SALTILLO, COAHUILA — State and municipal authorities emphasized Coahuila’s position as a national leader in public safety during an educational conference presented to students and faculty, citing strong inter-agency coordination and community involvement as the foundation of their success.
The event focused on Coahuila’s security model, highlighting state data and recent metrics from the National Survey of Victimization and Perception of Public Safety (ENVIPE), which ranked Coahuila highest in public safety perception across Mexico. According to official figures, 71.5% of residents in Coahuila reported feeling safe, leading the country ahead of states like Yucatán.
The conference aimed to build trust among young people by detailing local crime prevention strategies and youth-focused safety networks. Officials emphasized that Coahuila stands as the safest state in Mexico, while its capital, Saltillo, maintains its ranking as the safest capital city nationwide.
During the session, state and local representatives explained that public safety requires continuous work rather than complacency. State Attorney General Federico Fernández Montañez noted that Coahuila’s coordinated security strategy allows students to pursue their education in a peaceful, orderly environment. He praised the ongoing collaboration between state law enforcement, the Senate, and Saltillo’s municipal government under Mayor Javier Díaz González.
Azucena Ramos Ramos, General Director of the College of Scientific and Technological Studies of the State of Coahuila (CECyTEC), emphasized that regional stability provides young people with direct access to better academic and professional opportunities. She also recognized Mayor Javier Díaz for his administration’s commitment to youth development and campus infrastructure upgrades, noting that municipal teams recently completed measurements for a new shaded roof structure previously promised to the school.
Officials concluded by encouraging students and teachers to join local civic security groups, reiterating that maintaining law and order requires continuous, active collaboration between citizens, educational institutions, and government agencies.
