The Border: Tijuana

The heavily armed bodyguard of a high-ranking official within the Tijuana Police Department waits outside a police station watching for potential attacks on June 06, 2007. In anticipation of a crackdown on corrupt police officers, high-ranking officials in the government and police department have been targeted throughout the Baja region. Police officers and other government officials who do not collaborate with the region’s crime syndicates are often killed.
