Scioli signs decree for Buenos Aires municipal police forces

The governor of Buenos Aires province, Daniel Scioli, today signed a decree instructing Security minister Alejandro Granados to create a Local Security Superintendency, which will clear the way for municipal police forces in the region after a fierce legislative battle.

Scioli’s move occurred after the provincial Senate once more sent the bill that sought to create communal police forces in districts of more than 70,000 inhabitants to commission, with the goal of striking an agreement between Victory Front and Renewal Front politicians to approve the project.
