Harfuch Pushes Strong State Police as Jalisco Reports 62% Drop in Homicides

He credits coordinated arrests of CJNG members for the decline.

Overview

  • The federal security chief promotes a model centered on 32 robust state commands instead of relying on numerous municipal forces, noting that most crimes are handled at the state level.
  • He links the decline to arrests of CJNG operatives in Jalisco and neighboring states such as Guanajuato, describing these detentions as a decisive factor.
  • He rejects claims of criminal displacement into Jalisco and says the CJNG could be shifting operations to other states, pointing to pressure in Sinaloa from groups based in Durango and elsewhere.
  • Targeted checks continue in Teuchitlán and across the Región Valles, where many verifications have been negative and several investigations remain in process.
  • He highlights tighter coordination with Governor Pablo Lemus and federal forces, adding that September recorded the country’s lowest homicide level in a decade.
