Michoacán, historically one of the most heavily fought over states in Mexico, has seen the deployment of drones, IEDs and conventional-style weapons as the state and illegal actors seek to assert a measure of control.

Elsewhere, heads have rolled in Paraguay with the discovery of a very well-connected drug ring, Honduras' feared former chief of police has been arrested and the Dominican Republic’s anti-crime crusade continued, targeting financial fraud and controversially building a border fence with Haiti. In Colombia, upcoming elections have triggered an all-too familiar wave of violence and Canada’s sleepy province of New Brunswick has become an unlikely cocaine hotspot.
