Quintana Roo is experiencing a critical shortage of police officers, with fewer than half the number recommended by the United Nations. This deficit is worsened by the state’s status as one of Mexico’s highest-risk territories, especially for women, highlighting severe failures in security governance. The article underscores the importance of open data by showing how official statistics, such as those from the INEGI census, reveal structural gaps in public safety. These datasets are crucial for holding institutions accountable and identifying systemic vulnerabilities that would otherwise remain hidden without transparent and standardized reporting. Moreover, it demonstrates how open data exposes discrepancies between staffing needs and available resources. By making these metrics public, citizens can demand more effective allocation of funds and personnel, transforming raw data into actionable insights to enhance safety and protect vulnerable populations.
