The Public Security and Communications Commission of the local Congress organized a working group to analyze a proposed reform to the State Private Security Law. The objective of this initiative is to clearly establish the grounds for the revocation of authorization for individuals or entities providing private security services.
During the session, Gustavo Bravo, advisor to the PRI parliamentary group, explained that the proposal includes various specific causes for revocation, such as accumulating more than one suspension of activities, incorporating personnel without having passed the trust control exam, providing false information, refusing duly notified inspections, among others. The aim is to provide legal certainty to both companies and the authority, in order to combat irregular practices in a sector considered auxiliary but strategic in surveillance and protection efforts in the state.
One of the concerns raised during the discussion was the legal viability of the reform. Vicente Vázquez Bustos, representative of the Legal Advisory Office, expressed reservations about the proposed regulatory treatment, arguing that it seems isolated and does not adequately consider what is established in current legislation. It was also pointed out that there is currently insufficient capacity to apply the trust control to all personnel in the private sector, which could lead to situations that are difficult to comply with.
The working group was led by Deputy José Erandi Bermúdez Méndez, who requested that the observations made be sent in writing to review the aspects susceptible to improvement in the initiative. Representatives from the Secretariat of Security and Peace, the León City Council, the Administrative Justice Tribunal, as well as companies and experts in private security participated in the discussion.
