Mexico Opens 24/7 Command Center to Coordinate Missing‑Person Alerts

The goal is faster activation of federal and state search resources plus expanded accompaniment for families.

Overview

  • Rosa Icela Rodríguez, head of SEGOB, and Omar García Harfuch, head of SSPC, visited the ANBI Centro de Mando to publicly showcase the new command operation.
  • Officials say the center runs around the clock and brings together federal bodies such as the Comisión Nacional de Búsqueda, Guardia Nacional and the FGR with state authorities to activate searches immediately.
  • The government reported that 50% of people flagged through the ANBI are located within the first 24 hours, a figure presented by officials but not independently verified in the coverage.
  • Authorities pledged continued investment in coordination tools, technology and institutional capacity so search teams can act faster and provide on‑site support to families.
  • The ANBI builds on existing institutions created to address disappearances and could change how fast searches begin and how families are accompanied, with independent reviews and state cooperation likely to determine its long‑term impact.
