With a deployment of over 24,900 elements and 6,200 units, Guanajuato has activated the 'Operativo San Cristóbal 2026' for the Easter and Holy Week period, covering all 46 municipalities with a presence on highways, beaches, dams, and tourist areas.

Full coverage at critical points. The deployment includes permanent surveillance in high-traffic areas such as historical centers, religious sites, and tourist destinations, as well as highway monitoring to reduce travel risks. The operational equipment includes ambulances, helicopters, and specialized units for rapid emergency response, in a scheme aimed at reducing response times across the state. A call for prevention. Beyond the institutional deployment, the operation emphasizes citizen responsibility: avoid driving under the influence of alcohol, check vehicles before traveling, and not enter unauthorized bodies of water like dams or rivers. It also urges the prevention of forest fires and the responsible use of emergency lines 911 and the anonymous tip line 089. Furthermore, this deployment is coordinated with the state's CONFÍA strategy (Operational Coordination of the New Intelligence Force Against Crime), recently launched to reinforce security on highways and key corridors in Guanajuato. The program prioritizes intelligent surveillance, focused patrols, and inter-institutional coordination to keep roads safe, especially during high-mobility seasons like Holy Week, when vehicular and tourist traffic increases in the state.
