It’s insane this got upvotes. You would be insane to take that job. Most mayors don’t have access to either, because either would cost a lot of money. Far more money than you’re imagining, and certainly more money than your average town hall could get access to. Most American towns wouldn’t be able to afford this.
Defense is unbelievably more difficult than you suggest. Defense requires constant readiness and paranoia, every single day. Offense requires a few minutes of aggression, once.
There’s not a lot of information here, but this doesn’t sound like “come on in”
Two municipal police officers were also injured in the attack
Any security would know what they’re up against, and the cartel would know the security’s there. Which means you’re not going to find just two good guards. If you don’t have a lot of money, you either have whatever local police you can get, or you maybe hire two wannabes who think an assault rifle is all you need to lock down a town hall. But they take days off. Or they take bribes.
Real security against the cartels would easily be millions of dollars over the course of the mayor’s time in office. Any security guard worth a damn isn’t going to risk their lives virtually alone looking out windows, that’s a death sentence.
