The Federal Preventive Police, also translated as Federal Preventative Police, known in Spanish as the Policia federal preventiva or PFP, is the uniformed federal police force of Mexico. The agency is directed by the Mexican Attorney General's Office. Typically, PFP officers are heavily armed and clad in fatigues. It was created by the merger of several other federal police agencies.
