In this Nov. 23, 2009 photo, Tijuana's Public Safety Chief Julian Leyzaola speaks with his police officers in Tijuana, Mexico. Leyzaola is leading the most aggressive police reform to date, a mix of counterterrorism and community policing. If it works, it would be a model for other hotspots and a huge breakthrough in a drug war that has taken more than 14,000 lives in Mexico since it was launched three years ago.
