Scary Assessment of Vallarta Police

Started March 29, 2007 · 10,959 views · 3 posts
Banderasnews.com has a vary scary assessment of Puerto Vallarta Police. The article resulted from problems between gay community and the police, but the information is of widespread concern.

The article also suggested that they are aware of the problems and are working on them.

Here are a couple quotes...
Approximately 80% of the police patrols have no more than a primary school education. These are uneducated, untrained individuals, many of whom have self-esteem and ego issues, some of whom have alcohol or drug addiction problems, and other problems. These are troubled individuals who have been given power and authority, including lethal weapons, who lack the psychological temperament and education to responsibly handle their position.
The municipal police training academy has not been functioning for years. Police patrols are hired and put on the street with little or no training, and with no psychological evaluation to determine if they are appropriate defenders of public security.
The entire article can be found here..

ya ok next
ok heres the deal


this complaint has been the same for years,just from a different person
all you have to do is really read between the lines and call bull!

i say bull because i personally have been in the radio room of las juntas and i have been on hand at the academy for over a year now . from watching instructors comming in from santa barbara california to watching my wife organise an english course , and furthernore this writer has had issues in the past from a yellow friggin line on front of his place of business to bad relations with the mexican neighbours

im disgusted


please do not be offended jeff, just read between the lines

the friggin corona table comment should have stired any reader with a brain away from this article


banderas news doesnt make \" assesments \"
they , like others look for sensationalism and paul has done this all while devaluing the whole concept of policing

little does he know that the second in command, from the prior administration has , for the last 2 years fought for the rights of the gay people in old town especially the mans name , im leaving out this thread can not even get a job right now because he friggin well spoke up

i know this personally

how bout this for an idea

translate the article and bring it to the police in spanish and see what happens for such crap ,the least paul should have done was not publish his business name
this information should never be kept secret , but to deliver it with such devaluing statents is not just
