Mexican police
Hi Sean, law enforcement in Mexico is pretty complicated and in many ways is similar to the US:
Federal:
- Federal Preventive Police/Policia Federal Preventiva (uniformed federal gendarmerie type force - wear dark blue BDU uniforms)
- Federal Investigations Agency/Agencia Federal de Investigación (Mexico's version of the US FBI - do not wear uniforms but have jackets, baseball caps, ballistic vests, etc that say "AFI")
- Mexican Customs/Audana (I have absolutely no details on them)
- Policia Frontera (Mexico's border patrol - I believe they wear green uniforms kinda like the US Border Patrol)
Federal District of Mexico City:
- Federal District Preventive Police
- Federal District Judicial Police
State: (in each of Mexico's 31 states)
- State Preventive Police
- State Judicial Police
Municipal:
- Municipal Police called Policia Municipal
I really dont know much about them, its next to impossible to find any details on uniforms, rank insignia, etc for the Mexican police.

Yes, I have heard they are complex organisations.
And also difficult to get info on.
Here's one from the early part of the last century
