Mexican authorities are implementing structural changes to address the issue of missing persons in various states.

In Morelos, the state has established the State Command Center for the National Immediate Search Alert (CEMANBI). This 24 hour operation is designed to improve coordination between federal, state, and municipal authorities, including the State Attorney General's Office and the National Guard, to accelerate search efforts.

In Veracruz, the State Attorney General's Office appointed Denise Moreno Córdova to lead the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for the Attention of Missing Persons Reports. This appointment follows pressure from search collectives and families seeking justice for disappearances in the state. The Prosecutor's Office stated it aims to maintain dialogue with families and operate under human rights principles.
