Buenos Aires Province Creates New Polad Categories for Mass Events and Updates Tariffs

The new rates are effective immediately under a formula linked to the provincial salary scale.

Overview

  • Resolution 1774/2025, signed by Security Minister Javier Alonso, was published in the Boletín Oficial and is now in force.
  • It establishes Category 6 for specialized technical and professional tasks such as drone operation, videovigilance and forensic work, and Category 7 for strategic planning, logistical coordination and operational command.
  • The rule defines a mass event as any activity with an estimated attendance of 4,000 or more people in open, closed or semi‑closed venues.
  • Contracting must follow an individualized security plan and may combine categories, with Category 6 limited to 10% of total contracted hours and Category 7 to 15%.
  • The resolution updates the Category 5 tariff and sets calculations for Categories 6 and 7 based on the current salary scale, with press reports indicating the specialized rates are roughly double and triple the Category 5 value.
