Chubut Governor Announces Unified Command for Rivadavia, Plans Expansion
Governor Torres Aims to Strengthen Security and Improve Coordination
On Monday, December 2nd, Governor Ignacio “Nacho” Torres of Chubut province proudly announced the implementation of a unified command system for Commodore Rivadavia. This initiative, he explained, marks a significant step in the province’s ongoing strategy to combat crime effectively. The announcement came during a press conference attended by Patricia Burridge, the nation’s Minister of National Security.
“This is a response to something innovative. It is a twinning relationship between neighboring provinces that share similarities and the need to work together to win the fight against crime,” Torres stated.
Torres expressed his “pride” in the unified command’s implementation, highlighting the crucial role of the Chubut police. He acknowledged the challenges faced by the force, stating that they “for too long have been downgraded and do not have basic necessities.” With determination, the Governor declared, “Our goal today is to make this police force one of the best in Argentina, with a mission to serve and care for those who care about us.”
This initiative builds upon the success of the unified command model previously deployed in Trelew and the lower Chubut River valley, which Governor Torres described as a “success story.” He emphasized that the goal of this approach is to “resolutely fight crime” while ensuring the optimization of resources and boosting coordination among various security forces.
“The political will of our management is clear: win the fight against crime in Chubut province. When these forces work together, the results are clear,” Torres affirmed.
Looking ahead, Governor Torres expressed his intention to extend the unified command system to other cities across Chubut province.
