Law enforcement in Culiacán, Sinaloa, has not only suffered deadly losses during the internal conflict between Los Chapitos and La Mayiza, but the wave of violence has also prompted many officers to leave the force out of fear of being targeted by criminal groups.
According to information published by Infobae México, citing data from the Culiacán City Council, authorities approved 157 requests from officers assigned to the municipal and local duties to retire or receive early retirement benefits between Sept. 10, 2024, and July 17, 2026.
