The French Gendarmerie, Spanish Guardia Civil, and the Italian Carabinieri offer examples of highly capable SPF that can provide a useful context and learning for Mexico and Central America. Nascent experiences in Mexico and Central America have much to learn from European models of Stability Police Forces (SPF). Mexico’s new government has taken the initiative to form a National Guard that is still not operational but promises to be a unique security force combining both military and civilian security forces. With little hope for an immediate resolution to the problems of militarized criminal violence, some countries are turning to hybrid organizations, mixing police and military capabilities.
Mexico and Central America are facing a serious security crisis caused by powerful criminal gangs and transnational criminal organizations.
