many are graduates of similar U.S. training efforts in Colombia, where a U.S.-backed effort has helped counter leftist rebels and drug traffickers. We're hoping these students can learn from what we've gone through, said Ariel Lozano of the Colombian National Police. http://www.diario.com.mx/nota.php?notaid=652e066ea1d3d6b5df14326492dd... ‘Estamos perdiendo la guerra vs crimen’ Staff El Diario | 28-10-2009 | 23:18 | Local Tras la agresión donde un agente murió y tres más resultaron heridos durante el atentado dirigido al jefe operativo del Cuerpo de Inteligencia Policial (Cipol), el secretario de Seguridad Pública Estatal, Víctor Valencia de los Santos, dijo ayer que la guerra desatada contra la delincuencia organizada se va perdiendo. A 19 meses del arranque de la Operación Conjunta Chihuahua, del asesinato de más de tres mil 670 personas y la ejecución de 127 elementos de las diferentes corporaciones policiacas en ese mismo periodo, la percepción del fracaso de la intervención militar aumenta. El funcionario aseguró que las corporaciones se encuentran en desventaja para enfrentarse al crimen organizado al no contar siquiera con el armamento suficiente para repeler los ataques. Entrevistado vía telefónica por El Diario, el funcionario estatal lamentó la segunda baja que sufre la corporación en lo que va del presente año, un hecho que consideró parte del costo que se tiene que pagar. “Se siente que se va perdiendo, es una guerra que ha sido muy costosa”, dijo poco después de recibir la noticia sobre el deceso del agente Gilmar Armando Hernández Graciano, de 26 años. “El presidente de la República, Felipe Calderón, ya lo había advertido, en esta guerra se está pagando un precio muy alto, ha sido muy costoso”, agregó antes de entrar a la reunión de Seguridad Pública celebrada ayer en la Ciudad de México y a la que también asistió el coordinador de la Operación Conjunta Chihuahua, el general Jesús Espitia. De acuerdo con el reporte preliminar que le hicieron llegar, Valencia de los Santos confirmó que en la agresión fue ejecutado el agente Hernández Graciano y tres elementos más resultaron lesionados, entre ellos Luis Alberto Prieto. Del estado de salud de los heridos, aseguró que ya se encuentran fuera de peligro. “Ya la Procuraduría General de Justicia del Estado hizo el levantamiento de las evidencias y abrieron las carpetas de investigación; los elementos (lesionados) actualmente están resguardados por personal  del Ejército mexicano”, refirió. Desde la semana pasada, las corporaciones han resentido ataque tras ataque por parte de los grupos antagónicos que se disputan la plaza. Agentes federales enviados a investigar a los grupos criminales que operan en la región aún continúan en calidad de desaparecidos y el coordinador operativo de la Agencia Estatal de Investigaciones, Francisco Lazarín Núñez fue asesinado apenas el viernes anterior. Cabe destacar que antes de la ejecución de Lazarín Núñez apareció una pinta que citaba: “para los que siguen sin creer”, mientras que tras el intento de asesinato contra el inspector Prieto otro mensaje era escrito en la pared de una escuela primaria: “esto es sólo un aviso Luis Prieto por andar con el Chapo Guzmán”, decía el texto elaborado con pintura en aerosol color negro. Para Valencia de los Santos los ataques contra las corporaciones implican que “estamos en un riesgo permanente, esto se hace a plena luz del día, con armamento de ese nivel como granadas de fragmentación. Aquí que hace necesario el replanteamiento de las acciones de la OCCH”, consideró. “Las agresiones a los policías son con armas más potentes y sofisticadas de las que ellos portan, los sicarios actúan sin ningún impedimento. Vamos a redoblar los esfuerzos y buscar el apoyo con Seguridad Nacional, saber qué vamos a hacer”, dijo. Finalmente mencionó que en el combate al crimen organizado no se ha subestimado a nadie, no es nada personal y destacó que es una situación que tiene grandes implicaciones y riesgos.

Kent Paterson < This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it posted this story from 2001 concerning US police trainers in Mexico.  The story reported today is not so new.  Thanks Kent.  molly Pacific News Service, Kent Paterson, Posted: Sep 26, 2001 Review it on NewsTrust In recent years, U.S. law enforcement agencies have trained thousands of Mexican police from forces with a history of practicing torture and forced disappearance. If the Bush administration has its way, restraints on U.S. police trainers could fall away, allowing thugs and murderers to enter programs and put rights at risk. The Mexican consensus welcoming the training might then fall apart, according to Pacific News contributor Kent Paterson. ALBUQUERQUE
