Tamaulipas Registers Lowest Crime Incidence in Over a Decade, Ranks Among Top 10 States for Low Impact Offenses

Tamaulipas achieved its lowest crime rates in over a decade during July 2026, marking a significant milestone in public security. The state recorded the lowest number of intentional homicides since January 2015, placing it among the top 10 states with the least crime and below the national average.

According to Willy Zúñiga Castillo, executive secretary of the State Public Security System, these achievements reflect the sustained, coordinated work of institutions participating in the Peace Table, which is chaired daily by Governor Américo Villarreal Anaya. The data from the National Public Security System (SESNSP) also indicates that July saw the lowest incidence of vehicle theft and home burglaries in Tamaulipas since 2015.

"The sustained reduction in major crimes demonstrates that institutional coordination is generating concrete results and compels us to maintain and strengthen actions to continue improving security and tranquility for Tamaulipas families," Zúñiga Castillo stated. He further highlighted that Tamaulipas ranked seventh nationally for intentional homicides and was among the top five states with the lowest incidence of robbery of pedestrians. It also ranked within the top ten for extortion and vehicle theft.

Zúñiga Castillo emphasized that these results are part of a positive trend in security matters and reaffirm the commitment of institutions to maintain coordination and bolster actions focused on crime prevention and response in Tamaulipas. The ongoing efforts aim to ensure continued improvements in safety and peace for the state's residents.
