Tijuana Police Chief Battles Corruption, Cartels

Tijuana Police Chief Battles Corruption

Tijuana's police chief, Julian Leyzaola, is known for his tough stance on corrupt police officers and his fight against the drug cartel. Since 2008, he has fired more than 600 officers who were believed to have been corrupt. He has really turned the face of his police force around.

But now human rights groups are criticizing him because of rumor that he has used torture methods to get information about corrupt cops and in battling the drug cartel. I thought this was a very interesting story to go along with the case study about the drug war.
