police and other emergency numbers

john m wrote:Crime Prevention:  On March 6th, we spent an hour with the new El Sargento Commandant "Chon" discussing crime in our area. We learned that Mexican law is such that it is difficult to arrest and convict offenders. So we find ourselves in prevention mode: Neighborhood Watch, security systems and local responders (civilians) are all things we can do to make our community safer.  Other items to be aware of:
• There is a new procedure to call the Police. Call the Station Duty Phone: 612-228-9321. When a policeman comes on duty he uses this phone for all calls and then passes it on to the next shift so there is continuity in response.
• Donations are now being accepted for overtime pay and other costs at the front desk at La Ventana Bay Properties in the Plaza del Teso. Your donations will help cover overtime for extra staff on weekends from 10pm-6am and overtime for Chon, who currently is on duty 24hrs Wed-Mon and is not paid overtime.
• VHF radio Channels 6,8 and 16 are for boating emergencies and are monitored by boaters
• Pepper spray can be purchased at the Military installation on Cinco de Mayo in La Paz
• Palapas Ventana donated some funds toward a mobile checkpoint for the south side of town. A trailer was also donated. These are great first steps and hopefully will lead to a safer town for all of us.
• Next Crime Prevention Meeting is Monday at 7pm at La Ventana Grande. All are welcome,

We have a new Commandante from Los Panes named Incarnacion nick-named "Chon". He will be in charge of our area now. His cell number is 612-157-6038. He will be at the Crime Prevention meeting Monday night at 7pm at LaVentana Grande (farmers market location).

IN THE EVENT POLICE ARE NEEDED ..There is ONE number to call...612-114-4062 .. It's to the Los Planes Police station.  They will dispatch the proper authorities.    These are direct numbers for their cells. Jesus Gustavo  044-612-100-8383 //  Virgilio Burgoin 044- 612-104-2522.
We need to report the problem in Spanish with a short sentence and a location.  The police do not know where we live.  Someone needs to meet the police at a prominent location they are familiar with near your property.  That location could be a business (any restaurant, store, resort, gas station).
Make note of something to say in Spanish to report the incident.  For example:
There is a robbery.  Come to my house next to the cemetery  (Hay un robo. Ven a mi casa cerca el cementerio)
There is a robbery.  Come to Club Cerralvo.  (Hay un robo.  Ven a Club Cerralvo)
Go meet the police at that location.  Or ask a neighbor to meet the police truck and bring them to your property.
If there is a gun involved say:  There is a gun or a knife:(Hay un pistola or Hay un cuchillo)
Write this down and have it next to your cell phone or your home phone & in your pocket or purse.

Police, fire, Red Cross and other numbers will migrate to the new number in 2016

The number for a new national emergency phone line will be 911, the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) announced this week.



One single number for all emergency calls was announced last November by President Enrique Peña Nieto as one of a series of measures in response to the Iguala-Ayotzinapa events of September 26 and 27. At the time it was to be 911.
But last April the federal Chamber of Deputies approved legislation to make 066 the official number.

Now 911 is back, and existing emergency numbers will be required to migrate to it. Those include 060 for local police, 061 for state and Federal District judicial police, 065 for the Red Cross, 066 for the national system for citizen emergencies, 068 for fire emergencies and 080 for security and emergency calls.
The new number, for both fixed line and mobile telephones, is to begin operating early next year.
It will be managed by the executive secretariat of the National Public Security System.
Telecommunications service providers will be required to provide free access to the emergency number.
