Tijuana Expands Citizen Offices

Coming soon to Tijuana: Citizen assistance offices in all delegations for streamlined complaint handling and public service improvements, promoting accessibility and enhanced resident support.

## New Offices for Citizen Assistance to be Established in Tijuana’s Delegations

In a move aimed at bringing local government services closer to residents, new citizen assistance offices will be established in each of Tijuana’s nine municipal delegations. The initiative, led by Teresita Balderas Beltrán, the head of the Sindicatura Procuradora of Tijuana’s XXV Municipal Administration, seeks to facilitate the submission and resolution of citizen complaints without the need for residents to travel to the municipal palace.

Balderas Beltrán explained that the program is designed to “bring the Sindicatura and its services to each delegation,” ensuring that citizens can have their grievances addressed efficiently. This effort is part of a broader strategy to improve public service delivery throughout the city, with prepared staff ready to assist the public.

Initially, the program will focus on accepting complaints and denunciations from residents, ensuring a streamlined process for resolution. Balderas Beltrán emphasized that delegations are a focal point for public services, and this initiative will provide assurance that citizen complaints will be handled effectively.

Although the Sindicatura is currently transitioning between administrations, with a 45-day review period underway, Balderas Beltrán assured that once this phase is completed, the outcomes will be publicly shared.
