Tamaulipas reports drop in high‑impact crimes as authorities boost security and social reconstruction

Jesús Eduardo Govea Orozco, head of the Tamaulipas state prosecutor’s office, said recent data show a marked decline in high‑impact crimes and extortion. He attributed the trend to coordinated actions by state and federal forces, a revised prosecution strategy and improved intelligence work. "Tamaulipas registers a reduction in the indices of high‑impact crimes. Our commitment is to consolidate this trend to guarantee a safe environment," he said.

Mayor Eduardo Gattás Báez reaffirmed his support for the state’s peace and security agenda, pledging coordination with Governor Américo Villarreal Anaya and federal officials. He presented a "Diagnostic of Human Security" and backed the national peace‑building project promoted by President Claudia Sheinbaum, aiming to rebuild the social fabric across the 43 municipalities of the state.
