Security and operational certainty are key factors for the business environment in Guanajuato. By 2026, the state’s strategy in this area focuses on strengthening municipal capabilities, protecting productive activity, and preventing crimes that directly impact businesses. Learn all the details.

How Does Guanajuato Protect its Citizens?

According to the budget approved by the State Congress, 200 million pesos will be maintained for the State Public Security Fund, created in 2020 for equipment and training of the 46 municipalities.

According to information from the State Secretariat of Security and Peace, the security policy for 2026 contemplates coordinated actions among the three levels of government, with an emphasis on police training, equipment, and community engagement.

Municipal Reinforcement and Inter-institutional Coordination

Juan Mauro González Martínez, in charge of coordinating these efforts, reported that during 2026, priority will be given to the

of municipal corporations, through training programs and equipment support, particularly in the 46 municipalities of the state.

Among the confirmed actions are the delivery of new units to reinforce police presence, as well as the promotion of collaborative work schemes among state, municipal, and federal forces.

From an institutional perspective, the official stressed that municipal police represent the first point of contact with citizens, making their preparation and actions crucial for improving service in neighborhoods, communities, and productive areas.

CONFIA Strategy and the Business Environment in Guanajuato

For 2026, the CONFIA (Coordinated Operational New State Intelligence Force) Strategy is structured into two main areas that directly affect the business sector:

1. Security and Productive Environment

The strategy contemplates actions to preserve minimal stability conditions to allow for business operations, especially in logistics and industrial sectors:

Surveillance of state highways, with the aim of reducing risks associated with cargo theft and protecting supply chains.
Service and reporting channels, such as the 9-1-1 emergency number, the anonymous line 089, and 800 TECUIDO (800 83 28 436), aimed at reporting crimes that directly affect businesses and companies, such as extortion. These tools are part of the official mechanisms for early response to incidents that impact economic activity.

2. Prevention and Protection for Individuals and Businesses

The Secretariat of Security and Peace also maintains preventive actions linked to the labor and business sphere. In this context, it issued an official alert regarding the increase in false job offers, a modality associated with crimes such as fraud, extortion, and even human trafficking.

Among the main institutional recommendations are:

Verify the legal existence of companies and their tax and digital information.
Be wary of offers with obvious errors, disproportionate salaries, or requests for sensitive information.
Verify web domains, request virtual meetings, and consult official sources before sharing personal data. For these cases, the authority provides the email policiaciberneticafspe@guanajuato.gob.mx, in addition to the already mentioned service lines.

Security as an Economic Variable

According to INEGI data, Guanajuato concentrates a significant portion of the country’s manufacturing activity and logistics, which makes attention to security factors impacting investment, employment, and daily business operations strategic.

In this context, the strategy for 2026 is shaping up as an operational continuity scheme, with adjustments aimed at improving institutional coordination and local response capacity, without modifying the current legal framework.
