Abstract
This report examines Mexico’s drug and police culture while analyzing police cultures in similarly organized countries. Drugs and cartels have a long and violent history within Mexico and the problem is spilling over the border into the United States. With corrupt and insufficiently trained police forces, the ability to effectively fight the drug war is extremely limited. Both the United States and Mexico have worked together to try to combat these connected issues, but more needs to be done. Key recommendations were found by analyzing the bipartite structures in Brazil and South Africa with a focus on Armenia. These recommendations include the following:
- Prioritize the interests of the people
- Standardized training
- Distinguish a disciplinary authority to investigate human rights violations
- Practice community-based policing using well-trained officers
- Senior National Guard positions not to be reserved for friends of political appointees
- Improve communication and information sharing
- U.S. Technology and systems recommendations
- Appoint a cabinet level Drug Czar
- Limitations to this research include the use of only online materials and database articles and journals.
