Translated by Americas Program
Excelsior: National Security commissioner, Monte Alejandro Rubido García announced a security crackdown in Tierra Caliente, where he said the federal olice will assume control over several municipalities in Guerrero.
As of today, federal police and members of the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena), will assume control of Tierra Caliente, Acapulco and Guerrero.
He added that by order of President Enrique Peña Nieto and the Interior Minister, Miguel Angel Osorio Chong, federal police will take over security efforts in Acapulco during this holiday season.
At a press conference the commissioner explained that the special security operation will be implemented by a specialized unit to combat kidnapping and a special prosecutor will be placed in charge of the Attorney General's Office (PGR) in the state.
