Citizen Evaluation of Mexico City?s Police
The Citizen Evaluation of Mexico City?s Police is an initiative by the Citizen's Council of Mexico City. It was organized in 2008-09 to learn about the activities of those responsible for providing security and seeking justice. The evaluation made Mexico City the only city in the world to evaluate the preventative police, investigators, agents of the Public Prosecutor's Office and all the areas of security in charge of the patrimony and the citizens of Mexico City. The exercise managed to establish a record of participation with 3.52 million citizens participating in the evaluation: in 2008, 1.6 million citizens participated and in 2009, 1.92 million.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
