Pax Mondial’s Information Operations Division is now offering risk reporting for travelers and expats in the Mexico-US border region. Clients currently operating or planning to operate within this region can now benefit from the new OVERWATCH: Mexican Border report, which covers the 2,000-mile (3,220-kilometer) frontier between Mexico and the United States, and focuses on the 100-mile (160-kilometer) corridor south from the border, including Tijuana, Ciudad Juarez, and Monterrey.
Corporate, non-governmental, and public sector clients traveling to or operating within this region are likely aware of the deteriorating security situation in parts of Mexico as drug cartels, smuggling groups, kidnapping activity, and violent crimes increasingly threaten travel safety and business continuity. More than 34,000 drug-related deaths have been reported since 2006, while in 2010, some 45% of the 13,000−15,000 murders reported in Mexico occurred in the six states along the border. Additionally, an untold number of incidents go unreported, and violence and criminal activity are generally underreported.
In this potentially hostile environment, clients may be exposed to the mounting risks while traveling and operating in the region, and therefore may find great value in our relevant Information & Analysis and Risk Mitigation services.
The Information Operations Division specializes in actionable, real-time geopolitical and business information and analysis. Contact Info Ops for more information about the OVERWATCH product line, including this report and our international travel safety alerts.
