Cuajimalpa has recorded the highest reduction in high-impact crimes in Mexico City for January 2026, showing a decrease of 42.1% compared to the previous year.
The Citizen Security Secretariat of Mexico City reported that Cuajimalpa is the borough that experienced the greatest reduction in high-impact crimes during January 2026, with a notable decrease of 42.1% compared to the same month in the previous year. Officials presented these statistics to the Head of Government, Clara Brugada, highlighting a significant drop in crimes such as vehicle theft, extortion, and robbery with violence on public transport in the jurisdiction governed by Carlos Orvañanos.
Ángel Tamariz Sánchez, head of the Public Innovation Agency, emphasized that high-impact crimes in Mexico City have reached their lowest figures in the last eleven years for a month of January. This trend reflects a broader declining trajectory in crime rates across the capital, contributing to a sense of improved safety among residents. The authorities attribute this decline to effective policing initiatives and community engagement strategies that have fostered collaboration between the police and local residents.
As part of this report, the authorities also referenced results from the National Urban Public Security Survey (ENSU), which indicates changing perceptions of safety among citizens. The ongoing efforts in Cuajimalpa serve as a model for other boroughs in Mexico City, potentially influencing policies aimed at further reducing crime and enhancing public safety.
