West Mexico City Municipalities Launch Coordinated Summer Security Operations

The joint patrols, drones and shared monitoring centers aim to deter home burglaries while residents travel this vacation season.

Overview

  • Local authorities in Huixquilucan, Cuajimalpa and Miguel Hidalgo activated coordinated summer security operations in mid‑July to step up policing in border neighborhoods.
  • The campaigns combine 24/7 patrols, motopatrullas, drones, fixed vigilance points and municipal command centers to provide continuous surveillance and rapid response.
  • Cuajimalpa pledged more than 15 officers, three patrol units, two motopatrullas and two drones while Miguel Hidalgo committed 24 officers, four patrol units and 15 fixed posts monitored from the Centro de Monitoreo de Duraznos.
  • Huixquilucan deployed its full security and emergency apparatus, including its public safety directorate, Protección Civil, SERO, firefighters and paramedics, and public reporting channels such as hotlines and the SayVU app remain active.
  • The operations are scheduled to run through August 31, and officials say the aim is to protect family property, keep a visible presence in shared quadrants and achieve a 'saldo blanco' during the vacation period.
