Despite Budget Increase, National Guard Shows Limited Results in the Face of Violence
“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
The National Guard shows limited results despite the budget increase, reflecting a lack of effectiveness in public safety.
The operational results of the National Guard do not correspond to the size or budget of the corporation. Five years after its creation, indicators show limited performance in crime prevention and violence reduction, according to the “Fifth Report of the Observatory of the National Guard and Militarization in Mexico,” prepared by Causa en Común.
In 2022, the National Guard reported the release of 29 kidnapping victims, compared to 724 officially registered in the same period.
That year, it also conducted 796 searches for missing persons, while the National Registry counted more than 9,000 missing persons.
In terms of effectiveness, these figures reflect a low response capacity to high-impact crimes.
The 2023 National Census of Federal Public Security by INEGI indicates that the corporation seized 90,000 objects and made only 2,814 arrests.
This equates to 45 elements required to be brought before the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
Furthermore, the number of alleged crimes handled by the GN has decreased by 89 percent since 2019, from 51,666 to 5,376 cases.
The Observatory emphasizes that the reduction in results coincides with a sustained increase in the budget, suggesting a lack of correlation between military spending and improvements in security.
Citizen approval
Even so, INEGI surveys indicate that the National Guard enjoys 74 percent citizen approval, a figure that the report attributes more to the symbolic perception of military discipline than to verifiable results.
Causa en Común warns that this gap between image and performance reinforces a security model based on armed presence rather than criminal investigation or prevention.
The organization concludes that official indicators show a National Guard oversized in resources and personnel, but with limited impact on crime reduction or institutional strengthening.
