Law enforcement in Mexico

Mexico's law enforcement operates with three distinct powers of authority and jurisdiction: federal, state and municipal. The Federal Police, which oversaw nationwide police operations, was dissolved in 2019 by president Andrés Manuel López Obrador due to corruption, links with organized crimes and similar issues. The Mexican National Guard replaced the Federal Police.
