**Safety Precautions for Halloween in Tijuana: Secure Celebrations Planned**
As Halloween approaches, ensuring the safety of families in Tijuana is a top priority for the city administration. Under the leadership of Mayor Ismael Burgueño Ruiz, the Secretary of Citizen Security and Protection, Juan Manuel Sánchez Rosales, has ordered a special preventive operation to be executed during the Halloween festivities. This initiative aims to reduce risks and provide immediate responses to any potential incidents.
**Enhanced Surveillance**
On October 31st, between the afternoon and evening, patrol operations will be intensified both on land and by air, utilizing drones from the Center for Aerial Operations. These drones will be conducting preventive patrols to ensure constant surveillance in areas with high foot traffic. A designated task force will also be in place along Avenida Revolución, with officers ready to handle any situation that might threaten public safety.
**Safety Recommendations for Families**
To keep families safe during the Halloween celebrations, the city offers several recommendations:
– Children should be accompanied by an adult at all times and never left alone.
– Parents are advised to inspect candy to ensure that packaging is intact and secure.
– Discard any suspicious or damaged items.
– Ensure that children wear visible clothing to prevent loss in the crowd.
– Talk with children about staying safe and seeking help from patrolling officers if lost.
– Drivers are encouraged to avoid masks that obstruct vision and drive slowly in crowded areas.
– Pedestrians should stay on sidewalks and cross streets safely, rather than between vehicles.
– Avoid throwing objects at houses or vehicles to prevent accidents.
In the spirit of shared responsibility, residents are encouraged to report any suspicious or criminal activity via the emergency line 9-1-1 or use the Emergency Button for timely assistance.
**Secondary Update: Public Transport Adjustments and Day of the Dead Festival**
On October 31, there will be a notable reduction in public transportation services in Tijuana. The transport authority plans to ensure buses continue service until 9 PM, especially from the city center to the eastern areas.
Additionally, families in Tijuana can enjoy the Day of the Dead festival hosted by Cecut over the weekend. The festival promises a range of activities for all ages, making it a cultural highlight of the season.
Tijuana is committed to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for all residents as they partake in Halloween and Day of the Dead festivities.
