Almost the entirety of the entry is written as though the PF still exists, with only the infobox clearly indicating it was dissolved, and the event described very briefly and unclearly in the article itself. In need of an overhaul, can someone please fix this? 2600:1700:9BD1:3440:7080:63D1:7686:F3DF (talk) 03:08, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• The use of the name Policia Federal Preventiva is now obsolete because they have changed their name to Policia Federal. In a news conference after the Zacatecas prison break in May spokesman Ricardo Nájera for the Mexican Atorney General stated that the name and acronym PFP (Policia Federal Preventiva) has not been used for a year and a half [1].

As was added already, the name of the PFP was changed to the Federal Police a while back. However, there are two pictures currently on the article (the bottom two) that show officers of what used to be the PFP. So maybe the captions can be changed to reflect this.

There is also the section of "proposed disbandment." The force was never really disbanded, only re-organized and re-named. So there should probably be a title change for that.

And finally, the Ford Crown Victoria is no longer in service. When the PF changed color schemes not too long ago, they only re-painted vehicles that were from the model year 2003 or newer. They got rid of the older cars, which included the Fords and I'm sure also the Impalas as I have not seen any of them in the new scheme. This comes from this article, which speaks of the new vehicle adquisitions and the name change for the agency:

As has already been pointed out, but not yet corrected, the name Policia Federal has been in use much longer than the article suggests. I have a picture that I took at the Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México (Mexico City International Airport) on April 24th, 2008, showing a Patrol car of the Policia Federal... Would be glad to share the picture if any Admin wold like me to submit it. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Milanf07 (talk • contribs) 19:45, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

would have to put this cop is listed as one of the most corrupt in the world, and statistically the Mexican population does not trust her, sad but true.--200.66.106.59 (talk) 03:55, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. There's not a criticism section on the article, and regarding both their "results" and their reputation among Mexican population, one should be mandatory. The article lacks a section about their history and activities since their creation, too. - Holothurion (talk) 23:05, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• What exactly would the criticism section have?

"With limited options available, Calderón turned to the Mexican Armed Forces, which, because of its limited involvement in acting against the cartels, remained relatively immune to corruption and organized crime infiltration." Seeing as how Calderon's administration itself has indicted ranking generals for ties to cartels, this statement is transparently false. 68.193.162.13 (talk) 08:30, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Notice that the source does not say that the whole military was immune from corruption. It simply states that FCH turned to the military because the police force was heavily corrupted (or at least that was the perception). Remember that the Armed Forces had a generally isolated duty after the massacre of Tlatelolco. I hope this clears it up for you; if not, let me know. Best,
