**Román Cota Encourages Tecate Residents to Report Misconduct of Officials**
In a continuing effort to address public sector corruption, the Mayor of Tecate, Román Cota Muñoz, has urged residents to report any misuse of power or irregularities by municipal officials. The mayor emphasized the importance of citizens stepping forward with information on any inappropriate behavior they witness or are aware of.
As part of this anti-corruption initiative, every submitted complaint will undergo a thorough investigation led by Sarahí Osuna Arce, the Chief Prosecutor of Tecate’s XXV City Hall. To bolster community engagement, she plans to establish a new outreach module within the Directorate of Public Security in the coming days.
The Tecate municipality currently employs around 1,300 personnel, categorized into temporary, trusted, and permanent positions. To streamline the reporting process, a dedicated WhatsApp number (665-177-8072) has been launched for quick and efficient communication. Additionally, the existing hotline, 072, remains active for lodging complaints.
Concluding the fourth edition of his morning briefing this past Thursday at 10:00 a.m., Mayor Cota disclosed plans to seek increased federal assistance to tackle rising insecurity in Tecate, known for its picturesque charm as a “magical town.”
