The Police We Want

As a response to a growing trend of violent crimes, kidnappings and scandals in relation to police complicity with crime and violence, AFSC through its partner in Mexico City, Alianza Cívica, works with communities in contributing to improve the police. The objective is to transform the police from being violent against the citizens to becoming an honest, reliable police force, protective of and accountable to civic society.

The video shows activities of the project “The Police We Want.”
