**Tijuana Appoints New Municipal Police Director**
The director of the Municipal Police in Tijuana, Juan Carlos Hernández, has been relieved of his duties. Mayor Ismael Burgueño Ruiz clarified that this change is not due to any misconduct but rather a strategic decision to bolster the city’s security framework. “Decisions are made to maintain balance and strengthen the security framework. This is not due to anything negative, rather it is to reinforce our efforts,” stated the mayor.
Hernández, who has been with the department since the start of Burgueño Ruiz’s administration, will transition to a different role within the same institution, although specific details of his new position have not been disclosed. The change seems to align with the incoming Secretary of Security, José Avilés Amezcua’s strategy, who took office on March 10th, as head of the Municipal Security and Citizen Protection Secretariat in Tijuana.
The mayor announced that the process to appoint a new head for the Municipal Police is ongoing. “Once everything is administratively ready, we will reveal the new structure. This involves what the current Secretary of Security is working on,” Burgueño added.

In related news, changes in leadership roles within security departments have become more common as cities strive to improve public safety. A few days ago, a significant shift occurred when the city of Ensenada appointed a new director for its Municipal Police, following an alleged increase in local crime incidents. The new appointee is expected to introduce enhanced monitoring strategies and community engagement initiatives to address local security challenges better. These efforts reflect broader national trends as municipal governments focus on modernizing their police forces and improving their response to crime and public safety concerns.
This approach aims to create a more proactive and responsive law enforcement body, capable of addressing the unique issues cities face in managing public safety efficiently.
