**Successful Halloween Operation in Tijuana**
The city of Tijuana reported a peaceful and orderly celebration of Halloween on October 31st, thanks to a well-implemented operation by the municipal government. The operation saw the deployment of 456 police officers, 98 patrol units, and 36 motorcycle transit units focused on key areas such as Avenida Revolución, Zona Río, shopping centers, and major roads.
To further ensure safety, various sobriety checkpoints were established throughout the city. The operation also included the support of 13 Civil Protection officers, 23 firefighters, and 16 medical emergency technicians, all concentrated in high-traffic areas.
Innovative measures included the use of a drone, an alternate operations post to support the Mobile Command Center, monitoring via C2 cameras by the Emergency Operations Center, and on-foot patrols. This coordinated effort between the local government’s Security and Citizen Protection department and the community helped maintain a peaceful environment throughout the festivities.
