Overview
- SESNSP data show a 21.8% reduction in recorded crimes from October 2024 to September 2025, equal to 1,014 fewer cases than the prior year.
- Quarterly declines accelerated throughout the year, culminating in a 41.6% drop during July to September after earlier decreases of 10.6%, 15.5% and 18.4%.
- Magdalena Contreras rose to third place in safety among the 16 CDMX alcaldías, and ENSU figures cited by officials indicate improved perceptions, moving from eighth to fifth.
- Authorities say the decrease spans crimes against life, family, society and property, attributing results to joint operations with SSC and Guardia Nacional, neighborhood policing and campaigns such as Policía Amigo and Transpórtate Segura.
- Security upgrades include linking the local C2 with the city C5 and plans for new cameras—130 via C5 plus 180 by the alcaldía—alongside regional patrol arrangements with Tlalpan and Álvaro Obregón and a stated goal to become the safest demarcation.
