Protection and bonus for agents assigned to the south of the country

Published on May 16, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The government presented a proposal to strengthen the security of police forces in conflictive areas of the south, accompanied by salary incentives. The measure seeks to retain personnel in regions with high crime rates, offering an economic bonus and legal protection for their actions.

Tracking systems and vehicle armor for border patrols 🚔

The initiative includes the installation of GPS systems and body cameras in patrol vehicles, connected to a real-time monitoring center. Additionally, it provides for the incorporation of light armor in units assigned to critical routes, with impact sensors and satellite communication to coordinate reinforcements in less than five minutes.

The south bonus: how to survive patrols with functional air conditioning 🧉

Officers celebrated the news, although some veterans pointed out that the real incentive would be having functional air conditioning in the vehicles. The promised bonus is enough for a thermos and a mate, but not for 45 degrees in the shade. Of course, legal protection covers even the use of a water gun.
