Jalisco Homicides Down 62% as Harfuch Urges Stronger State Police

García Harfuch cites interagency coordination—illustrated by arrests of CJNG figures—as the driver of the drop.

Overview

  • Officials say September marked the lowest national homicide level in ten years, reflecting a 32% year-over-year decline.
  • García Harfuch attributes the gains to coordinated work by the Army, Navy, National Guard, intelligence services and local authorities.
  • Detentions of Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación members are described as pivotal in reducing killings in Jalisco and in neighboring Guanajuato.
  • Authorities report ongoing checks and operations in Teuchitlán, including follow-up on the Rancho Izaguirre and De la Vega cases in the Valles region.
  • Security leaders say they have not detected criminal displacement into Jalisco, pointing instead to activity involving states such as Sinaloa, Durango and Zacatecas.
