Brugada Launches 'Código 1' Proximity Policing Strategy as August Posts Fewest CDMX Homicides in 29 Years

Jefa de Gobierno Clara Brugada launched 'Código 1, la policía en tu calle,' deploying 2,044 patrol units and 8,176 officers on foot-and-vehicle rounds across 1,022 redrawn police cuadrantes citywide; officers must walk each street, contact residents registered as 'enlaces de paz,' and log the visit in a logbook neighbors sign to verify the patrol occurred. Brugada paired the launch with the announcement that August 2026 closed as CDMX's lowest-homicide August in 29 years, citing the acquisition of 3,500 new patrol vehicles and a nearly 50% expansion of the city's camera network to 120,000 units.
