About Jesús Alberto Capella Ibarra
Jesús Alberto Capella Ibarra was a Mexican police officer.
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.
Made famous for his tough stance against Mexico's notorious drug industry, which in the past had been virtually non-existent in Mexico. 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.
Capella Ibarra was removed from the position of Secretary for Public Security on December 1, 2008. In an unprecedented and unexplained move, he was substituted by a military official, Lieutenant Colonel Julián Leyzaola.
