SanDiegoRed JUAREZ - The Secretariat of Municipal Public Safety (SSPM) of Ciudad Juárez recommended residents of the most violent city in Mexico use guard dogs to protect their homes from thieves when they go away this week on vacation. The SSPM, which has under his command, the Municipal police, said in a statement that during Holy week he will increase the presence of police officers on the streets of the city and they will carry out preventive measures to prevent robberies to homes or businesses. He also requested residents of Ciudad Juárez and the U.S. city of El Paso to take into account a number of recommendations if they go away soon on vacation, taking advantage of the Easter break. In addition to the classic tips to leave windows and doors locked, the SSPM requested residents manage in a discreet way to inform trusted neighbors they are going away. “A watchdog can be very useful to deter anyone trying to enter his property” was another recommendation. Ask a trustworthy person to check your house at least once a day, collect correspondence to prevent it from filling the mailbox, and other tasks. Do not leave a key under the mat or in the pot, "since by routinely thieves check such sites". He also suggested installing "lights with automatic sensors" at the entrance of a home. Finally, he points out, “it must be remembered that opportunity makes the thief, and to implement the previous recommendations can reduce the risk of becoming a victim of theft at home”. With 1.2 million inhabitants, Ciudad Juárez is the Mexican city most affected by the violence attributed to the war that fights against the drug cartels of Juarez and Sinaloa, and upon which they rely, the misdeeds of hundreds of gang members from this town and El Paso.
