Juarez Mexico Kidnappings affecting America

Kidnap and ransom insurance is not just for fat cat expatriates globe trotting the world.  The market right here in the U.S. is growing and for good reason.  Most Americans are not aware of the extent of kidnappings in Phoenix.

In what is now a dangerous and deadly crime wave, Phoenix, Arizona has become the kidnapping capital of the United States, with more incidents than any other city in the world outside of Mexico and over 370 cases last year alone.

Do most people in the U.S. even consider KnR insurance, now.  Most of the kidnappings are related to the drug trade and the ridiculous problems they have across the boarder in Juarez Mexico, however, ordinary people are not left out of the problem.

Kidnappings and other crimes connected to the Mexican drug Cartels and are spreading across the border, from Texas to California. A  news investigation uncovered horrific cases of chopped-off hands, legs and heads when a victim’s family doesn’t pay up fast enough (basically, the worst parts of the movie Scarface).

To combat the crime, the Phoenix police have created a special unit to handle the kidnappings called the Home Invasion Task Force, which has pulled more than a dozen officers off other assignments. The crimes are occurring across the valley and in all types of neighborhoods.  Kidnap and ransom insurance is actually being purchased by U.S. citizens living in their own neighborhoods.
