**”December Safety Operation Commences in Mexicali”**
The authorities in Mexicali have officially launched the “December Safety” operation, intended to boost security primarily in commercial areas, currency exchange locations, and nightlife venues. Luis Felipe Chan, the director of the Municipal Police of Baja California’s capital, revealed that although the formal announcement came on December 18th, the security measures had already been in motion since the beginning of the month.
Chan highlighted several successes, most notably the arrest of 17 individuals linked to violent thefts, collectively responsible for 54 past incidents of robbery. He further explained that the operation encompasses the establishment of assistance points: seven situated in urban areas and two in the valley, all of which have been actively operational during weekends since December started.
Mayor Norma Bustamante MartÃnez acknowledged the ongoing challenge of traffic accidents despite heightened checkpoint presences. She expressed hope that the “December Safety” initiative would help mitigate these issues, advocating for greater traffic awareness and the establishment of a dedicated mobility department in Mexicali as a pressing necessity.
The “December Safety” operation will continue until the end of the festive season, aiming to enhance public safety during the holidays.
