The Mexican government is actively seeking new recruits for its Federal Protection Service (SPF), part of its commitment to enhancing public security across the nation. The Secretaria de Seguridad y Protección Ciudadana (SSPC) has launched a recruitment drive targeting individuals between the ages of 18 and 65, aiming to fill specialized guard positions responsible for the protection and security of federal entities.
Open recruitment is well underway, and both men and women are encouraged to apply. The qualifications are straightforward: candidates must be Mexican citizens, have completed at least their secondary education, and meet physical requirements, including minimum heights of 1.50 meters for women and 1.60 for men. Importantly, applicants should not have visible tattoos and must pass drug tests among other background checks.
Interested individuals can expect attractive benefits as part of their employment. A monthly salary of MXN 12,906 is offered, along with additional benefits such as 40 days' worth of year-end bonuses, birth leave, and healthcare insurance. These financial incentives aim not only to attract potential candidates but also to improve conditions for those entering public service security roles.
The recruitment campaign kicked off to reinforce the capacities of the SPF, indicating the government's proactive approach to public safety. This was underscored by the SSPC’s announcement of recruitment events scheduled for January 30 and 31, 2025, occurring at various locations across the State of Mexico, Morelos, and Mexico City.
Specifically, on January 30, recruitment assistance will be offered at several sites, including Ozumba and Tecámac, both known for their engagement with community safety initiatives. On January 31, applicants can visit recruitment modules at venues including the Museo Vivencial Ferrocarril 279 and the Service Nacional de Empleo offices within Cuernavaca to get more information or start the application process.
"Los requisitos son: ser ciudadano mexicano, haber concluido la educación secundaria, no tener antecedentes penales ni haber sido destituidos de cargos públicos o cuerpos de seguridad," stated representatives from the SSPC, highlighting the thorough nature of the selection process. Current initiatives, according to the Secretaria de Trabajo y Fomento al Empleo (STFE), aim for transparency and efficiency, ensuring every potential applicant is well-informed about the requirements of the job.
The STFE has also confirmed the module's functionality, where candidates can receive detailed guidance about the selection process, which emphasizes the importance of complying with all established criteria. An important aspect of this recruitment effort is ensuring candidates are screened properly to maintain the integrity and security of public service positions.
On the same day as the recruitment events, both governmental and non-governmental organizations are working closely to raise awareness and encourage public participation. This collaborative approach reflects the urgency and necessity of maintaining security within public institutions.
Overall, this recruitment initiative is part of broader efforts to strengthen Mexico's public safety framework. Leaders encourage qualified youth to seize this opportunity to serve their communities and participate actively in national security efforts. By appealing to the commitment and sense of duty among citizens, the government aims not only to fill roles but to inspire pride and responsibility within the ranks of federal security services.
This recruitment drive, as part of SSPC's broader strategic effort, serves as both a necessary response to current security challenges and as part of a comprehensive plan for safeguarding the nation’s future. The hope is for many applicants to step forward, bringing fresh perspectives and vigor to the important task of protecting the country’s institutions.
