Three years into Governor Tere Jiménez’s administration, Aguascalientes has solidified its position as one of Mexico’s safest states, thanks to the implementation of the Security and Justice Plan “Blindaje Aguascalientes.” This initiative, combined with effective coordination among all levels of government, has significantly bolstered security across the state.

Additionally, the dignity of police work has been promoted through educational scholarships for officers and their families, salary harmonization, housing programs, bonuses, and various support systems.
Technological advancements have also played a crucial role, with the C5i’s cutting-edge technology, five security doors in Asientos, Calvillo, Cosío, El Llano, and the exit to Mexico City, as well as aerial surveillance by Fuerza Uno helicopter, which has provided 571 prehospital services through the Grupo Aeromédico Táctico (GAMET) in emergency situations.
