Background
Since 2000, the functions related to the preservation of public freedom, order and peace were entrusted to an autonomous secretariat of state and directly dependent on the president of Mexico called the Secretariat of Public Security "Secretaría de Seguridad Pública (Mexico)").
However, at the beginning of Enrique Peña Nieto's presidency, several changes were announced in the structure of the federal public administration, one of which consisted of the disappearance of two state secretaries, the Secretariat of Public Security "Secretaría de Seguridad Pública (Mexico)") and the Secretariat of Public Function "Secretaría de la Función Pública (Mexico)"). For which a project was presented to the Congress of the Union for the modification of the Organic Law of the Federal Public Administration and which was approved in December 2012.[1] Said reforms were published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on January 2, 2013, where those related to public security were integrated into the list of functions of the Ministry of the Interior:[2].
Likewise, said secretariat was granted the power to propose to the President of the Republic the appointment of the National Security Commissioner, who is mentioned in the penultimate paragraph of the aforementioned article 27 of the Organic Law of the Federal Public Administration, as the assistant to the Secretary of the Interior, in all powers related to public security.
The first National Security Commissioner was Dr. Manuel Mondragón y Kalb.[3].
