As of this Monday, January 16, Infantry Commander and Navy Paratrooper Wloy Girón Alcuria relinquished control of the Puerto Vallarta police station.
In his place, civil servant Rigoberto Flores Parra, who had already held the position during the administration of former mayor Jorge Antonio Quintero Alvarado, took over the control of the police in Puerto Vallarta, effectively ending the militarization of local police units.
The relief was confirmed by Mayor Luis Alberto Michel Rodríguez, who also confirmed the arrival of Flores Parra.
Giron Alcudia arrived at the Puerto Vallarta police station last June 2022 after the departure of military officer Luis Fernando Muñoz Ortega, who left office, supposedly for health reasons, but left as head of bodyguards for former Chief of Staff Salvador Llamas Urbina, killed in a shootout in 2022.
This is the second change of leadership that the Vallarta police station has undergone in the present administration.
Along with Girón Alcuria, the Mexican Navy would stop patrolling jointly in Puerto Vallarta, confirmed Mayor Michel Rodríguez.
