This Friday, 191 new members of various security and justice institutions graduated after completing their training at the University of Police of the State of Sinaloa (Unipol).
During the commencement ceremony for the fifth generation of state and municipal proximity police, Rector José Carlos Álvarez Ortega highlighted that the institution’s mission is to train professionals with a scientific, technological, and humanistic vision, committed to the safety and well-being of the state.
The graduating class includes 69 members from the State Attorney General’s Office — 29 investigative officers, 10 forensic experts, and 30 prosecutors — as well as 53 from the State Secretariat of Public Security, 33 proximity officers, and 20 penitentiary staff. In addition, 69 municipal police officers from Culiacán, Guasave, Mazatlán, Salvador Alvarado, El Fuerte, Navolato, and Choix also completed their studies.
Álvarez Ortega also announced that 204 cadets are currently undergoing initial training and will graduate in December, further strengthening the state and municipal police forces before the end of the year.
Academically, Unipol has over 700 active students, enrolled in degree programs in Law and Public Security, Criminalistics, Master’s programs in Criminal Investigation and Public Security, and Doctorates in Public Security, Police Sciences, and the Criminal Justice System. Nearly 48% of students are active members of law enforcement and justice agencies.

“Our commitment is to keep study programs up to date and ensure our graduates not only possess technical skills but also a strong ethical and professional foundation that makes them worthy of society’s trust,” he concluded.
