Agents from the Municipal Public Security Directorate, the State Attorney General’s Office, the State Citizen Security Force, the National Guard, and the Mexican Army carried out a joint operation, visiting bars and nightclubs located in the hotel zone of the city to ensure the safety of those who frequent these establishments.
The operations were led and overseen by Mayor Norma Alicia Bustamante Martínez of Mexicali; Baja California’s Secretary of Security Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez; the Municipal Secretary, Rodrigo Llantada Ávila; and the Director of Public Security, Luis Felipe Chan Baltazar.
The mayor explained that these inspections aim to provide peace of mind to those who visit these entertainment venues and reaffirm authorities’ commitment to their safety.
Meanwhile, the State Secretary of Security noted that these actions will be replicated in other parts of the region.
“One of the main instructions by Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila is to reinforce this type of coordinated operations, and that’s how we’ve been working. Here, we ensure that social recreation spaces are safe for both customers and staff. This will continue and will be implemented in all seven municipalities,” General Laureano Carrillo stated.
Mexicali’s Director of Public Security highlighted the positive response from establishment owners, who have shown a willingness to provide safe spaces for their clients. He also assured that these operations will continue.
Lastly, Rodrigo Llantada Ávila emphasized that these operations also demonstrate the coordinated efforts among different agencies, which will help ensure the safety and peace of mind of Mexicali residents and Baja Californians.
