TULUM, Quintana Roo – The Secretary of Citizen Security of Quintana Roo, Rubén Oyarvide Pedrero, has confirmed a significant decline in criminal activity within the region. This commendable accomplishment can be attributed to a proactive approach in intelligence and operational strategy, working in close collaboration with security forces at all three levels of government, and a steadfast commitment to combating impunity.
During a press conference headed by the Secretary of Citizen Security of Quintana Roo, Oyarvide Pedrero stated, “We will continue to work diligently, employing intelligence as the foundation of our administration. Our ongoing fight against impunity requires time, but we will deliver results. Tulum stands as a shining example of the efforts and progress being made.”
The State Attorney General, Oscar Montes de Oca Rosales, reaffirmed that Tulum has witnessed significant apprehensions, search warrants, arrests, and crucial operations that have significantly altered crime statistics. However, he stressed that this achievement should not breed complacency but rather reinforce the overarching plan for Citizen Security.
Expressing gratitude to the State Security Committee, Mayor Diego Castañón Trejo emphasized their unwavering commitment to restoring peace and tranquility in Tulum. He highlighted a notable decrease in homicide rates, with the current count standing at three cases, a significant decline from previous months when numbers reached as high as 15.
Tulum, one of Quintana Roo and Mexico’s most vital tourist destinations, is vigorously dedicated to its security strategy. Participating agencies include the National Guard, SEDENA (Mexican Army), MARINA (Mexican Navy), the State Attorney General’s Office, the Tulum Public Security Police, and State Police. Their collective objective is to ensure a secure and peaceful environment for both local families and tourists.
The success in Tulum’s fight against crime can be primarily attributed to the effective collaboration and synergy between various security forces. By combining intelligence and operational expertise, these entities have effectively targeted criminal networks and disrupted their activities.
Moreover, the proactive measures taken by the local government have yielded positive outcomes. Enhanced surveillance systems, an increase in police presence, and a comprehensive intelligence network have played pivotal roles in deterring criminal elements and reinforcing public confidence.
However, it is important to note that these achievements should not breed complacency. The officials unanimously agree that sustained efforts and continuous adaptation of security measures are necessary to ensure lasting success.
In addition to the direct benefits for the local community, the decrease in crime rates in Tulum has a significant impact on the tourism sector. Tulum’s allure as a breathtaking tourist destination lies not only in its pristine beaches and ancient ruins but also in the sense of safety and security it offers to visitors. The current decline in crime rates serves to further solidify Tulum’s reputation as a safe haven for tourists from all corners of the globe.
While challenges remain, the collective determination to combat crime and ensure the well-being of residents and visitors alike remains unwavering. The ongoing collaboration between security forces, the continuous adaptation of strategies, and the support from the local community will undoubtedly contribute to further advances in Tulum’s security landscape.
