Nayarit achieves 71.8 percent drop in intentional homicides

Nayarit, a state in Mexico, saw a 71.8 percent decrease in its average daily rate of intentional homicides between January and October 2026.

President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo announced these figures during a morning conference to review national security indicators. The Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System reported that the state ranked second in the country for this reduction compared to the same period in the previous year.

Officials attribute these results to the cooperation between federal and state institutions. Governor Miguel Ángel Navarro Quintero praised the security forces for their work and emphasized the importance of a joint strategy to prevent crime. He stated that institutional coordination allowed authorities to increase their presence in different regions of Nayarit to restore peace to local communities.

The state government plans to maintain these coordinated efforts with federal authorities to sustain the current progress and improve safety for families in the region.
