**Tijuana Establishes Municipal Committee to Prevent Violence**
In an effort to combat and reduce violence, Tijuana has established a Municipal Committee for the Prevention of Violence. This initiative was highlighted by Juan Manuel Sánchez Rosales, the Secretary of Municipal Public Safety and Citizen Protection. The committee aims to focus particularly on the challenges faced by children and adolescents in the city.
Sánchez Rosales emphasized that while there has been a historical focus on physical violence, contemporary understandings have broadened to include psychological, economic, social, and digital forms of violence. The new committee intends to address these multidimensional issues with a concentrated effort on the welfare of youths.
The administration, since its inception, has targeted reducing not only physical violence but also discrimination and other adverse conditions affecting children in Tijuana. Sánchez Rosales believes it crucial to collaborate with parents and educators, recognizing them as integral participants in the upbringing of children. “They share the responsibility of shaping young minds and correcting behavior collectively,” he explained.
María Luisa Munguía Ramírez, in charge of the Crime Prevention and Citizen Participation Program, announced this committee’s strategy to better connect with the city’s most vulnerable communities. By launching fieldwork initiatives in schools, parks, and sports centers, the committee seeks to provide direct services to areas frequently reporting family and gender-based violence.
This hands-on approach aims to deliver preventive programs directly to communities rather than requiring them to approach official entities.

Establishing the Committee for Violence Prevention marks a significant step forward for Tijuana’s municipal safety initiatives, but it is not the only strategic move in the region’s fight against crime and insecurity. According to recent sessions by the local government, several complementary plans have been announced, aimed at creating a more coordinated approach to public safety.
A renewed focus has been placed on addressing the staggering effects of human trafficking in the area. The Secretary of Security Public Citizen Protection and Municipal (SSPCM) acknowledged that these activities significantly affect the city’s overall safety landscape.
Moreover, there are efforts underway to ease the impact of administrative hurdles obstructing the importation of used vehicles. The local chamber of commerce is advocating for reductions in import taxes to facilitate smoother trade.
On education, efforts to resolve pending teacher salaries have led to promises of settlements by mid-November, aiming to return eight currently stalled institutions to standard operation.
Furthermore, a traffic initiative intends to enhance mobility through manually synced traffic lights along eight critical thoroughfares, expected to decrease travel times by up to 65%.
In health campaigns, the state aims to perform 390 vasectomies this November, reflecting increasing involvement of men aged 27 to 38 in taking permanent birth control measures.
These diverse initiatives collectively highlight Tijuana’s proactive stance in refining not only public safety measures but also addressing transportation, education, and healthcare to foster a more stable and secure community environment.
