Why Mexico Is Creating the 'Sexiest Police Force in the World': Does this Make any Sense?
Mexico recently came up with its first all-female police force. The creator boasts that the unit is the sexiest in the world and required all applicants to be young, female and pretty.
Winning Back Tourists
Mail Online revealed that Manuel Flores, chief of police in Acapulco, Mexico, decided to form the Tourist Assistance Brigade, which is comprised of 42 women aged between 18 and 28 years old. The move is to win back tourists who may be hesitant to visit the city due to the rising violence between rival drug cartels. He added that a sexy girl in authority can also take out the aggressiveness among people.
Latino Fox News reports that the Tourist Assistance Brigade, which started in Octorber, is an extension of the municipal police. Its main objective is to ensure the satisfaction of tourists. The women patrol resort beaches, control traffic to assist pedestrians and handcuff criminals while waiting for the authorities to arrest them. The women are versed in self-defense, lifesaving methods and crowd control. The girls were trained for three months with the Mexican Federal Forces and now earn about $440 each month.
They also make it a point to look beautiful by wearing makeup, styling their hair and keeping their nails manicured. They wear brown Bermuda shorts, sun hats, light blue polo shirts, pink lipstick and sunglasses. Their shift starts at 7 a.m. at the western portion of the bay, where they spend 30 minutes applying makeup. They are inspected by the senior officers of the municipal force before doing their rounds.
Not Discouraged to Flirt
Flores stated that he actually does not discourage the girls from flirting with tourists to ensure that they leave a good impression. He explained that their goal is to provide a sense of responsibility and confidence. He added that young women are also the least likely to be corrupt. The police chief personally interviewed each applicant.
“Tourism makes up 80 per cent of the local economy, and visitors number have dropped since the local gang wars began. But it’s not exist, we have fat chicks too,” Flores said.
So far, several tourists have enjoyed being chaperoned and assisted by the women. Some consider it an important job and certainly helps brighten people’s day.
As for the ladies, they said that they have been getting a lot of good feedback from both locals and tourists. Some are even asking them out. They are currently preparing for spring break, where a lot of college students from the United States are expected to visit.
