Resumen:
The following article analyzes the role of Juan B. Lagarde as head of
the secret police in Mexico City during the civil war of the Reform
period (1858-1860), the importance they had in both control and security
which were established by the conservative parties of general Felix
Zuloaga (1858) and Miguel MiramOn (1859-1860) to patrol, persecute and
imprison anyone who was seditious or pose a threat your administrations.
We see his tireless effort and excessive methods as chief of political
police to counter the government agents which during the three years of
conflict, conspired and worked against to promote insurgencies. Feared,
hated, yet respected by the people and its political adversaries, Juan
Lagarde fulfilled the mission that the regime emanated from the Plan of
Tacubaya entrusted him.
