Yucatan: Mauricio Vila delivers 51 patrols in 27 municipalities

Jueves 20 de Abril de 2023

To continue strengthening security work in Yucatan, Governor Mauricio Vila Dosal delivered 51 police vehicles to 27 municipalities in the interior of the state, which already totals one thousand 296 units granted during the current administration.

Vila Dosal put at the service of the municipalities 30 pick-up trucks equipped with turrets, electronic sirens, exterior cameras, horn, roll bar and tumbaburros; as well as 21 motorcycles with siren and horn, equipment that adds to those delivered last January and where resources exceeding 30 million pesos were invested.

Highlighting that when there is a police presence, the commission of crimes is inhibited, Vila Dosal recalled that so far in his administration almost one thousand 300 vehicles have been delivered to the Ministry of Public Security (SSP) and the municipalities, in addition to transfer ambulances and fire trucks; And for this year 200 more patrol cars will be delivered to the police corporation.

Vila Dosal called on mayors to take care of and make good use of the new units, since it is the responsibility of the municipalities to preserve the safety of their inhabitants, meanwhile, the state police is to support them and assist them in cases that may exceed them.

Before elements of the Armed Forces and state and municipal police, he recalled that, today, the Yucatan police is the only one in the entire country that provides its elements with a salary above the national average, which this year increased by 10 percent; access to health services; Infonavit so that they can take out a home like any other worker; In addition, it offers scholarships of 100 percent enrollment and tuition to children of police officers who take the exam at any university in the state, whether public or private. It also supports students with 2,600 pesos bimonthly for their food and transportation expenses.

"Why do we do this? Because we want our elements to know that if they are honest and do their job, they will have the basic needs of their family solved and that they can see in their police career a way to grow family in the medium and long term because we are not interested in having police officers who last us a year or a year and a half,  We are interested in having police officers who last us 20, 30 years and who see that they can have good conditions in the Police," he said.

Vila Dosal recalled that, in 2018, when he began his administration, the budget of the Ministry of Public Security was one thousand 982 million pesos, which in four years has had an increase of 72 percent, going to 3 thousand 400 million pesos, additional to the Yucatan program that contemplated the acquisition of cameras to go from 2 thousand 200 to 7 thousand; the new Control, Command, Communications, Computing, Coordination and Intelligence Center (C5i), the boats and the helicopter for rescue work.

The head of the SSP, Luis Felipe Saidén Ojeda explained that of the thousand 294 vehicles delivered in this administration, 631 belong to the Ministry of Public Security and 663 to the municipalities between patrols and medical transport vehicles; that is why there is often the presence of both state, municipal and federal police in the 106 municipalities of Yucatan and on state highways.

On this occasion, he said, the municipalities of Conkal, Chemax, Chumayel, Espita, Hunucmá, Izamal, Kanasín, Maní, Maxcanú, Opichén, Oxkutzcab, Progreso, Río Lagartos, Tekal de Venegas, Tekax, Tetiz, Timucuy, Tinum, Tixméhuac, Tixkokob, Tizimín, Umán and Valladolid received equipment.

Saidén Ojeda recalled that there are one thousand 895 cameras working from the C5i to have greater security in their municipalities.

"You know that previously there were no cameras in the municipalities and today the governor's instruction was that the municipalities will have the video surveillance infrastructure to make them safer every day. It is the constitutional obligation of each municipality to guarantee the safety and heritage of its inhabitants, however, the state government has always provided security and support to the municipalities to guarantee the lives of all citizens who inhabit or visit our state," he concluded.

"Sacred puppy" from Chichén has found a home: "He will be a child of the house," says his new owner

Cultur makes a call for the adoption of the other 3 puppies and their mother who are still waiting
Miércoles 13 de Marzo de 2024

Mérida, Yucatán, March 13, 2024. One of the five sacred puppies of Kukulkán (four puppies and the mother), which were rescued by Cultur last January, was adopted today.

The little animal was delivered to his new owner, Javier Méndez Zapata, who lives in Col. Carranza in this city, by Lourdes Durán Leal, president of the Centro de Orientación Perpopolis.

"He will be a child of the house and will be well taken care of," expressed the adopter who showed great happiness to have a new member in his home, whom he will now call "Blue" - at the vet they temporarily named him "jamoncillo" to identify him from the others.

As reported, last January Cultur rescued the mentioned puppies as part of the "Operation Rescue Puppies of Kukulkán," and as always, the institution made them available to the Planned Pethood veterinary clinic, where they were attended to by health professionals. They have all been dewormed, sterilized, and received their first vaccine.

It is important to emphasize the role that corresponds to each of the parties: Cultur rescues the animals, the veterinary clinic attends to them and provides all necessary health services, and the animal protection association, which acts as a temporary home, is responsible for investigating the adopters to ensure a responsible delivery.

Three puppies and their mother are still waiting for adoption! Adopt them!

Having said that, it is important to emphasize that three puppies of approximately three months old (two females and one male) and their mother are still waiting to be adopted. The mother is extremely docile and friendly but also defends her space, so she will be a protective factor for whoever decides to adopt her.

Mauricio Díaz Montalvo, general director of Cultur, called on people to adopt these puppies that will bring joy into their lives. "I am sure you will be delighted with these puppies or with the mother, who has perfect coexistence with people," he noted.

Where can you call to request them for adoption?

Those interested can call the following numbers: 9991 523073 or 9991 832064. The requirements are: commitment to responsible ownership of the animal and providing them with a suitable enclosed and roofed space so they don't escape.

Cultur: El Corchito is now officially a '100% Smoke-Free and Emission-Free Space

It's already the fourth one: the other 3 are the Siglo XXI, the Chichén Inn, and the Meteorite Museum
Jueves 22 de Febrero de 2024

Mérida, Yucatán, February 22, 2023. The tourist stop "El Corchito," located in Progreso and managed by Cultur, received today the recognition from the Yucatán Health Services (SSY) as a "100% Smoke-Free and Emission-Free Space."

As reported, this is the fourth distinction that Cultur has achieved, previously obtaining it for the Yucatán Siglo XXI Convention Center, the Chichén Itzá stop, and the Meteorite Museum, also in Progreso.

In a simple event held at the Dzibilchaltún Room of the Siglo XXI, Ms. Mariana Rodríguez Molina, Subdirector of Mental Health at SSY, handed over the corresponding document to the General Director of Cultur, C.P. Mauricio Díaz Montalvo.

During the event, Rodríguez Molina expressed that discussing smoking and its effects always involves referring to serious statistics for health, as science and all modern medicine have shown that "smoking seriously deteriorates health."

Therefore, she added, we are very happy to be here today because Cultur is promoting health promotion through concrete actions so that the buildings it manages are healthier public spaces.

Díaz Montalvo thanked the staff of El Corchito for their effort in obtaining the mentioned distinction for the benefit of the people who work there and the tourists who visit this tourist spot.

"We all understand that we are responsible for ensuring that our recognized buildings remain smoke and emission-free and, if necessary, we can rely on security personnel or the corresponding authorities when we see someone smoking or vaping," he pointed out.

The process

To achieve this recognition, at least 80% of El Corchito's employees received a training session about the damage caused to health by any type of emission and how to act to prevent it in public spaces. Then a "buttathon" (butt collection) was carried out to clean up these polluting effects from the surroundings.

During the event, it was noted that so far Cultur has conducted four "buttathons" as part of the process to obtain recognition. At Siglo XXI, 12,900 residues were collected; at the Chichén Itzá stop 5,125; at the Meteorite Museum 3,750; and at El Corchito 1,5625. In total, they add up to 23,300 butts contaminating the soil and subsoil.
