The Mexican Navy (Marina) is set to assume control of public security in seven municipalities across Puebla, reinforcing ongoing efforts to enhance safety in the region. This change comes as part of the Navy’s institutional rotation process, which allows naval officers to continue their professional development and take on new responsibilities within the force.

The affected municipalities include Tepeaca, Chignahuapan, Teziutlán, Huejotzingo, Cuapiaxtla de Madero, Libres, and Tecali de Herrera. According to the State Secretariat of Public Security (SSP), this rotation will take place in the coming days, ensuring a smooth transition of naval personnel serving as municipal security secretaries and directors.

This move strengthens the collaboration between the State Government, the Navy, and local administrations, maintaining a consistent command model led by naval officers. The SSP highlights that this continuity is crucial for sustaining operational strategies aimed at protecting the safety and well-being of Puebla’s residents.

The State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with federal, state, and municipal institutions to build safer communities, enhance governance, and safeguard citizens’ lives and property.

For residents and observers, this development signals a sustained investment in professionalized security forces, which could complement broader social policies and infrastructure projects, such as Puebla’s cablebús system, designed to improve urban mobility and access to services.
