go to original March 13, 2014

In an unprecedented move in Puerto Vallarta, the Mayor, Ramón Guerrero Martínez, took delivery of 90 new units for the Commissioner of Preventive Police and Highways. These additional units will be added to the existing fleet to provide the city with more than a hundred patrols for added safety on the streets and to preserve the tranquility of the local families and more than one million tourists every year that visit our destination.

The fleet consists of 50 patrol trucks, 20 motorcycles, 10 units suitable for police patrols and 10 segways, which resulted in an investment of over 31 million pesos, with funds granted through the joint participation of the municipal government and the private sector.

The mayor said that security has been one of the topics receiving focused efforts as proven with work done to dignify the role of police elements, improved wages, ongoing training and equipment of the corporation.

The Mayor noted that today this is possible thanks to the partnership built with federal and state governments along with the private sector and society in general "to provide a world-class tourist city."  

Guerrero Martínez explained that the taxes generated by commercial establishments are allocated entirely to equipment safety corporations "because we strive for Puerto Vallarta to be known as the safest city in the country."

The Mayor called for all preventive police and highway officers to continue giving their best effort and strengthen the commitment they have to the safety of the citizens and tourists of Puerto Vallarta.
