Owing to the little information collected to measure the results of armed engagements between members of organized crime and the Federal Police, Army and Navy corps federal forces, this paper offers statistics concerning the results of such encounters occurred between 2008 and 2011, collected from two sources, newspapers and data provided by the Mexican Ministry of Defense. Data analysis shows that Army and Marine lethality index is significantly higher than Police’s. It also shows that the lethality index of the Army has increased considerably from 2008 to 2011 and that the relation of deaths over detainees has also risen from 2009 to 2011. The paper concludes cautioning about the implicit dangers when using the army and navy to achieve public security tasks.
