Mayor Miguel Ángel Mancera Espinosa spoke at the inauguration of one of the 15 new Mexico City police stations, stating that these new facilities would allow officers to establish greater proximity with the population, with similar characteristics to certain police departments in New York City.
He stated that equipment will also be offered, as well as technology and better conditions to allow officials to carry out their work.
“This will allow to dignify the police, because they are sometimes looking for a place to go to the bathroom, and having to ask restaurants and stores. Here they will be able to use showers, they will have a locker.”
Mancera Espinosa detailed that the 15 stations installed in 9 boroughs have started working, with the plan being to install 70 citywide, in particular under bridges o deteriorated public areas, that will be rehabilitated and each of which will be allocated three million pesos (163 thousand dollars). He added that these spaces will be connected to C4 and C4 command centers, which allows to control, communicate, compute, integrate, inform and investigate. This will allow citizens to have full certainty of where patrol cars are and what they are doing.
The mayor predicted that this security system will be copied by other states as other local programs have been, some of which are even being used as campaign promises with different names.
Finally, it was informed that the police stations will work 24 hours a day, all year long, receiving reports from emergency numbers, the Secretariat’s contact unit and quadrant chiefs. Every station will be own telephone number and social media to be contacted.
