Jorge Alberto Arizpe Garcia, the Operations Commandant for the Jalisco division of Mexico’s Federal Police, will appear at the Lake Chapala Society on Thursday, February 12, 1 p.m., for an open public presentation focusing on safe travel in the state and surrounding areas. He will offer suggestions on preferable travel routes to various destinations and single out locations to be avoided. The talk will also touch on the history of the Federal Police and their current role in providing safety and enforcement activities in the region.
Arizpe will also be accompanied by Fernanda Cerda Vera, also from the Federal Police, who will alert the community to prevalent scams that have been detected in Jalisco. Among the most notorious incidents are telephone extortion ploys in which a purported relative calls the victim, asking for money to get out of some terrible situation. She will explain how to recognize and protect yourself from these cons.
Everyone is welcome to attend the event and learn more about these timely topics.
