Security First in Tijuana Mexico

A report compiling statistics and perspectives on safety and security for Mexico’s northern border city of Tijuana, Baja California. Updated through the end of 2012, this document is a useful reference for companies currently doing or looking to do business in Tijuana.

Tijuana is as safe as any modern city in the world today. Increased industrial and manufacturing development coupled with the more than 150,000 people crossing the border every day counter the glorified news reports of crime in the region.

While Mexico has drug violence, the majority of this violence is between drug cartels and is not targeted towards foreign businessmen or civilians. The following presentation and analysis show the latest crime and security trends, as well as comparisons to other major international cities. Many of the most recent figures continue to demonstrate that Tijuana is comparably as safe, if not more, than its global counterparts.
