Michoacán Expands Security Footprint With New Barracks to Protect Autopista Siglo XXI and Port Routes

Officials say the expanded footprint will cut response times along Siglo XXI to protect freight.

Overview

  • State and federal authorities inaugurated a regional Guardia Civil cuartel in Arteaga opposite an existing National Guard post to reinforce the Siglo XXI corridor.
  • Three National Guard companies—483 in Aquila, 484 in Chinicuila and 485 in La Mira—were opened for the Sierra‑Costa region serving routes to Lázaro Cárdenas.
  • Michoacán now reports 50 barracks across the Guardia Nacional and the state Guardia Civil, alongside 11 regional Guardia Civil comandancias.
  • The Tarímbaro National Guard barracks, built with a 380‑million‑peso investment, extends federal coverage to 79 municipalities in a key central cluster.
  • Plans include highway internet service through the concessionaire, corridor cameras linked to the C5 control center, stronger División de Caminos patrols, coordination with Guerrero and a high‑impact public prosecutor focused on cargo‑vehicle theft.
