Correctivos disciplinarios en las corporaciones de seguridad pública en México

Abstract

Disciplinary procedures comprised within the internal regulations of public security corporations in Mexico have long been used as ways of workplace terrorism by overseers who lack both the required preparation for their posts as well as the leadership to achieve goals that could be attained by other means, but their lack of empathy, obsession for shortterm goals and inexperience on the subject of crime prevention, combined with the inadequate training of new recruits, derive in the breeding of the submissive personnel that said overseers require to maintain their repressive working environment; that is to say, they groom their new employees to match their way of managing, creating robots that only obey and are unable to expose their bosses' incompetence.
 This situation has paved the way for a disregard, in both the executive and the legislative branches, to rectify the mistakes made when it comes to the labor rights of those within public security corporations. The premise has always been to appoint the next “Security Guru”, and to follow blindly whichever road he chooses. Politicians in office have never been concerned with learning the least about public security strategies: they simply put their trust in whoever they appoint and defend their stance, as long as it doesn't backfire.
