Cuauhtémoc Mayoralty Sees Reduced Insecurity Perception

The perception of insecurity has declined for the third consecutive quarter in the Cuauhtémoc mayoralty of Mexico City, according to the latest National Urban Public Security Survey (ENSU). The area, led by mayor Alessandra Rojo de la Vega, attributes this positive trend to its "Blindar Cuauhtémoc" security strategy. This initiative aims to bolster strategic police presence, reclaim public spaces, and prevent crime across all 33 neighborhoods.

Between December 2025 and June 2026, the percentage of residents reporting feeling insecure dropped by 6.7 percentage points, from 59.1% to 52.4%. Mayor Rojo de la Vega highlighted that these results reflect ongoing efforts within the "Blindar Cuauhtémoc" strategy. Key components include recovering public spaces, installing and repairing streetlights, and deploying strategic patrols in the 33 neighborhoods to deter activities that disrupt safety and community life.

As part of these efforts, 289 individuals were cited by the Civic Judge for reserving parking spots on public streets, and 26 people were cited for illegal dumping during the survey period. Permanent operations have also been conducted to prevent auto part theft, reclaim public spaces, and address resident complaints. Since the administration began, "Blindar Cuauhtémoc" has also enhanced coordination between the General Directorate of Citizen Security and the Auxiliary Police, increasing operational presence in streets, parks, commercial areas, and high-crime zones.

While ENSU indicates progress in perceived safety, the mayoralty stated it will continue strengthening community outreach, prevention measures, and public space recovery initiatives to meet the demands of residents in all 33 neighborhoods. The strategy aims to respond effectively to citizen needs and improve overall quality of life.
