Mexican police 'probed on drugs'
6 October 2006

The entire police force in the Mexican city of Tijuana is to be investigated on suspicion of being involved in drug trafficking and organised crime.

In an unprecedented move, the authorities say it is the only way to clean up the force.

Tijuana is on the American border and has been a major staging post for the supply of drugs to the United States.

Dozens of people have been killed so far this year in violent turf wars in the city.

In the words of Tijuana's mayor, Jorge Hank Rhon, everyone from the policeman on the street to the state superintendent will be the subject of this extraordinary investigation.
