The Governor conducted a ceremony at Tulum in honor of the reopening of four archaeological sites: Tulum, Coba, Muyil and San Gervasio.
The Mayor gave his second Informe governmental report for the 2018-2021 administration.
VIDEO of a brief interview with the municipal Director General of Public Security, Captain Eduardo Fouilloux Battaler, who talks about working in coordination with the military/federal and state police, and working with the inhabitants. When asked how many officers there are and where they are located he said 170 officers with about 60% on the island.
The installation of 140 security cameras on the island is nearly complete. The municipal Director General of Public Security, Captain Eduardo Fouilloux Battaler, said there are only 20 cameras left to be installed, covering strategic points around the island, and then the program will enter the third stage. He said that the municipal Monitoring Center is currently in the second stage of the video surveillance camera & equipment program, with cameras located at 35 video surveillance points.
In addition, as part of the actions implemented by the government to regain the confidence of the citizenry in the police, the municipal police officers will bring a "lapel-camera" (body cam? "cámara de solapa") and cameras on patrols. He said that patrols will have GPS, in order to be informed about their work and thus determine whether they require more training or whether they deserve recognition.
He said that since the first video surveillance cameras were installed, the rates of offenders detained "in the act" have increased, equivalent to 60% of reported crimes to the local emergency number or to 911. They have also helped to determine responsibilities in traffic events and contribute to the clarification of up to 40 % of the accidents.
He acknowledged that so far the cameras have not detected anyone in the act of robbing a house or business, but two attempts have been frustrated, although in both cases the alleged perpetrators managed to escape.
He invited residents to report any suspicious incidents to the local emergency number, 998 999 0232 or 911.

Turtles continue nesting in September. They nest along the eastern beaches. Tortugranja staff and
volunteers gather the eggs and incubate them in the sand in a pen
outside the facility. Three species nest annually in Isla Mujeres, Greens, Loggerheads,
and Hawksbills.Swimming with the whale sharks may continue until the end of September. They congregate and feed on a 'buffet' of plankton and fish eggs from a type of tuna. Rays are also attracted to the feeding areas. Photo by Tony Garcia
