Overview
- Local and provincial officials report a sustained fall in injurious violent crime that they attribute to reinforced patrols and quicker emergency response.
- The city now operates an integrated videovigilance network of 1,277 cameras made up of 368 municipal units and 909 provincial Lince devices with 15 municipal plate-reader cameras.
- The Municipal Monitoring Center runs 24 hours a day with 24 operators and a permanent police officer to coordinate live interventions with the Comando Radioeléctrico and 911.
- Authorities say 14–17 police patrol vehicles circulate permanently, cutting 911-to-arrival times to under seven minutes, and patrol routes are set using call-data analysis under the M3 program.
- The center processes about 40 judicial image requests weekly with a 48-hour target, officials stress cameras are for prevention and evidence not automated fines, and they warn predatory crime and domestic violence still need focused prevention and citizen reporting.
