Mexico Activates 24/7 ANBI Command Centers as States Launch Local Search Hubs

Officials say the new hubs aim to speed multi-agency searches by sharing data, using surveillance, keeping operations continuous

Overview

  • Federal authorities presented the ANBI (Alerta Nacional de Búsqueda Inmediata) command center to families from the Tamaulipas colectivo De Frente Hasta Encontrarte and described it as a 24/7 operation to trigger immediate, coordinated searches.
  • State-level implementation moved forward when the Governor of the State of Mexico, Delfina Gómez, put a local Centro de Mando into operation to link state agencies with the national ANBI model.
  • Officials reported that coordinated actions under the national search strategy have located more than 16,000 people, a figure the government cites to show early results of the command-center approach.
  • The new centers will connect actors such as the Comisión Nacional de Búsqueda, CEAV, federal prosecutors, Guardia Nacional and state security forces and will use technological tools and the State of Mexico video-surveillance network for real-time monitoring and information exchange.
  • Families and colectivos pressed for concrete guarantees at recent regional mesas, including a formal investigation file and an individualized search plan for every case, and they continue to demand clearer, enforceable accountability for how agencies coordinate on individual searches.
