Overview
- Security Minister Patricia Bullrich announced the renaming during a ceremony at the Plaza de Armas of the PFA Cadet School.
- The officer training institute will again be called Coronel Ramón Falcón, and the subofficer school will carry the name Comisario General Alberto Villar.
- The decision reverses a 2011 change instituted by then–security minister Nilda Garré and replaces the Cadet School’s current designation honoring Juan Ángel Pirker.
- Bullrich said she was instructing the PFA chief to “return the truth,” presenting the change as a non‑negotiable value within a broader institutional overhaul.
- Falcón led the police in the early 1900s before being killed in 1909 by anarchist Simón Radowitzky, while Villar, then PFA chief, was killed in 1974 in a Montoneros bombing.
