Monterrey reduces perception of insecurity to 52.1 percent and increases confidence in the Municipal Police

Monterrey reached its lowest historical level in perceived insecurity, marking a significant shift in citizen safety. This sustained reduction over four consecutive quarters demonstrates a tangible improvement in the quality of life for residents, notably diverging from the national trend and positioning the municipality as the one with the largest annual decrease in the state. The success is attributed to the strategic implementation of municipal protection measures, which has strengthened public trust in the police force. This increase in credibility reflects that citizens perceive concrete and effective actions by the authorities, fostering an environment where a sense of calm prevails over fear, thereby consolidating the legitimacy of the local police among the population. This case is relevant to open data because it demonstrates the value of official statistics as a tool for evaluating public policies and measuring their real impact. Transparency in accessing these indicators enables civil society and researchers to analyze government effectiveness, promoting accountability and facilitating evidence-based decisions to improve security in other regions of the country.
