Tulum Enforces Mandatory CCTV Connection for Businesses with Exciting Security Results

Tulum businesses with video surveillance cameras will now be required to connect to the Control and Command Center (C2). This is a compulsory requirement for obtaining or renewing their operating licenses. This decision was announced during a meeting organized by the Network of Citizen Security and Justice Tables. The meeting was chaired by James Tobin, the state coordinator of the citizen tables in Quintana Roo. Tobin emphasized the collaborative nature of this model, which aims to enhance security measures.

During the meeting, it was confirmed that there would be no changes to commercial operating hours. Security checks will remain in place, and the recruitment of new police officers will continue to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding city. Castañón Trejo stressed that compliance with video surveillance systems is mandatory for businesses to operate. He stated, “Businesses must cooperate with the authorities. This is part of building a safer and more orderly city.” The meeting concluded with agreements aimed at strengthening security through a preventative approach and citizen involvement. The National Guard, Army, Navy, State Prosecutor's Office, and Public Security Secretariat were present as institutional support.
