Books instead of weapons? This is how they promote reading among the Neza police

Nezahualcóyotl.- Police from the municipality of Nezahualcóyotl put down their weapons for a moment to pick up pencil and paper and become little writers.

This is a local project aimed at bringing the security agents of the second most populous municipality in the State of Mexico closer to the habits of reading.

“We want the cops have better training that allows them to have a more professional spectrum in dealing with citizens and put aside vices that have dragged on for years,” explained Rubén González, director of crime prevention.

Through workshops they receive from the brigade To read freely, security elements captured part of their language in fragments of various titles of literature.

“I’m a registered nurse. I can show you my title, right now if we go to my 100, your 100? Ironically 52 of 90, your 100? Which of all?” Was the translation they made of a fragment of the work at night you come, by Elena Poniatowski.
