Marisol Valles
Marisol Valles Garcia (* 1990 in Ciudad Juárez , Chihuahua State , Mexico ) was the police chief of Guadalupe , also Praxedis Guadalupe Guerrero ( Chihuahua ), and at the age of 20 became the youngest police chief in the world.
Valles, "the bravest woman in Mexico" , studied criminology in her native city and is the mother of one son.
She was the only applicant for the vacant post of police chief of Guadalupe, a rural town with just under 10,000 inhabitants, about 70 kilometers southeast of the border towns of El Paso ( Texas ) and Ciudad Juárez (Mexico). On Monday, October 18, 2010, Valles was sworn in in his new office. The police station has two police officers and a police car. The small town has an extremely high crime rate, is the hub of drug trafficking and is considered the most dangerous city in Mexico because of its drug crime and fights between the various drug cartels (see also: drug war in Mexico ); In June 2010, the town's mayor was murdered and several police officers were also killed.
Almost four and a half months after taking office, she fled to the United States with some relatives, where she applied for asylum on the basis of death threats. The 20-year-old had previously requested a few days off to “deal with personal affairs” outside the city and had not come to work since the end of February 2011. Mayor José Luis Guerrero dismissed them for this.
