Milei led the promotion ceremony for senior officers of the Prefecture, Federal Police, Gendarmerie, PSA, and SPF in the White Hall of the Casa Rosada
The presence of Milei and Bullrich confirms the political decision to strengthen the forces, provide them with more equipment, improve interagency coordination, and maintain a clear framework of authority, aligned with the defense of the law and the essential role of the State in security matters.
President Javier Milei presided this morning over one of the most significant events on the institutional calendar: the presentation of sabers and batons of command to the newly promoted senior officers of the various Federal Security Forces. The ceremony, held in the iconic White Hall of the Casa Rosada, brought together the highest authorities in the field and the families of those promoted, reaffirming the symbolic and operational value of those who are responsible for the protection of the State and its citizens.
Security Minister Patricia Bullrich and the chiefs of each force participated: General Commissioner Luis Alejandro Rolle for the Federal Police; General Commander Claudio Miguel Brilloni for the National Gendarmerie; National Naval Prefect Guillermo Giménez Pérez; General Commissioner Alfredo Hernán Gallardo for the PSA; and Inspector General Fernando Martínez, National Director of the Federal Penitentiary Service.
The ceremony not only marked the assumption of new ranks, but also the direction the Government seeks to consolidate: professionalism, discipline, and efficiency in the fight against crime and organized crime. In a complex regional context with growing security challenges, the event aimed to highlight the centrality of the federal forces as pillars of public order.
The promotion of the officers represents recognition of their service and commitment, but also greater responsibility. The Government emphasizes that each new rank is directly linked to more demanding operational standards and to the leadership of teams that must respond effectively to increasingly sophisticated crimes.
The event at the Casa Rosada adds to the set of measures that the Milei administration has been implementing to strengthen the federal security system. The official strategy aims to recover capabilities, streamline procedures, reinforce criminal intelligence, and provide operational and political support to those who serve in the forces.
In the Government's view, the institutional strengthening of the federal bodies is essential to confront phenomena such as drug trafficking, smuggling, transnational organized crime, and trafficking networks. Coordination with provinces and municipalities, as well as ongoing professionalization, are considered key to moving toward a safer country.
In an atmosphere of recognition and solemnity, the ceremony also highlighted the support of the families of the promoted officers, an essential component for those who perform daily high-risk duties.
