**CCSPM Requests Tours in State Prosecutor’s Office Facilities**
The Citizen Committee for Municipal Public Safety (CCSPM) has sought permission to conduct tours within the facilities of the State Prosecutor’s Office (FGE) and the Regional Prosecutor’s Office. This initiative is led by Edgardo Flores Campbell, the president of the committee. Flores Campbell stated that the aim is to get authorization from both the regional and general prosecutors to inspect the Tijuana facilities.
He lauded the previous administration of Tijuana’s Municipal Council, particularly the openness to carry out inspections across the 16 municipal police stations, including areas like San Antonio de los Buenos, which lacked basic amenities such as restrooms. These inspections revealed vulnerabilities and institutional neglect, issues that the committee aims to address. Flores Campbell also emphasized that public safety extends beyond police presence and equipment, highlighting the importance of urban infrastructure and maintenance.
Pointing to challenges such as unsynchronized traffic lights and inadequate public works, Flores Campbell noted how these issues affect broader safety and mobility concerns, particularly in areas around maquiladoras where women often work shifts. He stressed the need for improvements such as better lighting and secure pathways to ensure comprehensive security.
