-Edgar González Zatarain recognizes that more federal forces are needed for Mazatlecos to resume their normal activities-
Mazatlán, Sinaloa.- Edgar González Zatarain, mayor of Mazatlán, declared that the arrival of elements of corporations such as the Mexican Army is positive; However, he recognizes that there is a need more security elements so that citizens are encouraged to go out and carry out their daily activities.
Although the port has seen an important economic recovery due to the arrival of tourists, thanks to the presence of federal forces, Mazatlecos still need to fully resume their daily lives. To this end, it would be beneficial to send more security elements for patrols in the city.
“I think there is a little more left, I am the same as the citizens, agree that we have to put a little more into it, reinforce it. Yes there is [seguridad] yes they can be seen [los elementos] but it doesn’t hurt to strengthen it, put a little more into it. It gives more security, it gives more peace of mind; “The citizen feels safer when going out to do their activities and it would be good if the federal authorities put them in there a little more,” said the mayor.

Likewise, he called on citizens to be encouraged to report criminal acts within the colonies. This, after shots were reported on Friday night in the Mazatlán I neighborhood, which were “fired into the air,” as confirmed.
Faced with this situation, González Zatarain declared that, although the population is increasingly encouraged to report, there are still those who prefer not to get involved. For this reason, he insisted that each report made will be attended to by the Ministry of Public Security.
“It is not difficult to prevent this just by filing a complaint. The corporations come immediately, they have a system to come very quickly. They are doing that part and I know it because I myself have sent a report and they come immediately. So, that part is good, that citizens report these types of things,” he said.
The mayor acknowledged that it is difficult to prevent certain events, since it is not known when and at what moment a person will detonate the weapon they are carrying. However, he stated that they are problems that, through the complaint, are known and that is where operations are focused to inhibit the shooting. He reiterated the need to have more security elements to guarantee the tranquility of the inhabitants.
