The municipal administration of San Pedro Cholula, led by Mayor Tonantzin Fernández, has implemented several security and crime prevention initiatives. Initially, the municipality announced a 10.5 million peso investment in an urban videovigilance system, including 100 new cameras connected to a Command and Control Center. This investment, alongside the acquisition of new patrol vehicles and police professionalization, was reported to have contributed to significant decreases in crime, such as a 29.86% reduction in vehicle theft and a 16.67% decrease in intentional homicide. Building on these efforts, the government launched new measures specifically targeting extortion and ‘cobro de piso’ among local businesses. The Secretariat of Citizen Security is providing safety recommendations to merchants and has established multiple reporting channels, including anonymous emergency numbers, WhatsApp lines, and the Cyber Police. These local actions are being coordinated with Governor Alejandro Armenta to enhance institutional cooperation. Recent efforts have expanded to include social measures alongside security outreach. The municipal government continues to conduct outreach to businesses to prevent extortion by providing emergency contact information to merchants. Additionally, the administration has introduced the ‘Nutrición con Amor’ program, which distributes food aid to vulnerable citizens to address social gaps.
