"The result in homicides that we've had over these months is very significant, Sheinbaum said, adding that last month saw the lowest number of murders for any November in the past 10 years."
"There is a strategy, there is monitoring of the strategy, and there is specific monitoring municipality by municipality in some cases, said the Mexican leader during a press conference in August. The strategy works. And we have to keep working at it every day."

Average daily killings per month in Mexico dropped 37% since President Claudia Sheinbaum took office, falling from almost 87 to nearly 55 murders per day in November. November recorded the lowest number of murders for any November in the past ten years. Mexico's murder total peaked at 36,773 in 2020 and declined to 33,550 last year. The national security plan emphasizes strengthening the national guard, improving intelligence and investigations, and increasing inter-agency coordination with municipality-level monitoring. Security analysts caution that falling homicide figures may not indicate improved security given increases in other crimes like forced disappearances.
