Tulum, Quintana Roo — Tulum will invest in public safety infrastructure during the final four months of 2026, with plans to renovate police booths, expand Public Security Department offices and create a space for the canine unit.

Cristian Moguel, the municipality’s public works director, said three major projects are planned to improve working conditions for police officers and provide better service to residents.

The first initiative involves renovating police surveillance booths located at various points in the municipal seat. The department also plans to expand and upgrade its offices, and will prepare a dedicated office area for the canine unit.

“We are also going to work on expanding and upgrading the department’s offices to improve the facilities and provide better service,” Moguel said.

The canine unit space is part of broader efforts to strengthen the department’s operational capacity, Moguel added.

Public Security Secretary Edgar Aguilar Rico is closely following the development of these projects, Moguel said, because of the importance of having adequate spaces for the department’s different branches.

He added that the projects follow the instruction of Mayor Diego Castañón to improve public safety infrastructure in Tulum.
