Front page headline in todays El Sol de TIjuana newspaper. You would think the story here is the actual crime rate or homicide rate but it's not. No point in beating that dead horse- the Rosartio Beach rates are horrible. The speculation is about who will replace the current Police Chief Carlos Trenti. The full paper edition of El Sol says the new Mayor Silvano Macklis may bring back police Captain Montero, who is now the Baja State Security Secretary. IMHO that would be a good call. I've met him and trust him. Together with SIlvano it's the best chance to take back control.

on the bright side: the street makeover in the downtown tourist zone looks great; even a bike lane (yea, I know...)

Playas de Rosarito.- Hace 10 años se robaban un vehículo y medio por día en Playas de Rosarito, ahora son 8 diarios, criticó el presidente municipal electo, Silvano Abarca Macklis, quien dijo ya tiene al próximo director de la policía municipal y será un agente con experiencia y preparación, pero está analizando si se necesitará o no un secretario de seguridad con perfil militar, pues se requiere "eliminar la relación con los mañosos" y acabar con los homicidios.

"Lo importante es que pongamos toda la experiencia de la policía en un momento dado para terminar con esos dos puntos graves: eliminar la relación con los mañosos, acabar con los homicidios y también terminar con el robo de vehículos que daña mucho a la gente, antes se robaban un vehículo y medio por día, hace 10 años, y ahora se roban 8 por día, yo creo que algo está pasando", destacó.

En entrevista, el próximo presidente municipal de Playas de Rosarito dijo no descartar que al frente de la Secretaría de Seguridad Pública Municipal se tenga un mando militar, pues se requiere disciplina y firmeza, pero lo que es seguro es que un policía municipal en activo, con experiencia y preparación, será quien ocupe el cargo de director de la corporación.

Playas de Rosarito.- Ten years ago there were 1-1/2 vehicles stolen every day in Playas de Rosarito, now there are eight every day, criticized the mayor-elect, Silvano Abarca Macklis, who said he already has selected the next Director of the Municipal Police and he will be a person with experience and preparation, but he is still analyzing if there is a need or not for a Chief of Police with military experience, as it is necessary to "eliminate the connection with criminals," and stop the murders.

"The important thing is that we put all the experience of the police to work to stop two serious issues: eliminate the connections with criminals, and stop the murders and the vehicle thefts that hurt the people so much. Before there were 1-1/2 vehicle thefts per day, 10 years ago, and now eight are stolen per day. I think something is happening," he pointed out.

In an interview, the next mayor of Playas de Rosarito said he could not dismiss that they will have a military officer as chief of police, as it requires discipline and determination, but what is for sure is that an active duty municipal police officer, with experience and preparation, will be the person to occupy the office of police director.
