The City Police will seek
to reinforce some
Buenos Aires neighborhoods where more crimes are committed.
For this purpose, this Tuesday he presented the Rapid Intervention Deployment Unit, which will have 200 troops and which, in addition to increasing coverage on the streets, will seek to carry out prevention work.
According to sources from the Buenos Aires Government, this unit seeks to strengthen security and aims to increase the presence of police on the street, in order to "acquire a preventive and dissuasive attitude to be able to anticipate crimes," said sources from the Buenos Aires Government.
The Rapid Intervention Deployment Unit is made up of nearly 200 troops who will cover areas where the Crime Map indicates a greater concentration of illicit crimes.
For this, six polygons
were determined
at strategic points, where there will be tours of each of the units.
They will operate in groups of five troops aboard a van and a motorcycle.
In addition, two motorcycles from the Motorized Operations Directorate
will join the patrols .
Regarding the location, City sources said that "they move through different parts of the City. They are dynamic and work based on the crime map."
Another objective is to aim for
repetition.
According to 2022 statistics, 23% of the robberies in the previous three years were committed by people who
had already been previously arrested by the City Police.
"We have
changed the approach,
no one in the city of Buenos Aires is above the law. This was noted both in the marches and in many squares that had already been taken almost historically. We have arrived in the city of Buenos Aires to restore the order," said the head of Government, Jorge Macri.
"This is a rapid action group that begins to tour different communities where we have several problems and will begin to identify all those who are in irregular situations," said the Buenos Aires Minister of Security, Waldo Wolff.
In addition, taking into account the blocks with the highest crime incidence, 25 groups of 3 foot soldiers from the Citizen Security area were deployed to work on crime prevention and maintenance of public order.
"Since we arrived at the Ministry we stated that one of our main objectives was
to increase the presence of troops on the streets
. This measure not only gives us greater security in the neighborhoods, adding more police and patrol officers, but it allows us to be closer to the neighbors to prevent crime more effectively," said the police chief and Secretary of City Security, Diego Kravetz.
