An X prize for security

Alejandro Hope suggests that Mexico should use a model like that of the X prize to reward better security in Mexico. The governor and top state officials who manage the best improvements on security would receive millions.

I'm not sure I agree fully with his methodology, but I like the general concept and I'd like to think about how to extend it to Central America. What sort of reward system could create the sorts of changes and individual accountability that could improve security?
