Personnel assigned to several lakeside-based district attorney agencies (Ministerio Público or MP) will stay in their jobs after successfully passing the state’s control and confidence screening process.
Rogelio Reyes, MP supervisor for Chapala, Jocotepec and Tizapán, told the Reporter that he and all other officials in his jurisdiction sailed through a battery of exams qualifying them as healthy, reliable and trustworthy officials. Each individual has also been awarded a one-time 5,000-peso pay bonus from the federal government for making the grade, he said.
Last August, Jalisco’s State Evaluation Center revealed that nearly 5,000 members of state and municipal law enforcement agencies, including some MP officials, fell short in some aspect of the testing. The vetting exams cover the evaluations of the subject’s physical and emotional and socio-economic status, as well as toxicology screening for substance abuse and polygraph testing for signs of corruption and dishonesty.
