In an exclusive interview with the Guadalajara Reporter, Ricardo Salas Torres, executive secretary of the State Public Security Council (CESP), reveals the steps Jalisco authorities have undertaken to quell violent criminal activity and restore peace in the area.
He preempted questions on the topic by explaining that the CESP is an internal organ of the state government that oversees coordination between state law enforcement and criminal justice agencies, municipal police forces and federal authorities.
