## Six Candidates Registered for Baja California’s Search Commissioner Role
Tijuana – Six individuals have registered to become the next head of the Baja California State Search Commission, according to Alfredo Álvarez Cárdenas, the state’s Secretary General of Government. The candidates will go through a series of interviews and evaluations, with the final shortlist expected to be presented in the first two weeks of October.
Álvarez Cárdenas stated, “As of the day before yesterday, we have six candidates. The evaluation process will include interviews across various fields such as forensic science and legal expertise.”
The surge in search collectives in Baja California reflects a rising trend in disappearances, making the role of the new commissioner critically significant.

In a related development, two bodies were discovered during the search for Erick Carrillo, who has been missing for five years. This alarming find underscores the urgency for effective leadership in the State Search Commission.
Further highlighting the need for transparency, the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) has been reluctant to release statistics on disappearances in Baja California. This lack of data hampers efforts to address the crisis adequately.
Meanwhile, recent conflicts within the Tijuana City Council, including a scuffle over a protest by retired officers, have delayed key decisions such as budget discussions. The city’s administration is exploring ways to hold absent council members accountable to ensure smoother governance.
Despite concerns over public safety, Baja California’s tourism numbers remain strong. According to Aguíñiga Rodríguez, the impact of violent events on tourism has been minimal, although ongoing incidents have the potential to alter tourists’ perceptions of safety in the region.
