Chapala Welcomes New Police Chief

rafael-cervantes-policeOur new Police Chief in Chapala seems to be proving out well.

“Chapala Public Security Director Rafael Cervantes Aldana counts on ample law enforcement experience to head up an ambitious plan for revamping operations of the municipal police department…

Under the mayor’s specific instructions, the new chief says he is prepared to work closely with the foreign community while focusing on building up a modern and tourist-friendly police agency.

Cervantes reports that Chapala public security is currently operating with a staff of 120 officers and a fleet of 13 working patrol vehicles…[with plans] to launch a closed circuit monitoring system with 10 security cameras placed in central Chapala.”

I like the more visible presence of the police we’ve noticed since he took over. I particularly like the police officers stationed at key intersections throughout the Chapala area (“keeping watch at five strategic entry and exit points to the community”) which will allow the police to prevent the escape of the bad guys as they attempt to flee.

One of these check points is just outside the North gate of Chapala Haciendas where I live. So, if a hot call comes out in my neighborhood, we should have an officer at the scene in quick order!

No comments so far.

Got something to say?
