Stepping Up Security: An Interview with olympic Boxer, Miguel “Zurdo” Reyes
The holiday season brings joy, celebration, and unfortunately, sometimes an increase in criminal activity. This year, the state of Morelos in Mexico is taking a proactive approach to ensure the safety and security of its citizens during this festive period and the upcoming municipal transitions. Joining me today is boxing legend and beloved hometown hero, Miguel “Zurdo” Reyes, to discuss these new security measures and what thay mean for the people of Morelos.
Welcome, Miguel!
Miguel “zurdo” Reyes: Thanks for having me. It’s great to be here.
Firstly, can you share your thoughts on the multi-phase security operation implemented by the Morelos state authorities?
Reyes: I think it’s fantastic. It shows that the government is taking the safety of its citizens seriously, especially during a time when there can be a spike in crime. It’s reassuring to know that there will be increased patrols and checkpoints,especially around popular events and gatherings.
The operation involves a collaborative effort between the Mexican Army, National Guard, and Morelos State Security forces. Do you see the value in this type of joint effort?
Reyes: Absolutely. Having different branches of law enforcement working together sends a strong message and allows for a more extensive approach to security. They can share intelligence, coordinate their efforts, and cover a wider area more effectively. This is notably important during periods of high activity and potential risk.
The first phase focused on establishing inspection points in strategic locations. Do you think this proactive approach is a good deterrent against crime?
Reyes: I definitely believe so. When people know that there is a strong security presence and that they are being watched, they are less likely to commit crimes. It makes potential criminals think twice before taking a chance.
The second phase intensifies security during the holiday season itself. How critically important is it to ensure the safety and well-being of people attending festive events?
Reyes: It’s crucial. The holidays are a time for families and communities to come together and celebrate. Everyone deserves to feel safe and enjoy these moments without worry. This heightened vigilance during events is essential to protect people and create a positive atmosphere for everyone.
the last phase coincides with the inauguration of new municipal administrations on January 1st. Transition periods can sometimes be vulnerable.What are your thoughts on the decision to maintain a strong security presence during this time?
reyes: It’s wise to be prepared. Transitions can be times of uncertainty, and it’s important to ensure that everything goes smoothly and peacefully. A visible security presence helps guarantee that the transitions are conducted without incident and allows the new administrations to begin their terms with stability.
