The entire Police Force of the tarnished international
Mexican vacation City of Acapulco has been disarmed and is under investigation
for links to drug cartels. James Blears explains why it`s been necessary for
law and order chiefs to resort to this drastic action.

State Authorities pulled the plug on Acapulco`s entire
Police Force, which has been stripped of its guns, radars, bullet proof vests,
vehicles, plus all responsibilities and it`s been placed under
investigation. Officials say that three senior Police Officers have been
arrested and that the Force has been deeply infiltrated by drug cartels,
with crime fighting grinding to a halt.
State Police, troops and Marines are now running law and
order, patrolling the streets. Once the jewel in Mexico`s tourism crown,
world famous for its cliff diving, the favorite spot of film stars
and the site of the annual national Tourism Convention, Acapulco is now
being fought over by three drug cartels, with violence spilling on to its
beaches and into its Hotel Zone. Paradise lost.
