With a total of 188,453 vehicles recorded during this period, the operations effectively managed the increased mobility typical of the summer months.

Key Achievements

Throughout the summer, authorities maintained a constant presence across 36 beaches, including 21 in La Paz and 15 in its delegations. Daily patrols and surveillance activities were conducted by 24 personnel and six official units, resulting in zero fatalities and no pre-hospital care incidents reported on the beaches. The operations included 92 patrols and 30 surveillance rounds, demonstrating a commitment to public safety.

"We are pleased to report that our efforts have resulted in a safe environment for everyone enjoying our beautiful beaches,"

stated a local official.

In addition to the beach operations, a significant focus was placed on road safety. A total of 51 official units and 108 personnel were deployed to monitor traffic and ensure safe travel for beachgoers. This included the implementation of a carousel operation from Playa El Tecolote to the coastal boardwalk, where 2,048 vehicles were counted to help manage speeds and promote orderly transport.

Incident Reports and Coordination

Despite the successful outcomes, there were two reported traffic accidents resulting in five injuries and two thefts on the beaches. However, the absence of fatalities highlighted the effectiveness of the coordinated efforts among various agencies.
