Governor Alejandro Armenta’s Commitment to Peace and Security
CIUDAD DE PUEBLA, Pue. – 283 days into his administration, Governor Alejandro Armenta reaffirms his commitment to peace and security in Puebla by strengthening the neighborhood alarm program. This initiative has already installed 417 cameras and panic buttons in various colonias of the state capital and its periphery.
Integrated Strategy for Crime Prevention
The policy aims to prevent crime without exposing citizens, equipping them with technological tools connected to the C5i.

Additionally, it enjoys support from business organizations like Coparmex and the Coordinating Business Council.
Success Stories from Collaborative Efforts
Norma Ávila López, a resident of Exhacienda de Chapulco, praised the benefits of working together with the Security Secretariat. Her colonia became the first in the municipality to achieve this connection, with 10 cameras linked to the DERI and experiencing zero crimes, only minor civil offenses.
Ana Lilia López Hilerio from Colonia Maravillas echoed similar sentiments, highlighting increased community participation and active denunciation channels through the neighborhood alarm program.
Technological Advancements in Crime Prevention
The Secretary of Public Security, Vice Admiral Francisco Sánchez, reported that 168 fraction cameras have been linked to the state’s video surveillance system.
