Citizen mechanisms for monitoring public security institutions

As a result of an initial research project, Fundar is working on a project that centers on accountability and public security institutions. Between 2004-2006, we will review the different accountability mechanisms that are in place for the Mexico City Police Department (Secretaría de Seguridad Pública del Distrito Federal); we will analyze the statistics they publish, its budget, its internal control mechanisms, its efficiency indicators and the external control mechanisms that exist in the city. We plan to evaluate the availability of public information, transparency and the effectiveness of the control mechanisms.
