Municipality reports big advances in Public Security

COMUNA
Registra el municipio grandes avances en Seguridad Publica.0 08 de septiembre de 2014
Councilman in charge of Public Security and Transit (police) on the City Council of Isla Mujeres, Adrian Fuentes Cruz, conducted an interview for the program "Y los Jóvenes Qué?", (And the Youths: What?). He acknowledged that the local government has many shortcomings, but said there has been significant progress on several issues, including public safety. He said thanks to financial support and applied strategies, it has been possible to train members of the police force in English and strategies to deal with the public. They have also been provided with new uniforms and equipment.Thanks to the Governors support, the police department has received a pick up truck and motorcycles for patrols, and can now cover 80% of the territory of the Continental Zone and the island.
The twenty-nine year old Councilman noted that his work means he is an employee of the people, and therefore must attend to the issues that the citizens entrusted to him. He said, "I am a person who is close to the people. I still go to the market on my little motorcycle to buy things for my mother to cook, among other things."
