They will be helping with patrolling and maintaining order & security in Cancun’s Hotel Zone, visiting nightclubs and shopping areas especially during the night, to help keep all visitors safe to enjoy their holidays and only worrying about what the plan for tonight is going to be.

‘Police in the Mexican Caribbean resort city of Cancun are stepping up security in preparation for the arrival of thousands of spring breakers from the United States, city officials told Efe.
