FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What security risks exist in El Salvador?
El Salvador has undergone a dramatic security transformation under President Bukele’s gang crackdown. Previously one of the world’s most dangerous countries, murder rates have dropped 70%+. However, a state of emergency is ongoing, some gang presence remains, and travel outside San Salvador requires assessment.
Do I need armed protection in El Salvador?
Currently less necessary than in the past due to security improvements. Recommended for: high-profile executives, travel outside San Salvador, and visits to former gang-controlled areas. Assess current conditions before each trip.
What armor level vehicles are needed in El Salvador?
NIJ HG1-HG2 is adequate for most current travel, given improved security. NIJ RF1 available for enhanced protection. The situation has improved dramatically, but precautions are still warranted.
