Mexico City: A 20-year-old criminology student, the only candidate for the position, was designated as police chief in the violence-plagued town of Guadalupe Distrito Bravo, Mexican media reported Tuesday.

Marisol Valles Garcia took charge on Monday of security in the town, population 10,000, on the US border. The community is around 80 km east of Ciudad Juarez, itself regarded as the most violent city in Mexico.

The former mayor of Guadalupe Distrito Bravos, Jesus Manuel Lara Rodriguez, was killed on June 19 at his home in Ciudad Juarez, after receiving death threats.

Valles Garcia said she will not have to fight the drug gangs, which is the responsibility of other law enforcement agencies. Instead, she will pursue preventive programmes in neighbourhoods and schools, and she will be in charge of reclaiming public spaces for the community.

We have tens of millions of young Mexican nationals who should return home and take on these jobs.

If they love Mexico as much as the profess, it is their duty.

Agreed, GAPatriot; but then they would have to be honorable and have good moral values. Illegal aliens have neither honor or good moral values.

Kudos to this young lady and may God keep her safe.

I'm sure the cartels must be shaking in their boots. Let's see how long it will be before this girl is slaughtered. But, perhaps not. She and her officers won't be carrying guns.

What I fail to understand is why out of the hefty Meridia cash, the Mexican government doesn't use funds to pay law enforcement enough to give them the incentive to do their jobs...to work for Mexico rather than the cartels. Our paper said that this girl is going to make $7,700 something a year.

she will pursue preventive programmes in neighbourhoods and schools

She just broadcast that she's not going to bother the drug cartel, in stead she's going to run around in a McGruff the Crime Dog costume and play with the kiddies.

yep , she's nothing more than an appeasement by the local community to the drug lords , she's completely harmless ....

Where are the mexican soldiers ? from everything i've read about that town , the drug barons control and patrol it at night time ? the federals should be rolling in killing anything that holds a gun come night fall ..

Typical of mexico - put a young girl in the place of the dangerous job a man with some cahones should be doing.

I hope she stays safe.
