Tactical Groups Are Added to the Streets and Beaches of Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta (PVDN) - As a component of the safety strategies initiated at the Citizen Security Police Station, members from the Tactical Operations Group (GOT) have been bolstering street patrols all over Puerto Vallarta.

Following directives from Commissioner Rigoberto Flores Parra and Mayor Luis Alberto Michel Rodríguez, these officers ensure a visible and protective presence in both the tourist sectors and shopping centers.

These policing initiatives are set to continue, featuring random patrols in varying sectors of the city. The primary aim is to lower crime and further enhance the safety of everyone who resides in or visits our vibrant and thriving beach destination.

These officers extend their duties beyond routine patrols. They are also equipped to handle a variety of emergencies, from road accidents and fires to dealing with aggressive individuals. Furthermore, they collaborate with other agencies through the inter-institutional security program.

Addressing the topic of tourist safety, tours are consistently conducted on the beach, ensuring the safety of both residents and the numerous tourists who flock to our municipality.

With a commitment to upholding human rights and utilizing their policing expertise, these officers patrol beneath city bridges, assisting individuals experiencing homelessness and mitigating any potential crime risks.

According to the mayor, the tactical group has led to a substantial decrease in crime, although crime numbers in Puerto Vallarta have increased, according to NGO Semaforo, which tracks crime around Mexico, drug dealing, car theft and business robberies, assault, and family violence all rose in April.
