Safety Corridor Proposed


From the November 15th issue of the Gringo Gazette:

Rosarito-Ensenada Safety Route Proposed Again.

Armed commandos of 60 to 80 people operate between Ensenada and Rosarito without police being able to stop them. Many incidents have occurred on the outskirts of Rosarito and in the La Mision area, but official statistics are unavailable. This situation has led newly elected Mayor Hugo Torres to propose a Safety Route for tourists traveling to and from both cities. This same proposal was made with much fanfare last year, but it never materialized.

The route would be designed to protect incoming tourists traveling to different points in Baja, from San Ysidro to Ensenada and Rosarito. A Metropolitan police force would be created which would have faculties to operate anywhere in the corridor.

Rosarito has 140 police officers that could be supplied to operate in association with agents from other municipalities, but 250 agents would be needed. The mayors of Tijuana and Ensenada agree with Torres proposal.

The problem is that local elected officials are probably not really in a position to solve the problem, because most of the violence is perpetrated by drug dealers, who are out of anyones control.
