Overview
- Mayor Clara Brugada inaugurated the Centro de Atención Integral para la Búsqueda de Personas, billed as a single stop for reporting and coordinating searches.
- The repurposed former Semefo building in Colonia Doctores was rehabilitated with a 43 million‑peso investment and now houses interview rooms, family support areas, and a C5 mirror room.
- Authorities said 230 staff will work on site, including 100 from the city Search Commission, 50 from the SSC immediate-search group, and 80 from the specialized prosecutor’s office.
- Officials highlighted recent outputs, citing a DNA bank with over 500 profiles, more than 300 families located, 456 identifications, and 196 dignified returns, plus a planned temporary-reserve facility with 5,000 niches and 4,000 ossuaries.
- Families and search collectives welcomed the space but protested at the opening, alleging exclusion and insufficient trained personnel and urging concrete improvements in live searches across a caseload of more than 6,300 missing in the city.
