The report states that the Law on public order, social interest, and general observance throughout the national territory aims to regulate the integration, organization, and operation of the National Public Security System.

It also establishes the distribution of powers, coordination, and cooperation among the institutions of the three levels of government that comprise it.

Additionally, it establishes that public security will be a function of the State, in charge of the Federation, the federated entities, and the municipalities, whose purposes are to safeguard the life, rights, integrity, and property of individuals, as well as preserve freedoms, public order, and social peace.
