**Tijuana City Council to Vote on Security Chief and Delegates Next Monday**
The Tijuana City Council is scheduled to convene next Monday, October 7, 2024, to vote on the proposed candidates for the head of the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC) and the heads of nine delegations, according to Tijuana’s Mayor, Ismael Burgueño Ruiz.
“We are discussing the matter with council members, as the vote will take place in the council meeting. We need to respect this process, but by Monday, we expect to have a designated secretary,” stated Mayor Burgueño.
While the City Council deliberates on the appointment, current expectations suggest that Lieutenant Julián Leyzaola Pérez will be appointed as the new Secretary of Security for the 25th Tijuana City Council. Until then, Fernando Sánchez, who held the position in the previous administration, will manage the department temporarily.
Lieutenant Julián Leyzaola Pérez has successfully passed all required trust examinations, although he has not yet participated in security meetings as he awaits the council’s official appointment.
“Every secretary must meet all qualifications. It would be concerning to appoint someone who hasn’t passed the trust assessments. All the secretaries I propose meet these standards,” the mayor assured.
