Governor Rogelio Frigerio led the inauguration of a modern monitoring center and new facilities for the police force in Concordia, a project that required an investment of over 70 million pesos and is intended to strengthen operational capacity, optimize institutional resources, and improve the well-being of police personnel.
Within the framework of the visit, in addition to meeting with the mayor of Concordia, Francisco Azcué, Frigerio toured the Concordia-Salto Border Center and examined the technological equipment and security systems, among other assets, which were acquired as part of the Coordinated Border Management component of the Salto Grande Region Development and Integration Program. He also visited the company El Detalle amoblamientos, which was a beneficiary of the Salto Grande Multisectoral Fund, another component of the same Program that manages economic resources to support companies and improve their productivity.
The governor highlighted that the monitoring center is the result of joint work between the provincial government and the municipality. "This started as an idea in 2013 and today the possibility of having a monitoring center that meets current needs is becoming a reality," the governor stated, emphasizing that the initiative seeks to allow citizens to "live more peacefully, with more tranquility" through the use of cutting-edge tools.
For the incorporation of new technological equipment, and the remodeling and building adaptation of the Concordia Departmental Headquarters, more than 70 million pesos were invested, which included new buildings for the Radioelectric Command and Monitoring and Video Surveillance Room sections, Corps and Guard, and Tailoring.
Together with the Chief of the Entre Ríos Police, Claudio González, and the departmental chief, José María Rosatelli, Frigerio detailed that the investment in security is manifested in a professionalized 911 system that initially has 200 surveillance cameras, with projections to continue growing. Frigerio explained that the central objective is "to use the technology that is within reach, precisely to bring more security to the population." He said that the use of this monitoring is fundamental not only to prevent crime, but also to "elucidate criminal acts" more efficiently, complemented by the incorporation of multiple telephone lines to optimize the reception of reports.
Likewise, he referred to the inauguration of places "that contribute to another of our mottos, which is to take care of those who take care of us. They took me to visit today what are the police facilities, the place where those on duty can sleep, a dining room, a recreation room. Before, none of that existed," Frigerio pointed out when comparing the new facilities with the old monitoring center: "A very nice place. I think this is the way forward," he added.
Asked about penitentiary works, Frigerio announced that "in these days we are starting the expansion work of the Federal prison, and we are working with the provincial Ministry of Security and the national government to advance house arrest for non-violent crimes."
Frigerio concluded by reaffirming his commitment to maintain provincial security levels through constant equipment: "We have to equip our police with investment and we have been doing that since the first day of our administration."
For his part, Mayor Francisco Azcué highlighted the work of the Police regarding raids, arrests, and other actions. "The work of the Police is very good and that is seen on the street. There is much to do, but in these years progress has been made."
