Mérida was positioned as the second safest city in all of the Americas and the 30th safest in the world, according to CEOWorld Magazine, which is the result of teamwork to strengthen security throughout Yucatan, maintaining the peace of all Yucatecan families.
The Yucatecan capital achieved a score of 92.74 out of a possible 100, becoming the second safest city on the continent, only behind Quebec, Canada.
In the report, the Yucatecan capital was ranked as the safest city in Mexico in this measurement, followed by Puerto Vallarta, Querétaro, Monterrey, San Miguel de Allende, Cancún, Puebla and Guadalajara.
The very positive results in terms of security are a consequence of the security policy led by the state government through actions and schemes such as Yucatán Seguro, with which the police are being provided with equipment, technology and strong training to go from 2,248 cameras at 6,775 and 100 road arches at 219.
As part of these efforts, the C5i was created, to which is added the modern Bell 429 helicopter, considered the best equipped of its type in all of Latin America, as well as fast boats on the coastal region.
In addition to this, the conditions of police officers have been strengthened with competitive salaries, schemes to access private medical care in case of work accidents and the possibility of obtaining a funding from the Institute of the National Workers’ Housing Fund (Infonavit) to acquire a house.
Also, scholarships for university are granted to the officers’ children for 100% of registration and tuition, with a bimonthly support of 1,600 pesos if they demonstrate their admission to any private or public institution, as well as the Circuit and the Citizen Heroes Card, with more of 1,000 establishments that offer discounts to members of the security forces and health personnel.
