“Investments in technology, modernization of our equipment, and the expansion of intelligence units have been fundamental to the success of our operations. I thank each of the agents, police officers, and professionals who dedicate themselves daily to ensuring the safety of everyone. We will continue to invest in training, intelligence, and integration so that we can achieve even better results. Together, we are building a safer and fairer state for all citizens,” Ualame stated.
May also has good results and is the second best month in the historical line

“This title indicates that the security strategies implemented were particularly effective during this period, resulting in a significant reduction in violence compared to other months of May. It also reinforces how May 2025 was a highlight period in crime reduction, surpassed only by a single month in the entire historical series.
