According to the recently appointed Commander Gerardo Serna Melchor, a new security plan is being developed to be implemented throughout the state.
He claims that the Secretary of National Defense has helped reduced violence and crime in Quintana Roo. In this sense, he said, a plan will be developed in collaboration with members of the state and municipal security services.
“We have instructions from the General Secretary of Defense to join the effort in the fight against insecurity, to join the security strategy for peace in Quintana Roo. The most important thing is to reduce the chain of homicides that are generated by the existence of drug dealing points to reduce violence in Quintana Roo,” he said.
Serna promised to eliminate these incidents and improve the security of Quintana Roo with the help of his experienced team.
“There is a lot of work to be done. We have a good team and we have to contribute to moving the issue forward,” he added.
