Los Cabos Mayor Christian Agúndez Gómez handed over 30 new patrol vehicles to the municipal police force on June 3, expanding coverage across residential neighborhoods, outlying delegations, and tourist zones throughout the municipality.
The delivery ceremony took place with military commanders and representatives from federal, state, and municipal levels of government in attendance. Agúndez said the new fleet will reduce emergency response times and strengthen police presence at strategic locations across both Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo.
Broader Police Reforms Accompany New Fleet
The 30 patrol units are part of a larger package of security reforms announced by the mayor. Agúndez outlined salary increases for both police officers and traffic agents, upgraded facilities for the force, and expanded training and professionalization programs. The municipality also plans to install new surveillance cameras at priority sites.
Los Cabos operates multiple police forces, including the Municipal Police, State Police, and a dedicated Tourist Police unit. The National Guard also patrols beaches, marinas, and other high-traffic areas in the municipality. The new vehicles will bolster the Municipal Police fleet specifically, giving officers faster access to communities spread across the large municipality.
Continued Pattern of Security Investment
The patrol delivery fits into a years-long pattern of security spending in Los Cabos. In 2023, the municipality announced plans to add 300 police officers to its force. By late 2025, another 50 officers were brought on during the holiday season. The municipal government has also increased patrols in the Cabo San Lucas marina area, the hotel corridor between the two towns, and El Médano Beach.
Los Cabos welcomed more than four million tourists in 2024, making security capacity a persistent concern for local officials. The municipality stretches across a wide area that includes dense tourist corridors, spread-out residential colonias, and rural delegations that all require patrol coverage.
No specific budget figure for the 30 vehicles or the broader reform package was provided. The announcement was first reported by the Los Cabos municipal government website.
