The perception of insecurity in Tlalpan, Mexico City, has significantly decreased, dropping by 8.2% in the second quarter of 2026. According to the latest National Urban Security Public Survey (ENSU) released by INEGI, the percentage of residents perceiving insecurity fell from 57.9% in March to 49.7% by June.
This reduction places Tlalpan among the districts in Mexico City with the lowest perception of insecurity, marking a notable improvement in citizen perception of safety conditions. The alcaldรญa (mayoral office) stated that these results align with the security strategy implemented by the current administration.
Mayor Gabriela Osorio highlighted that the strategy is built upon consistent coordination among federal, state, and local government levels. A key component is the daily Mesa para la Construcciรณn de la Paz y Seguridad (Table for Peace and Security Building), which convenes representatives from the Citizen Security Secretariat, the Attorney General's Office of Mexico City, the National Guard, the Secretariat of National Defense, and the Tlalpan administration.
Since the beginning of the administration, 132 sessions of this security cabinet have been held. Furthermore, the local government has bolstered its security fleet, increasing the number of patrol vehicles from six to 53, including cars, motorcycles, and ATVs, to enhance public safety efforts.
The ENSU results reflect that the Tlalpan alcaldรญa is among the demarcations of Mexico City with the lowest perception of insecurity, which represents an advance in citizen perception of security conditions in the demarcation during the second quarter of 2026.
