**Tijuana’s Strategic Security Cabinet Approved**
Tijuana’s municipal government has unveiled a new Strategic Security and Citizen Protection Cabinet, aiming to bolster public safety and maintain peace within the city. Mayor Ismael Burgueño Ruiz introduced this initiative on Monday, emphasizing the administration’s commitment to addressing community safety challenges. This move has been well-received by Roberto Quijano Sosa, the president of the Baja California Public Safety Citizen Council (CCSPBC), who acknowledged the administration’s proactive approach.
The newly formed cabinet includes key figures such as Juan Manuel Sánchez Rosales, the Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection. The focus will be on crime prevention and enhancing the skills of the security personnel. Burgueño Ruiz has appointed Julián Leyzaola Pérez as an advisor for Tijuana’s security strategy. He highlighted the impact governmental transitions can have on the community and stressed the importance of strategic implementation.
There is anticipation for the integration of the municipal and state committees to facilitate better coordination, despite the current lack of legislative frameworks to guide such collaborations. Quijano Sosa pointed out the necessity of joint efforts not only at the municipal level but also involving federal and state entities.
