This brief fills a gap in the studies of organized crime in Mexico
(Kan 2012, Rios 2011, Dell 2011) by documenting and mapping the
post-2008 assassination of Mexican border police chiefs. It traces
out a "systematic" of law-enforcement assassination in Northern
Tier Mexico, showing how the selective, often sequential, hits by
cartels on chiefs in border towns and along key drug-trafficking
corridors has proven an effective strategy by organized crime
elements to serve several goals: (1) to retaliate for federal,
state and local prosecution, (2) to try and neutralize police
chiefs, (3) to achieve intermittent local governance and/or to seed
corrupt police chiefs at the municipal level, and, (4) to reduce
local governmental capacity to obtain greater freedom for movement
of goods. It is argued that the tactical advantage of organized
crime elements gives them relatively easy physical access to law
enforcement targets and thus is thus one prime element facilitating
the use of assassination as a strategy. U.S. and Mexican legal,
political and judicial institutions have not been able to
adequately restrict opportunity for law-enforcement assassinations.
The inability to reduce access to weapons and officials, to
increase security for police personnel, to reduce corruption and
punish offenders sets the stage for the assassination of local law
enforcement. Yet, it is the goals of organized crime elements (to
clear drug-smuggling routes and to try and gain more pliant
governance at the municipal level) that ultimately motivate such
killings.
