Introduction
This essay explains the structure of the National Security Commission in Mexico as a decentralized body, the Secretary of Public Security, as well as its function to safeguard, monitor and maintain public order in the State.
A review was made of what has been experienced in recent years in the administration of the country by the President of the Republic due to the lack of control of criminal organizations that operate violently in the different States that affect the citizenship.
Comments are made on the diagnosis made by the National Citizen Observatory on Security, Justice and Legality of the growing category of crimes such as kidnapping, theft, extortion and homicides.
Background
Through the history of past times, it has always been necessary for public order to exist among the population in such a way as to regulate the behavior of individuals and maintain control of the population as mentioned in Chapter 1 of the historical review of public security. In Mexico City, "public security has always been a service provided by the State of society… indispensable for the political, economic and cultural growth of our city" (Carrasco, p. 1), maintaining harmonious coexistence, social tranquility that facilitates the agreement to be able to produce and trade.
Currently, the General Law of the National Public Security System acts as a regulatory entity, where the provisions are established to carry out the social prevention of crime generated by antisocial behavior in a population, the population grows day by day so that they must apply, in addition to the law, rules and regulations that support the guideline towards the common good.
Development
Public Security exercised by the State has an organic structure that delegates functions to the various public order corporations with the aim of safeguarding the integrity and rights of people, as well as preserving freedom, order and social peace among people.
The Ministry of Public Security is the dependency of the government of the States of the Republic, dependent on the Head of Government, in charge of guaranteeing order and security for the country's inhabitants.
The National Security Commission of Mexico is the highest level public servant subscribed to the Ministry of the Interior, which is a dependency of the Federal Executive, this public servant is in charge of everything related to security and peace appointed by the President of Mexico, in participation of the Senate of the Mexican Republic.
Within the organic structure "The National Security Commissioner has five units and three decentralized bodies" (wikipedia), there is the information unit of the Ministry of Public Security as shown below:
- National Security Commissioner: Units: Planning, Prospective and Private Security Unit, Development and Institutional Integration Unit, Information Unit for Public Security, Police Services and Training Unit, General Decentralized Administrative Bodies: Federal Police (Mexico), Prevention and Social Readaptation Federal Protection
In the above context, it was explained that the Ministry of Public Security acts as a decentralized organ of the National Security Commission of Mexico. Now we will address the functions exercised by the Ministry of Public Security to provide illegal acts.
Among these functions are maintaining tranquility and public order in the State, preventing administrative offenses, designing strategic plans against crime, carrying out surveillance tasks in order to safeguard the integrity and heritage of people, designing crime prevention courses.
As well mentioned by the Mexican liberal politician Benito Juárez "Among individuals, as among nations, respect for the rights of others is peace" (wikipedia), unfortunately the reality in current times are others where crime and corruption are on the rise.
Over time the arrival of the democratically elected representatives of the different political parties has generated controversy regarding the issue of security, since massive crime events have occurred in certain states of the country, in the six-year term of President Felipe Calderón, presented the war against drug trafficking. War in which hundreds of lives were lost from the different police corporations, navy and military corps, there is no doubt, however, that although it is difficult to fully correct the illegal acts, it was a struggle with a lot of effort that helped to reduce organized crime crimes.
We know that it is a really arduous battle to kill the problem at its roots. This includes other aspects such as economic, cultural and personal interests. Unfortunately, these types of factors always fall on the most vulnerable, people in extreme poverty.
From my point of view, I consider that we are a failed State in which the Federal Government does not have control of the groups with illicit activities but that they have been taking power, in recent years in states such as Nuevo León and Guerrero they have taken It carried out a series of confrontations between organized crime organizations, municipal police, the military and the navy, losing control as well as security, creating uncertainty for the inhabitants of the affected areas.
According to the report of the National Citizen Observatory of Security, Justice and Legality (ONC) issued in the first quarter of 2014, in order to make truthful and reliable information known to citizens with a punctual and objective analysis of official statistics and most recently published in the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System (SESNSP) in what was the first year of the administration of President Enrique Peña Nieto and the various rulers elected in 2012, six of the eight crimes with the most impacts registered rise so far in 2014.
Regarding the crimes of kidnapping, robbery, extortion, homicides and others, they have become very present words in our daily experiences, in one way or another we have been victims or witnesses of the violent acts that have been succinct in recent years in Mexico.
Trafficking in persons is another very broad topic that should be pointed out, it is delicate and they continue to be carried out in the country as in other parts of the world, there is a close relationship with these issues due to lack of information, but it can be reduced if efforts are joined, Today there are media that serve as a tool, such as social networks that help spread information simultaneously.
conclusion
The Federal Government has an obligation to guarantee peace in the State, but it is difficult to eradicate illegal acts in Mexico in their entirety, although reliability tests are carried out on elements of Public Security, and it is known that they continue to join criminal groups.
The issue of corruption in Mexico is another of the country's problems, the lack of ethics and remuneration for the elements of Public Security are other factors for which they agree to participate or allow themselves to be manipulated.
There are many personal interests that do not allow the administration to function as it should be, at the end of 2014, beginning of 2015, an insecurity crisis arose due to the disappearance of 43 people, the news went around the world creating controversy in other countries.
So the question is what is happening in Mexico? Is Public Security not working to guarantee peace among citizens? What we are sure of is that someone has to put order and this corresponds to the governments, whether Federal, State or municipal.
