Zero kidnappings in Yucatan
The fact that in a long period of time there has been not a single kidnapping in Yucatan is due to some of the strategies deployed at the state level, such as the installation of the Coordination Table for the Construction of Peace and the operation of the Multidisciplinary Group of Justice.
Similarly, the State Public Safety Council was installed and through Yucatán Seguro technological equipment was acquired to strengthen State security through video cameras, among other strategies.
