Overview

• The 51st Ordinary Session of the National Public Security Council approved agreements to fortify public security institutions and to boost the search for missing persons.
• Federal officials pressed states to implement the four-axis strategy, align local laws with recent national reforms, standardize protocols, and monitor the use of security funds.
• Sheinbaum announced a proposal for a constitutional reform to create a General Law against Extortion so prosecution proceeds from 089 reports without placing the burden on victims.
• Security results presented included a 25% national decline in intentional homicides over the first 11 months of the administration, about 30,700 arrests, roughly 240 tonnes of drugs seized, 15,500 firearms confiscated, and 1,356 meth labs dismantled.
• Data pointed to divergent state trends, with Tamaulipas reporting a 49.3% drop in homicides as Sheinbaum highlighted Sinaloa’s severe situation, including a report of an almost 270% homicide increase in a year-over-year period.
