Security Resources

In Mexico, and especially in Tijuana, official law enforcement sources are suspect at best. As a result, we rely on assets other than official incountry sources. These sources include intelligence gathering by current security details operating in country, as well as independent security companies operating in Mexico.

Violence against foreign nationals in Tijuana is on the rise. Kidnapping for ransom is a highly organized and booming multimillion-dollar business in Mexico, especially in Tijuana. Although Mexican nationals and plant managers are the primary target of kidnappings, more and more foreigners are being targeted. Consequently, the risk to both foreigners and Mexican businessmen is greater than ever. It is important for both foreigners and Mexican executives to be vigilant and proactive in ensuring their safety.
