Aguascalientes police trained by Navy in official protection, boosting operational skills

Six police officers from Aguascalientes's Special Operations Group (Gopes) have completed specialized training in the protection of public officials, conducted by the Mexican Navy (Semar). The intensive course aimed to bolster the officers' operational competencies and their ability to respond to high-risk situations.

During the month-long training at the 57th Marine Infantry Battalion in Mexico City, the officers received instruction in a wide range of skills. These included risk management, individual drawing techniques, close protection for officials, formation and integration of escort teams, defensive and offensive driving, and vehicle escort procedures. The curriculum also covered tactical and administrative vehicle changes, water rescue, high-performance physical conditioning, observation techniques, and the legal foundations for using force and respecting human rights.

Continuous training is fundamental to strengthening the capabilities of the State Police, optimizing attention in situations that put the population's safety at risk, and consolidating a force that is increasingly prepared to face public security challenges.

Significantly, one Aguascalientes police officer distinguished himself by securing second place overall in the course, outperforming participants from Semar and other special forces units. State Public Security Secretary Antonio Martínez Romo highlighted this achievement as a reflection of the high level of preparation, discipline, and professionalism characteristic of the state's security forces.

Martínez Romo emphasized that continuous training is crucial for enhancing the State Police's capabilities, optimizing responses to security threats, and ensuring the force remains well-prepared to confront public security challenges. The training program, managed by the Marine Infantry's Center for Specialized Training and Instruction (CCAEIM) and the Special Operations Unit, also included instruction in self-defense, close combat, specialized intervention, and reaction, defensive, and night firing techniques.
