Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto has announced plans to overhaul the country's municipal police forces after the disappearance of 43 students.
He plans to put all local police units under federal control.
The students, all trainee teachers, went missing in September after joining a protest in Iguala, Guerrero state.
Their disappearance sparked mass protests, with many still unconvinced by the official explanation that the students were murdered by a drugs gang.
