Jesús Alberto Capella Ibarra

Alberto Capella is a Mexican law enforcement officer and former Tijuana's Commissioner of Police or Secretary of Public Security (Secretario Municipal de Seguridad Pública) of the municipality of Tijuana.^[1]

Made famous for his tough stance against Mexico's notorious drug industry, which in the past had been virtually non-existent in Mexico.^[2]^[3] Due to the nature of his involvement in attempts to stop drug trafficking, notably among the Tijuana drug cartels, Capella has been the subject of assassination attempts and extortion.^[4]^[5]

Capella Ibarra was removed from the position of Secretary for Public Security on December 1, 2008.^[6] In an unprecedented and unexplained move, he was substituted by a military official, Lieutenant Colonel Julián Leyzaola.^[6]

Capella Ibarra was renamed again Secretary of Public Security of the municipality of Tijuana on October 4, 2011, by his godfather Carlos Bustamante who was mayor at the time. ^[7]
