At the last plenary session of the Torreón Security and Justice Board, Governor Manolo Jiménez Salinas highlighted the effective cooperation between civil society, various government institutions and the armed forces, which ranked Coahuila as the third safest state in Mexico. This claim is based on the National Survey on Victimization and Public Safety Perceptions (ENVIPE) conducted by INEGI.
According to ENVIPE, Coahuila is the safest state in the north of the country, and third nationally, behind only Baja California Sur and Yucatan.
In addition, he highlights that the perception of safety in the state has increased significantly, the number of the population feeling safe has increased by 6.3 percentage points, from 53.7% in 2023 to 60% in 2024.
“The message here is very clear: in Coahuila, the institutions rule, and fortunately we are all together and aligned on the same path, which is to preserve the armor of our state,” said Jiménez Salinas.
In an earlier meeting with General Alberto Ibarra Flores, commander of the 11th Military District, the governor agreed to strengthen security through coordinated operations in all regions.
In addition, this year the government invested heavily in new patrols, barracks for the State Police and the Army, security arcs and equipment for the security forces to ensure peace in Coahuila.
“It is very important that we continue to close ranks, and I would like to make it clear that they count on us one hundred percent to further strengthen the security of our state,” he said.
