It is planned to create three police sectors, implement a unified command, and expand the video surveillance system with more security cameras at strategic points.

Within the management of security in the Historic Center, Master Carlos Cervantes Godoy has been designated as the new authority for the area. His main objective is to attend to the population that resides, works, and moves through this important commercial, cultural, and political epicenter. By instruction of the head of government, efforts are being made to reinforce security in the area in collaboration with various local and federal institutions.
