During this week’s City Council session, Mayor Rocío Adame placed the legal rights of stalled police personnel at the forefront while advancing key initiatives on public works, tourism, and urban development.
The meeting, which covered 17 agenda items and five general matters, was defined by the mayor’s direct intervention in dozens of unresolved cases involving police officers whose files have been stuck in the administrative process required under the Public Security Law—effectively denying them due process.
“Nothing is above the law,” the mayor said, ordering that all agents be guaranteed their right to a hearing, transparency, and a fair legal process.
Citing years of inaction from the Honor and Justice Commission, the body responsible for handling these cases since 2010, the mayor issued a series of instructions:
- An extraordinary session of the Honor and Justice Commission will be held next Tuesday at 4 p.m.
- Mandatory attendance is required for the Municipal Auditor, the C3, and all commission members.
- All case files must be presented, including those previously submitted and those still pending review.
Several officers, the mayor noted, have seen their professional and family stability jeopardized by prolonged delays. “We must give them the certainty that they will be heard. It is our legal and moral obligation.”
The move is widely viewed as an effort to reestablish legal order within the department and ensure that all procedures are carried out as the law mandates.
Beyond public security, the Council also advanced several major initiatives:
- A reform to the Municipal Cadastre Regulations was approved to modernize procedures and strengthen legal certainty for property owners.
- A proposal was introduced to create a more inclusive and consolidated Tourism Advisory Council, incorporating tourism, cultural, artistic, and Indigenous sectors and aligning its work with the Sectoral Program for Tourism Development to ensure long-term continuity.
- Council members began updating transparency regulations to reflect new institutional structures, reaffirming commitments to accountability and citizen participation.
The meeting concluded with Mayor Rocío Adame and City Hall reiterating their commitment to transparent governance, institutional strengthening, and responsible management of all municipal matters—from public works to police oversight—with strict adherence to the law.
