Tijuana, Mexico.- The new Secretary of Public and Citizen Security of Tijuana, Juan Manuel Sánchez Rosales, assured this afternoon that he will begin with the simplest actions in the search for the professionalization of the Municipal Police, the proper handling of weapons, protocol for the use of the force and conducting patrols.
72 hours after rendering his protest, the former official of the National Research and Security Center (Cisen) stressed that it was too early to make a diagnosis, but he will begin with the most necessary tasks.
“The training will be for everyone, but we will begin with a first block between now and December, to have them ready for the end of the year days, in the use and handling of weapons, which we also have a problem in, in how they should use them.” “, he expressed in the morning conference of Morenoist Mayor Ismael Burgueño. In addition, he said, the use of force protocol must be reviewed with the agents.
“We also have it altered at many times, the idea is to communicate, through linkage campaigns with the citizen,” he highlighted.
Special emphasis will be placed on teaching gender violence and human rights, he assured. In the Tijuana Police, he commented, more young elements are required, with better tools and focused on prevention. The corporation has 2,300 elements, where at least 13 percent of the agents will enter the retirement process in the short term. For now they will focus on the skills of those already in the corporation. “We are going to carry out a purification of the structures, from the point of view of capabilities, each of the elements has its own strengths, interests for improvement and professional development, that is why we are making an assessment to put them where they are most useful,” he said. . “We have a rotation process that was already taking place, we will give it continuity, we will give young police officers an opportunity.” Until August, Tijuana had 1,262 violent homicides. Just on October 1, Burgueño swore in as Mayor of the city.
