According to figures from the National Public Safety System, Puerto Vallarta registered in the first 5 months of the year a considerable drop in crimes of 27.1 percent, compared to the same period of 2018, which speaks of the fact that the security strategy implemented by the three levels of government, is giving good results for the benefit of citizens.

The above was announced at the end of the meeting of the State Security Council, which was headed in this city by the state governor, Enrique Alfaro Ramírez, and in which participated the mayor of Vallarta, Luis Alberto Michel Rodríguez, along with commanders of the Navy, the Army, the National Guard, the Prosecutor's Offices, among other authorities.

The state governor pointed out that the areas with the greatest drop were business robbery with 77.4 percent, robbery of persons with 59.7 percent, home robbery with 66.3 percent, femicides with 50 percent and intentional homicides with a drop of 25 percent.

"We can clearly say that the strategy that was designed to guarantee that Puerto Vallarta is a safe destination is working, that there is a very good communication with the municipal president, that we are working hand in hand with the federation, with the municipality to maintain this inertia of reduction of security indicators in the municipality, there is an agenda of hard work and we are adjusting some issues," said Alfaro Ramirez, which is reflected in the important tourist and economic activity that is registered today in the destination.
