That is why officers of the Municipal Police, the Naval Police, Military Police, Federal Police and State Police, perform surveillance tours on Playa del Carmen’s Fifth Avenue in order to ensure the safety of tourists and residents, at bars, restaurants, shops and other commercial establishments, providing timely attention to those who require it, an action that in turn responds to the request made by local businessmen and entrepreneurs.
The head of the office of the Directorate of Preventive Police, Diddier Vázquez Méndez, stressed that this operation was deployed with pedestrian surveillance on Fifth Avenue which is where the largest number of tourits is concentrated; however, it continues alongside the “NIght Owl” (Búho) operation, in which patrols monitor all areas of the municipality in order to prevent any type of criminal act.
