Description

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a project that advances U.S. national interests by improving the effectiveness of Mexican frontline law enforcement and prosecutors, particularly those working with U.S.-supported vetted and special units. This initiative directly supports the security of the United States by addressing critical gaps in evidence handling, report writing, and legal interoperability—key areas that impact the legality, quality, and success of detentions, seizures, and prosecutions. Through targeted training and capacity building, this project will prepare Mexican law enforcement and prosecutorial teams to conduct operations that meet legal standards, ensuring that arrests and evidence collection result in successful prosecutions. By fostering stronger collaboration and legal alignment between law enforcement and prosecutorial efforts, the project will enhance Mexico’s ability to combat cartel-related crime, reduce impunity, and disrupt transnational criminal networks that threaten U.S. and regional security. This effort reflects the America First commitment to strategic partnerships that deliver concrete results for the American people while advancing mutual security interests with Mexico.
