Baja California will be the most benefitted state in northern Mexico, after it was determined that it will receive 334 million pesos in 2023. This was revealed by Governor Marina del Pilar, who was part of the signing of the Collaboration Agreement of the Public Security Contribution Fund (FASP).

The signing of this agreement was led by the head of the Secretariat of Citizen Security and Protection (SSPC), Rosa Icela Rodríguez Velázquez, the Secretary of the Interior, Adán Augusto López Hernández, the Executive Secretary of the National System of Public Security, Governor Marina del Pilar, and nine other governors from northern Mexico.

Rodríguez Velázquez highlighted that with the FASP contribution, the Federal Government reaffirms its commitment and coordination that it has with states regarding public security matters. This is why FASP resources were increased by 10% nationally, which represents around 860 million pesos more to strengthen state government activities.

This money will be allocated to social prevention of violence and crime public policies with citizen participation, the development, professionalization, and certification of police officers, infrastructure and support equipment for police operations, among other tasks to strengthen prevention and security actions.

For his part, the Secretary of the Interior, Adan Augusto Hernández, pointed out that these government actions, led by Andres Manuel López Obrador, reaffirms his commitment with the states in order to guarantee people’s security.
