Benito Juárez Deploys Over 200 Police for Buen Fin 2026 Shoppers
Benito Juárez is putting more than 200 Blindar BJ360° officers around malls, stores, banks and parks for Buen Fin 2026. Where patrols go and how to report.
The Benito Juárez borough is sending more than 200 officers from its Blindar BJ360° police program to shopping areas for Buen Fin 2026, the discount event that runs from Nov. 13 to 17. Patrols will cover the areas around the borough’s 19 shopping plazas and its 24 parks, according to the alcaldía (borough government).
Shoppers heading to malls, department stores, supermarkets, restaurants and bank branches in neighborhoods across Benito Juárez can expect more police on foot and in vehicles, from the time stores open until they close.
What it means for shoppers and drivers
The operation was ordered by Mayor Luis Mendoza, who heads the borough. Officers will patrol streets and avenues with heavy foot and car traffic, and the borough says they will watch for double parking and other practices that disrupt traffic. Drivers who leave cars in a second lane outside busy stores during the sales are a stated target of the patrols.
The borough said the officers will work alongside the SSC (Mexico City’s public security ministry) and the private security staff of the shops themselves. Capital CDMX reported that the stated aim is to protect the safety and property of shoppers, workers and merchants during the days of promotions.
Mendoza said many people come to Benito Juárez during Buen Fin to shop and to spend time in the borough. He said the Blindar BJ360° police are always alert to prevent crime, according to statements quoted by El Universal and Capital CDMX.
Parks covered during the Revolution Day long weekend
The sales overlap with the long weekend for the 116th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution. The borough said police will keep a presence in all 24 of its parks during the holiday so that families can use them. Capital CDMX reported that this park coverage is meant to handle the extra visitors expected over the break, while the special patrols in commercial areas last through the Buen Fin period.

What the borough asks of residents
Mendoza called on residents and visitors to follow instructions from security staff and from Protección Civil (the civil protection agency). According to Capital CDMX, he also asked people to keep their belongings secure while shopping and to avoid sharing personal information carelessly, to reduce the risk of scams.
How to report a problem
The borough’s Base Blindar BJ360° line is 800 0500 225. It operates 24 hours a day, every day of the week, and takes reports from both residents and visitors during the sales.
