Increased Police Presence at Fluvial Vallarta Park After Woman was Sexually Assaulted by Motorist

PUERTO VALLARTA (PVDN) – The Citizen Security and Municipal Road Commissioner has announced a strengthened surveillance system in the Fluvial Vallarta linear park in response to a recent safety incident, affirming its commitment to ensure the safety of visitors and locals.

The announcement follows a report from a local resident who disclosed that she was the target of an attempted sexual assault by a motorcyclist within the park’s premises. Upon receiving this information, officials immediately collected details of the suspect and initiated a search operation in the area, with swift action guided by police protocols.

Fluvial Vallarta Park, which hugs the banks of the Pitillal River from Francisco Villa Avenue to Francisco Medina Ascencio Avenue, witnesses a significant number of visitors every day. Consequently, the municipal authorities are maintaining round-the-clock patrols, both on motorized units and on foot, ensuring the comprehensive security of the expansive area.

Furthermore, the Citizen Security and Municipal Road Commissioner is collaborating with other municipal agencies, including Parks and Gardens and Public Lighting, to implement improvements that further enhance the safety of the park. Such measures demonstrate a robust response to any threats to public safety, and echo the commitment of the local government to the wellbeing of its citizens and visitors.

At the forefront of this safety initiative is the Citizen Security Commissioner, Rigoberto Flores Parra, who, following the directive of Mayor Luis Alberto Michel Rodríguez, reiterated the commitment to bolstering the security of everyone who inhabits and visits this popular tourist destination.

To ensure prompt action in the face of any safety incidents, the public is urged to immediately report to the emergency number, 911. Time is of the essence in emergency situations, and swift reporting can greatly aid the effectiveness of emergency services. This cooperation from the public will be crucial in maintaining a safe and secure environment in Fluvial Vallarta Park and the wider municipality.
