Benito Juárez implements QR technology for security

The Benito Juárez borough in Mexico City is enhancing its ‘Blindar BJ360°’ security strategy by installing up to 8,000 QR codes across businesses, homes, and banks. Mayor Luis Mendoza stated that this technological evolution will allow authorities to supervise police patrols more effectively and improve communication channels with residents.

The initiative follows data from the National Survey of Urban Public Security (ENSU) by INEGI, which indicates that nine out of ten residents in the district feel safe, ranking it second in the nation for security perception. The goal is to maintain these conditions while providing more timely responses to incidents and strengthening community ties.
