| Sumario: | This article studies the development of the police bureaucracy in Mexico City from 1870 to 1920. This sector was transformed during the period of the construction of the Mexican state. Within the larger framework of the modernization process for urban security forces, this article focuses on the case of police precincts. Within this node of police power, it identifies the social profiles of public servants, analyzes recruitment mechanisms and the roles and working conditions of office staff, demonstrating the need to understand how practices led to the creation of a different order than that outlined in regulations. This alternate order allows us to understand some characteristics of Mexican bureaucracies. |
