Voluntary disarmament campaigns in Sinaloa

Overview

In August 2026, the municipality of Juan José Ríos in Sinaloa launched a voluntary disarmament campaign titled ‘Sí al Desarme, Sí a la Paz’ (Yes to Disarmament, Yes to Peace). The program, coordinated by the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA), municipal police, and local authorities, offered citizens up to 15,000 pesos for exchanging firearms and allowed children to trade toy weapons for board games and peace insignias.

By September 2026, the initiative expanded through the ‘Voluntary Disarmament 2026’ preventive program to include the municipalities of Culiacán and Sinaloa. This coordinated effort between the State Government, SEDENA, and local governments provides modules for the anonymous surrender of firearms, ammunition, and explosives to mitigate domestic violence and accidental or intentional deaths.
