Security Services in Mexico

Mexico, Central America located below the United States, despite its high activity in tourism, is considered today to have 5 principal cities listed in the 50 most dangerous cities in the world as reported by Business Insider. With tourism being a major contributor to Mexico’s GDP, international travellers can still face dangers as in any other typical Latin American city.

Urban Crime in Mexico City

Mexico City D.F., even though it employs strict gun control law, often reports a high rate of armed robberies, assaults, kidnappings, and other common street crimes and often international travellers are targeted due to the perception of being wealthy.

Civil Unrest and Demonstrations

Another risk faced in Mexico City is civil unrest. Most demonstrations are intended to be peaceful; however can escalate into violence. Demonstrators frequently block city streets, major highways, or take control of government toll roads on major highways and may demand unofficial tolls from travellers. Recently, groups associated with teachers’ unions and those protesting recent alleged human rights violations in the state of Guerrero have used checkpoints as a way of raising money for their causes. Security services Mexico are often relied upon during protests, ensuring safe passage and minimising exposure to roadblocks or violent demonstrations.

Impact of Drug Trafficking and Corruption

An influential factor contributing to the high crime rate across Mexico today is its being the primary location for the smuggling of narcotics such as cocaine, marijuana and heroin between Latin America and the United States. This has also led to corruption within Mexico’s Federal Representative Republic. Security Services in Mexico are crucial for addressing these challenges, particularly in areas prone to drug trafficking and organised crime. This is why corporations increasingly adopt security services Mexico to safeguard both operations and personnel.

Relying on structured security services Mexico allows high-profile travellers and expatriates to reduce exposure to kidnap-related risks.

On Mexican roads and highways, criminal gangs have been known to erect unauthorised vehicular checkpoints and use government uniforms to stop passing road users in an attempt to commit robbery. Travelling between cities by road can present a high risk, as evident from the reported incident of nine members of a Mormon family murdered in November 2019 whilst travelling by road in the Northern Mexican state Sinoloa.
