4. MISPA I (Mexico 2008) The Police forces in most of the countries have (1): • low salaries and precarious social benefits . • instability of work • low requirements for admission into the force • Limited attention is paid to developing a career police force. • There is a lack of clarity as to the most suitable police model and policing strategies to be followed. • deficient Internal control mechanisms . • a lack of external oversight by government and civil society. • High degrees of institutional autonomy remain and thus there is a lack of checks and balances and controls by police authorities to ensure sound police action. • Systematic increases in qualifications for admission to the force are necessary. • Training systems are being established but there is little evidence to show that they are actually used and implemented. • Police initiatives are not evaluated or monitored.
