The Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Omar García Harfuch, stated that the country's public security is also built on the basis of analysis, anticipation, and the use of strategic information. According to the official, one of the pillars of this strategy is the National Intelligence Center (CNI), an institution that concentrates and processes relevant information for the prevention of crimes and the identification of risks that may affect the population. García Harfuch highlighted that the CNI's work is based on permanent coordination among various state instances, which allows for integrating information from different areas and strengthening decision-making in matters of security. This intelligence work, he explained, aims to anticipate risk scenarios and translate technical analysis into concrete actions that contribute to the protection of citizens in different regions of the country. Likewise, he emphasized that prevention and risk reduction before they materialize are part of the strategy's central objectives, with the aim of advancing towards conditions of greater stability and security. Finally, the secretary reiterated that strengthening intelligence and institutional coordination are fundamental elements for building lasting peace, framed in actions that prioritize the security of the population.
