TIJUANA (El Linea Tijuana) - Through joint ventures and use of special elements the Policía Estatal Preventiva (PEP) (State preventive police) are stationed at specific locations in the five municipalities of Baja California. This is meant to stop criminals from taking advantage of the Easter holidays to commit crimes such as stealing from homes. A study of colonies within Tijuana where higher crime incidence occurs, led authorities to implement strengthened surveillance to provide security and confidence to citizens about their well-being without neglecting the fight against crimes of higher impact. The director of PEP, Oziel Arturo García Hernández, reported they already began surveillance patrols and preventive measures to detect any actions that could lead to criminal acts, and provide a timely response to situations of a delicate nature. “Operation Easter 2011 is already underway, with around 400 State agents divided into three shifts providing security to the bajacalifornianos, ensuring their safety while on holiday with their families. Monitoring will be permanent, 24 hours a day”, said Hernández García. He added that according to information collected by the various analyses carried out, they consistently detected 10 colonies within each municipality with the greatest criminal activity. Intensified police surveillance is now being conducted at these places to prevent all kinds of illicit acts such as thefts, drug sales and weapons possession among others. La Secretaría de Seguridad Pública de Baja California has stepped up citizen protection to keep them from becoming holiday victims of crime or road accidents.
