Tijuana – In a concerted effort to strengthen the city’s response to addiction issues, the Mayor of Tijuana, Ismael Burgueño Ruiz, visited the Community for Therapeutic Rehabilitation and Social Reintegration of Addicts (COTRRSA) facilities for men. This initiative aims to evaluate the quality of care provided and improve municipal support programs.

During his visit, Mayor Burgueño emphasized the critical role of COTRRSA in addressing addiction problems, noting that the institution has separate communities dedicated to men, women, and adolescents. The adolescent program offers outpatient services for children and teenagers aged 9 to 17.

The mayor encouraged COTRRSA participants to continue their journey of personal growth and emotional stability, urging them to become role models for others facing similar challenges. “We will keep visiting regularly to maintain and enhance the services provided by COTRRSA communities,” he added, highlighting the importance of collaborative efforts to improve these crucial services.

While touring the facility, Mayor Burgueño visited various sections, including dormitories and therapy classrooms, to gain insight into the daily experiences of the community members.

As part of ongoing efforts to improve public safety, Tijuana’s local government plans to integrate GPS and security camera systems into municipal patrol vehicles. This initiative will extend the rental of patrol units, enhancing the city’s capabilities to monitor and respond to incidents more efficiently.

In other recent developments, the city plans to reintroduce body cameras for police officers and their vehicles. These enhancements aim to increase transparency and accountability within law enforcement.

Additionally, the city is exploring proposals for three new access points to the Santa Fe residential area. These proposed routes include Boulevard Banderas, Boulevard El Rosario, and another through Aztlán, catering to the community’s growing need for improved infrastructure.

Moreover, a growing conversation about the impact of automation on the local workforce is underway. The integration of robotics in industries could lead to higher wages for workers, according to the regional industry association Arhitac.

In parallel, the Baja California State Attorney’s Office faces challenges, such as a limited number of agents dedicated to investigating disappearances. Currently, only 15 agents are available, prompting discussions to expand the workforce and increase the budget.

Furthermore, the Natura neighborhood in Baja California has been identified as the area with the highest reports of domestic violence, with a significant majority of cases involving women, children, and minors as victims. Local authorities continue to address these urgent social issues with increased focus and resources.
