A total of 120 units are also assigned and 89 elements work in the security of superiors. This was reported by the agency through a request for information on the transparency platform.
According to the Proyecto Azul Cobalto report, Chihuahua ranks seventh in the country as the entity with the highest number of police murders in the country, this in the sum of all the corporations.
The ministerial police, which is part of the investigative corporation of the State Attorney General’s Office, has a total of 25 cases since 2019 and until 2024, which is a greater number than corporations such as the National Guard or the State Guard.
