Surveillance expansion in Tulum

Overview

In Tulum, the municipal government has significantly expanded its surveillance infrastructure, increasing the number of active security cameras from 400 to over 1,850 units.

This expansion was supported by local businesses, which are now required to install surveillance systems as a condition of their operating licenses. These private systems are integrated into the municipal command and control center (C2). Mayor Diego Castañón Trejo stated that this increased surveillance has contributed to a reduction in homicide rates by as much as 80 percent, attributing the results to coordination between security institutions and citizen participation.
