The PGR, after conducting a survey of 1,065 state policemen, from whom they are trying to form 32 anti-kidnapping units, concluded that only 40 percent are qualified and trustworthy enough for kidnapping duty. The lack of qualified officers willing to take on the nation's toughest security tasks remains one of the most persistent problems in Mexico. No matter how well intentioned and well designed the solutions (new federal police forces, judicial reform, et cetera) are, if Mexico can't count on good people implementing them at the most basic level, there's a limit to their impact. Which is one reason why Genaro García Luna's biggest long-term impact could be in churning out well trained, motivated cadets with a sense of esprit de corps.
Just as important: there's a great picture of the new attorney general in the article above.
