ETS Security Overview - Mexico

 

Mexico is a diverse country with rich cultural, historical, and natural attractions, making it one of the top global tourist destinations. While many regions of Mexico are safe for travelers, the country faces significant security challenges, particularly in areas affected by organized crime and drug cartel activity. Violence related to cartel conflicts, as well as crime, can impact both residents and visitors. However, the risks vary greatly depending on the region. More than ever before, business travelers unaware of the risk distinctions from district to district, and neighborhood to neighborhood are either placing themselves at unprecedented risk or missing out on closing deals in places where the risk is manageable. Click here to learn more about Mexico Risk and Security.

Mexicali, the capital city of Baja California in Mexico, is an important commercial and industrial hub located near the U.S. border, adjacent to Calexico, California. While Mexicali is considered one of the lower risk border cities compared to others in the region, it faces challenges related to crime, organized crime, and environmental hazards. 

Organized crime is a concern in Baja California, and while Mexicali is not as severely affected as Tijuana or other border cities, drug trafficking, human trafficking, and cartel-related activity still pose risks. The Sinaloa Cartel and other criminal organizations operate in the region, using Mexicali as a smuggling route to the United States. While tourists are not generally targeted by cartels, they can become collateral in criminal violence, particularly in border areas. Travelers should avoid engaging in illegal activities or being present in high-risk areas known for cartel presence. 

While Mexicali is generally safer than other border cities like Tijuana or Ciudad Juárez, violent crime, including robbery and assault, can still occur. Criminal activity tends to increase in areas away from the city center and near the border at night. Petty crime, such as pickpocketing, bag-snatching, and theft, is a concern in Mexicali, especially in crowded areas such as shopping centers, bus stations, and near the U.S. border. Tourists and expatriates are often targeted for petty theft due to their perceived wealth. Visitors should take precautions by keeping valuables secure, avoiding the display of expensive items, and being cautious in busy or tourist-heavy areas.

Road conditions in Mexicali are generally good, especially in the city center and main thoroughfares. However, rural roads in Baja California can be poorly maintained, with potholes and limited signage. Driving outside of Mexicali, particularly at night, can be risky due to the potential for accidents, vehicle breakdowns, and occasional criminal activity. Public transportation options in Mexicali include buses and taxis. While public buses are widely used by locals, they may not meet international safety standards and are not recommended for tourists due to the risk of petty theft.
