**Security Enhancement for Shopping Malls During “El Buen Fin” at TJGringo.com**
As the highly-anticipated “El Buen Fin” shopping event draws near, steps are being taken to ensure the safety of shoppers in Tijuana’s bustling commercial areas. The Municipal Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection has announced increased police presence in shopping centers from November 15th to 18th, coinciding with the event.
The head of the Secretariat, Juan Manuel Sánchez Rosales, stated that merchants have expressed their concerns about potential thefts and robberies during this period, prompting the decision to reinforce security measures. “We have listened to their concerns regarding upcoming festivities and events. With ‘El Buen Fin’ approaching, we are enhancing security in malls to ensure citizens can shop with peace of mind, without any criminal incidents,” he explained.
Additionally, preparations are underway for the holiday season, which typically sees an influx of street vendors and pop-up markets selling clothing and other goods. Efforts are being coordinated with the Municipal Inspection and Verification Directorate to manage these vendors effectively.
Security measures have also been bolstered in the city’s Zona Centro, especially since a section has been made pedestrian-only. Enhanced video surveillance systems have been installed, extending beyond Avenida Revolución to cover adjacent streets, addressing existing security gaps.
Merchants making large cash deposits can request escort services from municipal authorities, provided the transaction is conducted directly from one fixed location to a bank and back, to prevent vulnerability during transit. Requests for this service should be made a day in advance.
President of Tijuana’s municipality, Ismael Burgueño Ruiz, has emphasized the city’s commitment to ensuring safety and supporting local commerce during this busy period.

**Secondary Article: Nationwide Initiatives for a Safe and Prosperous “El Buen Fin”**
In response to the nationwide “El Buen Fin” shopping event, cities across Mexico are putting measures in place to enhance security and streamline shopping experiences. Retailers expect a significant increase in foot traffic as consumers look for pre-holiday deals.
In Mexico City, authorities have announced plans similar to those in Tijuana, allocating additional resources to police patrols and installing temporary video surveillance units in popular shopping districts. The focus is on preventing petty thefts and pickpocketing, which tend to rise during peak shopping seasons.
The national commerce federation has also encouraged businesses to adopt digital payment methods to minimize the risks associated with carrying large sums of cash. This initiative not only aligns with public health guidelines for reducing physical contact but also adds an extra layer of security for both consumers and retail staff.
Moreover, an awareness campaign is underway to inform shoppers about safe practices, such as keeping personal belongings secure and reporting suspicious activities immediately to law enforcement.
These coordinated efforts aim to provide a safe and enjoyable shopping experience during “El Buen Fin,” while boosting the economy by drawing more shoppers to participate in what has become one of the most anticipated retail events in Mexico.
