San Diego mayor Jerry Sanders, and Jorge Ramos, mayor of Tijuana, made an agreement yesterday to provide for the training of Tijuana police officers in San Diego. The mayors expressed that the experience of the San Diego Police will provide Tijuana the ability to better combat crime and provide peace of mind for Tijuana families. San Diego will also benefit from having better security on its southern border, according to Mayor Sanders.

This is not the first joint effort between the two mayors. Sanders and Ramos teamed up last month to bring federal attention from both Mexico and the United States to the San Ysidro border crossing, saying that no one should have to wait for more than twenty minutes to cross the border in either direction.
