US, Mexico build police academy in anti-drug effort.. U.S. and Mexico have begun building a new police academy in the central Mexican state of Puebla as part of the Merida joint anti-drug effort. Mexican federal police have been receiving training under the auspices of the Merida program since 2008 at a public security academy at San Luis Potosi in northern Mexico that trains officers for a variety of missions.
the State Department would be providing $4 million for the center and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other security agencies would be advising the academy. Last month the U.S. announced a $500 million increase in the aid it provides under the crime-fighting Merida Initiative to broaden US anti-drug assistance beyond Mexican federal law enforcement.
