Police seeking good community relations
LA POLICÍA BUSCA LA PROXIMIDAD SOCIAL CON LOS ISLEÑOS
Training continues for the municipal police, and an event was held called “Proximidad Social” on Wednestday, near the API dock and Maritime Terminal. Events like these and training are part of the New Criminal Justice System recently implemented in Mexico. The aim is to involve people and police, working together, as well as seeking to promote an awareness about the need to file complaints for any crimes. Filing complaints is encouraged, with the use of brochures, leaflets, and other advertising methods, and motorcyclists are encouraged to wear helmets and not to drive while intoxicated.
In addition to the activities by the Ultramar pier or Maritime Terminal, these activities took place at various chools and public parks and squares, in an effort to create good community relations. This exercise involved nearly all the officers of the Police force and Traffic Safety, to remind the general public that police are human beings like any citizen and they are a friend to society and the family, who require support and assistance. These activities will be held on the mainland part of the municipality on Thursday.
