Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – The Tactical Operations Group (GOT) of the Citizen Security Police Station in Puerto Vallarta has heightened its prevention efforts in preparation for this holiday season and the new year. With a focus on ensuring the safety and security of both residents and tourists, the GOT has deployed two mobile units and a motorcycle to conduct patrols in various sectors of the municipality.
The intensified patrols encompass key thoroughfares, including Francisco Medina Ascencio, Francisco Villa, Los Tules, México Avenue, Prisciliano Sánchez, as well as the central area, which includes Morelos and Juárez streets. These areas experience a significant influx of people during the December holiday period.
In addition to increased surveillance and police presence, the officers are also actively responding to relevant reports, ensuring immediate action in case of emergencies.
One incident during the recent patrols occurred at 9:50 p.m. when officers encountered a couple engaged in a dispute on Exiquio Corona and Lázaro Cárdenas streets. The officers promptly intervened, offering appropriate guidance to resolve the situation and maintain order.
Later, at 11:15 p.m., the police conducted a search operation in the Las Glorias hotel zone for a white Neon-type Dodge vehicle that had been reported as suspicious. The vehicle was successfully located, and its serial number and plates were checked, yielding no cause for concern.
Under the directives of Commissioner Rigoberto Flores Parra of Citizen Security and Deputy Director of Operations Carlos Humberto Arce Villaseñor, the GOT members are committed to reinforcing security in areas with the highest concentration of people. This includes popular destinations such as the El Pitillal delegation and the downtown area, frequented by both residents and tourists.
Importantly, the police force has not neglected security in other neighborhoods and colonies across the municipality. To this end, officers have initiated prevention and deterrence patrols in neighborhoods within different delegations, including Las Palmas, Ixtapa, Las Mojoneras, and El Pitillal, among others. These patrols aim to ensure the safety and well-being of residents throughout the municipality.
In accordance with the municipal government’s mandate, citizens are encouraged to make use of the open-door Citizen Security Police Station and report any concerns or incidents. The culture of reporting is considered crucial in maintaining the security and peace that all residents and visitors to Puerto Vallarta deserve.
As the holiday season approaches, the GOT’s proactive efforts underscore the commitment of the Puerto Vallarta authorities to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone during this festive period.
