Yesterday, Inegi presented public security statistics in the states. In its Regional Report at the BBVA Stadium in Guadalupe, the governor of Nuevo León, Samuel García, highlighted a 10-point increase in the public security index over the last three years. Upon taking office, the state had an index of 51, now it stands at 40, being one of the few states without a security alert from the United States, along with Yucatán.
García emphasized that despite previous negative perceptions of insecurity in Nuevo León, the National Urban Public Security Survey showed the opposite. He pointed out that the entity, along with Yucatán, is not under a security alert from the United States, thus contributing to the boost of tourism and investment in the country.
The governor mentioned that Nuevo León is one of the safest states with the lowest rates of high-impact crimes. He reiterated his commitment to security by recalling personal experiences of insecurity in the past and highlighted the measures implemented to protect the population.
García detailed that Nuevo León has a historic investment of 15 billion pesos in the new Civil Force, considered the best police force in Mexico. The entity has an extensive video surveillance system with 5,000 cameras, as well as additional technology in vehicles and municipalities, all connected to an intelligence center to strengthen security.
The governor highlighted the presence of 90 Black Mambas distributed across the state, a war helicopter operating in rural areas, and the renewal of the C5. García emphasized the importance of the University of Security Sciences and stated that Nuevo León is fortified and has the best police force in Mexico.
