Through the Directorate of Public Security and Municipal Transit, security and crime prevention actions were carried out, including school talks, workshops on gender violence and drug addiction, neighborhood meetings, and security committees. The aim was to promote police and social proximity, generating awareness among citizens of the importance of modifying behavior, ideologies, beliefs, and patterns that cause disorder and crime, strengthening social prevention of violence through actions that have an impact on reducing risk factors in the population, benefiting more than 19,250 inhabitants of the municipal territory of Atizapán de Zaragoza with these programs.
In addition, the municipal intelligence unit was developed, responsible for the timely and appropriate use of 1,104 pieces of equipment that integrate information, communication, and technology systems applied to Public Safety through computer equipment, video surveillance cameras, and GPS.
