However, this piece of data is unsettling: according to the Secretariat of Public Security, local police in Mexico acquired only 2.2 percent of the quantity of weapons that the SSP deemed necessary in 2007. That decimal point is not an error. The states have access to a federal public security fund, 41 percent of which went unused.

Would you mind providing the URL or a link to your source: La Secretaria de Seguridad Publica...
I find this interesting and would like to read on it myself...
Looking, looking...
If you want to poke around on their website too, here it is:

Of course, it may be that Excélsior had access to a hard copy and that there isn't one available on the web.
Another possibility is in the first report listed on this page:

I haven't had time to check out the data inside of it, but there is some spending info on each of the states starting on page 36. I imagine it is contained somewhere in there.
