Ensenada municipal security and civic initiatives

Overview

In September 2026, Ensenada Mayor Claudia Agatón Muñiz implemented a multi-faceted approach to public safety. The administration began by swearing in 120 Peace and Civic Justice Committees, which were intended to act as a “direct link between residents and the municipal government” to identify community needs and facilitate local conflict mediation.

Following these community-focused initiatives, the municipality reported a decrease in crime throughout 2026. This trend was attributed to significant increases in security investment and inter-institutional coordination. Specifically, equipment investment rose by 50 percent compared to 2025, including the acquisition of semi-automatic rifles, ammunition, patrol vehicles, motorcycles, and body cameras. The city also upgraded its technological capabilities with digital portable radios and invested in the rehabilitation of K-9 unit infrastructure.
