Security initiatives in Oaxaca have transitioned from local coordination efforts to state-wide strategic reforms. Initially, the municipal president of Oaxaca de Juárez established the first Peace Construction Table to improve coordination between municipal, state, and federal agencies regarding public security and violence prevention.

Following this, Governor Salomón Jara Cruz escalated security measures by demanding measurable reductions in homicide and extortion rates. The state introduced the Binnizá Strategic Action Force, a 100-member specialized unit, supported by an investment of 1,290 million pesos for equipment and training. Additionally, Oaxaca has entered into a joint intelligence agreement with Puebla to secure border municipalities and highways, while the State Congress has begun constitutional reforms involving public consultations with indigenous and Afro-Mexican communities.
