Crime rate trends in Saltillo and El Salvador
Overview
Reports indicate significant decreases in crime within Saltillo, Mexico, and El Salvador, though specific contexts differ.
In Saltillo, Coahuila, authorities reported a 46.07% decrease in total robberies between January 1 and October 18, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Mayor Javier Díaz González attributed this decline to coordinated efforts between municipal, state, and federal authorities. To maintain these results, the municipal government planned an investment of over 1.1 billion pesos for 2026 to fund police training, technology, and equipment.
In El Salvador, official statistics show a 98 percent reduction in homicides between 2019 and 2025. The government credits this decline to security measures such as the state of exception implemented in March 2022 and the Plan Control Territorial. While overall homicide rates have dropped significantly, local incidents persist, such as a fatal stone attack in Izalco on October 29.
