The work of the Secretary of Security and Peace has an impact in April, the month with the lowest intentional homicides rate in the last five years
Guanajuato/Gto News
During April, the Secretary of Security and Peace carried out 566,524 seizures thanks to the security strategy of the Operational Coordination of the New Anti-Crime Intelligence Force (CONFIA) that has reinforced security in the State with joint strategic operations with the Secretary of National Defense (SEDENA), the National Guard, the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic (FGR), the Ministry of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC) of the Federal Government, the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE), municipal police and the National Intelligence Center.
These results contributed to April becoming the month with the lowest rate of intentional homicides in the last five years. There were 181, the lowest absolute monthly figure according to preliminary data from the National Security Office. Furthermore, the daily monthly average of intentional homicides is 6.03, also the lowest in the last five years.
Considering the daily monthly homicide average for September 2024 and comparing it with the daily monthly average as of April 30, 2025, there is a decrease of 35.9 percent.
In collaboration with State and Federal law enforcement institutions, nine arrest warrants issued by judges for individuals linked to criminal proceedings were executed, as well as 50 ministerial orders, executed by order of the Public Prosecutor’s Office during the investigation phases. In addition, 278 arrests were made as a result of arrests in flagrante delicto or compliance with legal mandates. In total, 200 people were arrested for their probable involvement in criminal acts.
The Anti-Extortion Squad responded to 424 citizen reports through various channels, including the specialized number 800 TE CUIDO (800 832 8436). Only one of these cases resulted in a virtual kidnapping attempt. The comprehensive and timely response prevented a loss of approximately 2 million pesos for citizens.
Since its creation, the Anti-Extortion Squad has prevented criminals from obtaining more than 23 million pesos, which would have directly affected families, businesses, and individuals who were victims of fraudulent calls or extortion attempts.
In this comprehensive effort, the Undersecretary for Prevention has been key to strengthening the social fabric on a daily basis: it carried out 850 preventive activities, with the participation of 87,000 people in cultural, sports, educational, consultation, and civic engagement activities.
These activities not only bring institutions closer to the community, but also build peaceful environments, generate trust, promote opportunities, and prevent children, youth, and families from being captured by violent environments.
Security advances when institutions are strengthened, when police work is professionalized, and when actions are taken with intelligence, prevention, and coordination. This vision is the cornerstone of the comprehensive strategy promoted since the beginning of the current administration, which included strengthening the State Public Security Forces (FSPE), creating the Undersecretary of Operational Intelligence, the State Intelligence Center, and a new operational regionalization model, among other actions that have laid the foundation for a new era in public security.
The Secretary appreciates the participation of citizens, who, through their calls to 089, provide key information for locating people, securing property, containing crimes, and protecting lives.
