### Local Business Sector Urges Increased Security for October
The commercial sector is calling for enhanced security measures as the new municipal government, led by President-elect Ismael Burgueño Ruiz, prepares to take office in Tijuana. The President of the Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Services (Canaco), Julián Palombo Saucedo, emphasized that businesses have high expectations for safety improvements with each new administration.
Palombo Saucedo pointed out that Halloween festivities at the end of October draw large crowds to the “Revu” on Avenida Revolución and surrounding nightlife spots. He expressed concerns over a potential rise in muggings and thefts during these celebrations due to the influx of people.
“We are closely monitoring this administration to address ongoing security issues in the Avenida Revolución and Zona Centro. We specifically request an increase in municipal security presence during the Halloween festivities,” stated Palombo Saucedo.
He elaborated that Halloween draws many cross-border visitors who gather in large numbers, making it a prime time for increased criminal activity. “The Anglo-Saxon holiday of Halloween brings many border residents to the city, converging on Avenida Revolución. This often leads to various security challenges, including assaults and theft in the crowded areas,” he explained.
Palombo Saucedo urged business owners in the area to maintain and possibly enhance their internal security measures to prevent criminal activities both within and outside their premises. He called for undercover security personnel to be deployed to better identify and deter any potential wrongdoers in these gatherings.
