The Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) of Mexico City (CDMX) will deploy 800 female police officers to accompany the mobilizations this Saturday, March 8, in commemoration of International Women’s Day.
Through a statement, the agency specified that the police officers will provide remote support and will only intervene in the event of an emergency or contingency.
They could be joined by 400 police officers who will be in the vicinity in case their participation is required.
