The government of Mexico City announced the deployment of a police operation that will involve 10,635 security elements throughout the entity as a reason for the start of the Easter holiday period. Among the measures proposed by the Ministry of Citizen Security are three main axes: security, surveillance and roads throughout the 16 demarcations. The project aims to protect the places of interest in the capital such as religious points and events, leisure, markets, tianguis, bus stations and other areas where inhabitants and tourists converge.
The administration headed by Claudia Sheinbaum reported that the device will last for two weeks. It began on Friday 8 April and will end on Friday 22 of the same month. The goal is to be able to provide the conditions for citizens to remain safe in the face of the increase in activities that are expected to generate a greater influx on the streets.
“Its purpose is to safeguard the physical and patrimonial integrity of the inhabitants of the capital and due to the exodus that will be generated of people traveling to other states and the arrival of a large number of visitors, as well as in response to the demand for mobility; also to avoid disturbance to public order, administrative failures, vandalism and the commission of wrongdoing,” the SSC said in a press release.
The main organizations contemplated are the Metropolitan Police, sectorial, the Banking and Industrial Police (PBI), the Auxiliary Police (PA) and the Undersecretariat for Traffic Control, which will provide a total of more than ten thousand troops. At the same time, they will be supported by 710 vehicles, motorcycles, and bicycles riding the bike paths.
SSC noted that a special focus will be placed on places that may have a higher crime incidence (such as robberies by passerby, car, account holder and house) such as commercial, banking and ATM areas, restaurants; family recreation such as cinemas, theaters, forests and gardens, areas and the Centro Histórico Tourist Corridor, in Paseo de la Reforma, the areas of Santa Fe, Polanco and Xochimilco, as well as in pilgrimages and markets.
The main bus stations in the city will also be subject to greater surveillance: the North Central, the South (Taxqueña), the East (Tapo) and the Poniente (Observatory). Regarding the Metro Collective Transport System, the stops at Pantitlán, Indios Verdes, Instituto Politécnico Nacional, El Rosario, Martín Carrera and Santa Martha Acatitla will have a greater presence of police officers, as well as the main Modal Transfer Centers (CETRAM).
Roads with the greatest importance due to their traffic flow will also be taken care of. The Mexico-Pachuca highway and the Mexico-Querétaro highway to the north; the Mexico-Cuernavaca to the south; the Mexico-Toluca to the west and the Mexico-Puebla to the east. Mexico City International Airport will be another of the venues where the greatest care is taken.
The first weekend that the police operation was launched coincided with the implementation of the so-called Dry Law, a measure imposed by the authorities to prevent the purchase and sale of beverages alcoholics. The rule will be valid from 18 hours this Saturday, April 9, and will end at midnight on Sunday 10. The objective of this is to avoid alterations and parties in view of the Mandate Revocation Consultation to be held.
