The objective is to provide greater peace of mind to tourists and locals, and thus promote a safer environment for those who enjoy the port.
Although the port of Mazatlán has not experienced the same intensity of violent events as Culiacán, the state capital, forced disappearances have become a growing concern for its inhabitants.
This phenomenon has created a climate of unease among the population, and therefore, the authorities have decided to strengthen surveillance in the most frequented areas of the municipality.
One of the main focuses will be the tourist area, which extends from the Mazatlán Lighthouse to Cerritos, encompassing the Golden Zone, the Cerritos hotel zone, and the iconic Malecón.
These areas, essential for local and international tourism, will receive an increase in the number of Public Security personnel. This measure aims to provide greater peace of mind to both tourists and residents, thereby promoting a safer environment for those who enjoy the port.
Additionally, it has been reported that patrols will be increased throughout the city, with special attention to areas where there has been a rise in forced disappearances.
Strategy
The strategy aims to respond to citizens’ demands and prevent new incidents by reinforcing security in vulnerable areas.
With these actions, the authorities seek to mitigate the sense of panic that has grown in the community and restore the confidence of the population and tourism. The port of Mazatlán, whose economy largely depends on this sector, is committed to maintaining its image as a safe and attractive destination amid a complex context for the state of Sinaloa.
The implementation of these measures is seen as a necessary step to ensure the well-being of both visitors and locals, in an effort to balance the port’s tourist life with overall public safety.
