To meet the Congressional mandates of Plan Merida, INL programs in the region include the following objectives: •Continue to support Mexican state and federal entities with efforts to institutionalize the rule of law among law enforcement and judicial sector operators, including through police professionalization, justice sector reform, anti-corruption, and border security initiatives. •Help Mexico achieve its transition to the new criminal justice system. •Create a 21st century border structure, by further developing Mexico's capacity to detect and prevent smuggling of illicit goods and trafficking in persons. Support networked technology systems and professionalization to strengthen Mexico's control of its northern and southern borders and ports of entry. •Bolster Mexico's efforts to prevent crime and violence by supporting the establishment of resilient communities better able to withstand the pressures of organized crime through drug demand reduction, citizen oversight of security forces, and culture of lawfulness programs. •Continue to build Mexico's capacity to disrupt and dismantle organized criminal networks, including capacity building to counter illicit finance and combat the production of, and trafficking in, illegal narcotics. •Support the U.S. Embassy's second overall goal from its FY14-16 Integrated Country Strategy (ICS): to support Mexican state and society efforts to establish highly efficient, transparent, and accountable prosecutorial, correctional, and alternative justice institutions that respect human rights; to assist Mexico in improving federal, state, and local governments' operational ability to prevent and mitigate crime and terrorism, impact transnational criminal organization (TCO) cash flow, contribute to criminal cases against TCO leaders and members, disrupt TCO trust and corruptive relationship, and safely apprehend TCO and other high target offenders; and to improve border security, including building support to the Mexican government's efforts to secure their southern border.
