From Times Staff and Wire Reports

All 119 officers will be fired immediately, Miguel Mario Angulo Flota, secretary of the Quintana Roo state public security system, told the government’s Notimex news agency. The tests were given to 2,879 officers in Quintana Roo state. Angulo Flota said he believed that 4.1% “does not constitute an alarming proportion.”
