Overview
- Patrols cover the 24 kilometers of Avenida General Paz and the Riachuelo bridges, corridors used by about 3.5 million people each day.
- Each unit fields one patrol car, two motorcycles and eight officers, with two vehicle-transport trucks, support cruisers, transit agents and K9 teams.
- Deployment begins with randomized, rotating checkpoints in a progressive rollout coordinated through the Anillo Digital, the Urban Monitoring Center and the city camera network using crime and traffic data.
- Duties include identifying vehicles and people, detecting weapons or drugs, locating wanted individuals and enforcing traffic violations to prevent offenses.
- Jorge Macri presented the measure with security officials as part of the city’s Plan de Seguridad Integral, citing renovations at more than 50 access detachments and data showing roughly 40% of crimes involve non-residents.
