Beatriz Mora

Beatriz Mora is the mayor of Guácimo, Costa Rica, who has been actively addressing the challenges of crime and violence in her municipality. Recently, she discussed the limitations of her administration's budget, which is insufficient to establish a municipal police force, thus relying on collaborations with the national police and seeking external funding for security measures such as surveillance cameras. Her leadership comes during a time of heightened criminal activity in Guácimo, where illegal groups exert significant control over local businesses.
