NY Times Video: Reforming Mexico's Police

The idealistic mayor of Jalapa is completely changing the police force in this small southern town in Mexico. He hired an Israeli Security force agency to help train the policemen. They had to start from the ground up because in Jalapa the policemen were completely corrupt. Most of the time they would not show up for work, and being a police officer was a fall back plan. Now under the efforts of the mayor the are training and hiring men who after much questioning and examining are accepted into the department of security. The mayor has bright hopes for his policemen and his town.

Lord,

Thank you for being our almighty protector and shield. Lord, help the town of Jalapa. Provide wisdom and peace in the heart of the mayor. He is doing good things for his town, so please give him confidence to keep going and doing good for his people. He reforming could be considered idealistic but I consider it practical bravery. Lord, I also pray for the new policemen in Jalapa. Keep them strong and do not let them be tempted by the dealings of the drug traffickers. Let them see money isn't everything, let them stay honest to their jobs and do your will Lord. God, I sense a turning around for this city in Jalapa, Lord please have your hand on the people in that town.

Amen
