The Minister of Security presented an unprecedented modernization plan that includes vests, drones, shotguns, motorcycles, and vehicles for transporting detainees
The initiative is part of the Security and Order Doctrine established by the National Government, which seeks to consolidate the State's presence against organized crime and provide support to the forces that protect citizens.
The Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, led the delivery of a historic re-equipment plan for the Federal Forces, accompanied by a simulation of anti-riot practices. The investment, exceeding USD 4.2 million and ARS 8.8 billion, strengthens the "zero tolerance for crime" policy promoted by President Javier Milei.
"With determination, decisiveness, and proven management, we are carrying out concrete actions that mark a turning point. Real security, not speeches", stated Bullrich, emphasizing that each investment is also a message of firmness to those who threaten social peace.
Unprecedented equipment and modernization
The plan marks a qualitative leap in infrastructure and technology, with acquisitions that multiply the State's operational capacity against crime. Among the most notable reinforcements are:
3,375 ballistic underclothing vests (the last purchase was in 2019 with only 150 units, a 22x increase).
4,050 12/70 gauge shotguns (last purchase in 2018 with 50 units, an 80x increase).
81 high-displacement motorcycles, the first acquisition of this type in the history of the Forces.
69 next-generation drones, an unprecedented incorporation of unmanned technology.
13 detainee transport vehicles, certified under CNRT standards.
Tactical and protective equipment, last purchased in 2018.

With this equipment, greater effectiveness is expected in the prevention and control of crimes, as well as a reinforcement in the response capacity to disturbances and criminal organizations.
"Today, Argentines will feel safer because the Federal Forces will be more modernized and equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to protect them from disorder and mafias", concluded the minister.
