Mexico’s National Guard is a relatively new security force established in 2019. It was created to address the country’s high crime rates and complement traditional law enforcement.
In 2019, it emerged by merging elements of the Federal Police, Military Police, and Naval Police.
The National Guard was intended to be a gendarmerie, focusing on territorial defense and public security tasks like crime prevention and patrolling.

The National Guard’s role is evolving. It still tackles crime, but also handles tasks like border control and disaster relief.
