When the sirens that accompanied the protest went off and the "blue" pickets were dismantled in front of the Buenos Aires Police offices, the task of making calculations and percentages began to find out what the concrete impact of the salary increase announcements announced by Axel Kicillof will be. .
The governor reported that "39,512 police officers will collect 44,000 net pesos."
That is the number of agents that lagged the furthest behind on the pay scale.
But how much does that amount represent in current salary?
Who is included and how does it affect the rest of the staff?
All the details must be published in the liquidation instructions of the Security Ministry and until Thursday afternoon there were no details that would allow to determine with precision each pocket salary of the different ranks of the force.
However, official sources told
Clarín
that the increase on the current out-of-pocket remuneration for all hierarchies will be
up to 19.6%
.
In this way, the police officer (first rung of the pyramid) will go from $ 36,785 to $ 44,000.
To this is added the improvement announced by Kicillof in the concept of "clothing purchase": it goes from $ 1,130 to $ 5,000 per month.
In this way, that same agent will collect $ 49,000, which represents 26.2% in relation to the remuneration he received when the protest began.

Before continuing with the detail, another asterisk is necessary: the almost 93 thousand men and women of the command group of the Police of the Province will see these new contributions in their bank accounts
on the first business day of November
.
It is that by law, the members of the armed institution give the first month of salary improvement to the Social Security and Services Fund, which manages the withdrawals and retirements.
In the settlement instructions it will be known if the supplements will be received next month.
If so, there would be an effective change in what goes into staff pockets.
In addition to the increase for the purchase of uniforms, the government announced that the value of the "cores" (compensation for service surcharge) will triple:
from $ 40 to $ 120 per hour
.
Kicillof explained that "the agent who works additional hours will charge over 60 thousand pesos."
To reach this sum, the officer must add to the 48 hours per week that he complies with by law, an additional 91.
That is, four more hours of daily activity.
Another witness case.
The sub-inspector officer, or the second lieutenant (with more than 14 years of seniority), will go from $ 44,300 to $ 52,980 salary (19.6%), plus the $ 5,000 for uniform ($ 57,980).
If this uniformed man performs the same amount of additional work hours (91 per month), he can reach $ 68,980.
Higher up the command pyramid, a senior officer or deputy commissioner;
With a monthly payment close to $ 68,000, he will receive $ 81,500 on the receipt in addition to the $ 5,000 supplement for clothing: $ 86,500.

Almost at the peak of the police career, the senior commissioner would go from $ 94,500 to $ 113,000 and the general commissioner (there are just over 40 in activity in that line) will have a credit of $ 158,800 (so far his settlement is $ 132,800 ).
The highest hierarchy is the superintendent (only 25 bosses exhibit those milestones in strength), which will go from $ 158,800 to $ 189,900 per month.
Police personnel had the last general increase in November 2019. This year, like all state personnel in Buenos Aires, the government granted them a fixed remuneration of $ 4,000.
The receipt of an agent of the Bonaerense has discounts for more than 25%: 18% for the Social Security Fund, 4.8% for IOMA, 1% for the “financial aid fund” and 1.5% of the Social services.
This scheme will also replicate in the assets of the campus that belongs to the Buenos Aires Penitentiary Service (SPB), according to the advance that Kicillof made this noon in the Government.
