Police core activities can be grouped into three areas: preventing and controlling crime, enforcement of the criminal law and providing the community with other services. However, in order for the police to properly perform, it is essential they operate under effective management and supervision, receive appropriate training, and are provided with the necessary material and technological resources. Project MEXZ98 is intended to generate relevant statistical information on those topics for various police organizations in Mexico through the implementation of a police survey to the Federal Police, Preventive State and Municipal Police, Ministerial Police or Investigative Police and Internal Control Units. The survey will collect information on the socio demographic characteristics, background, recruitment process, basic functions and technical activities of the police force, as well as on its members habits, daily activities, institutional relationships, management and co-worker relationship, victimization, equipment and corruption experiences. The survey will cover a representative sample of police officers from different hierarchal levels from the 32 federal entities and 54 metropolitan areas of interest. 3
