More Security Promised
For the Holiday Season
The Ministerio de
Seguridad Pública, the
Organismo de
Investigación Judicial (OIJ)and
the Policía Municipal
are joining forces for
the holiday season to
ensure public safety and
security.
At least 10.000 members
of the Fuerza Pública,
joined by agents of the
OIJ, municipal police
and private bank
security, will be on
hand to provide citizens
a safe season.
The patrols include the
units of the mounted
police, motorized units
and Vigilancia Aérea
(air support).
The measures, according
to the Seguridad Pública,
is to allow the people
to relax and enjoy the
season without fear of
being victims of crime.
Accodring to Rafael
Gutiérrez, viceministro
de Seguridad Pública,
police cadets will also
be on patrol during the
season providing support
to the regular units.
All the police agencies,
including the Unidad de
Intervención Policial (UIP),
Unidad Canina, Unidad
Especial de Apoyo and
the Policía Turística,
will have increased
patrols, said Gutiérrez.
However, all the added
patrols will mean
nothing if the public
does not heed to the
advice of the police,
like not going out on
the streets with large
sums of cash, not
talking to strangers
with a surprising
approach and avoid
walking alone in
desolate areas.
Police officials also
recommend not to count
money in public and be
accompanied while
shopping or banking.
