This meeting, which brings together state representatives from entities such as Colima, Guanajuato, Zacatecas, Nayarit, and Michoacán, as well as federal and military authorities, follows up on joint strategies for addressing security in the area.
State authorities highlighted that the head of state will present the progress made in the strategies implemented in Jalisco, focused mainly on strengthening equipment, the use of technology, and inter-institutional coordination, as well as actions in crime prevention and response. Likewise, it was recalled that these strategies include collaboration between corporations of the three orders of government, intelligence work, active patrolling, and the application of sentences.
