Overview

  • Mayor Soledad Martínez inaugurated the Estación de Control Urbano para la Defensa y el Orden, which the municipality presented as fully operational.
  • Operators supervise feeds from over 2,600 cameras that the city says cover more than 85% of the territory and manage 200 Puntos Seguros.
  • The technology stack includes license‑plate readers, thermal cameras and an AI-based detection ring focused on motorcycle-borne offenders.
  • A Unified Dispatch in the building coordinates Patrulla Municipal, SAME, Bomberos, Defensa Civil and Tránsito for real-time incident response.
  • The complex was built by renovating an unused site on Avenida Maipú opposite the Olivos presidential residence, following the recent acquisition of non‑lethal Byrna weapons for patrols.
