Puebla security and technology integration initiatives

The government of Puebla has initiated several programs to integrate technology with public security and education. In October 2026, Governor Alejandro Armenta Mier announced a strategy for the Colegio de Bachilleres del Estado de Puebla (COBAEP) to connect campus surveillance cameras to the C5 monitoring center, install neighborhood alarms, and increase police patrols. This initiative also includes educational modernization through programs like ‘Universidades con Aulas Más Modernas y Mejor Equipadas’ and ‘Obra Comunitaria’ to support technological development.

Following these developments, Deputy Delfina Pozos Vergara proposed a new measure in November 2026 to extend this surveillance integration to the private sector. The proposal suggests that gas stations voluntarily connect their private video surveillance systems to the state C5i control center to combat robbery, extortion, and assault. The plan emphasizes voluntary participation, legal certainty regarding image use, and the implementation of emergency alert buttons to improve police response times.
