Security Ministry Formalizes Professional Investigator Career in Federal Police

The move advances a modernization plan before Patricia Bullrich departs the ministry next month.

Overview

  • Resolution 1291/2025 was published in the Boletín Oficial, creating the Carrera de Investigadores Profesionales within the Policía Federal Argentina.
  • Eligible applicants must be Argentine nationals with university degrees in strategic fields, be up to 40 years old with limited exceptions, and show spotless professional conduct and certified psychophysical fitness.
  • Candidates must clear psychotechnical, health, socio‑environmental, and criminal background checks that also cover family or cohabitants.
  • Those admitted receive alta en comisión as Subinspectores and complete nine months of training that combines an IUPFA postgraduate program with police instruction, with uniform and weapon use authorized only after graduation.
  • An Interinstitutional Selection Committee will set vacancies and admission protocols as the PFA designs curricula and publicizes the regime, while a parallel nine‑month Jerarquización program promotes qualified subalterns to Ayudante, with graduates assigned to DFI units based on operational needs.
