Julián Leyzaola (born February 27, 1960 in Culiacán, Sinaloa) is a former Mexican military officer and former police chief and public safety secretary of Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.
He became the new top cop in Ciudad Juárez after serving as the state police chief of Baja California, and is "credited with cleaning up Tijuana" from the drug violence.
In the border city of Tijuana, Leyzaola launched "a crackdown on organized crime and police corruption," resulting in multiple assassination plots by the cartels.
His law enforcement achievements cost him dearly as he was shot and paralyzed while returning from a trip in Mexico.
