Routine Message: Staying Safe in Tijuana with Phone Security Apps
Event: Consulate General Tijuana would like to highlight for U.S. citizen residents and tourists the Tijuana Municipal Police Department’s Emergency Button (Botón de Emergencia) phone application. In the event of an emergency, users can activate the app, which sends the user’s location to the municipal police command center, triggers an operator call, and dispatches police to the location – all while communicating in English or Spanish using AI translation services.

We would also like to remind U.S. citizens and residents of Tijuana’s Purple Button (Botón Morado) phone application. This app is designed to help counter violence against women. If a woman finds herself in a dangerous situation and does not feel safe, she can use this app to request assistance from the Tijuana municipal police.
