Governor Juan Pablo Valdés led the ceremony in Costanera Sur for the 55th anniversary of the Policía de Corrientes and reaffirmed the continuity of provincial support to the force. The official message emphasized training, equipment, technology, and infrastructure as key points to improve prevention and response to crime, although it did not include specific amounts, purchases, or timelines.
The ceremony combined institutional recognition with a definition of the profile that the Government seeks to consolidate. Valdés asked the officers to preserve pride in the uniform and linked that identity with citizens' trust. He also set forth the goal of moving toward a more professional, modern, equipped, and approachable Police, with technology as a tool to anticipate criminal situations.
The Minister of Security, Adán Gaya, assessed the structure by pointing out that more than 9,000 police officers work in different points of the province. His speech maintained that modernization must be accompanied by ongoing training and improvements in logistics and facilities. Those guidelines express a political orientation for the institution, but the event did not present a new program with quantified goals or an execution schedule.
The head of the provincial Police, Miguel Ángel Leguizamón, thanked the government support and added transparency to the expected characteristics of the force. Both he and the governor paid tribute to the officers who died in the line of duty. The commemoration thus placed the memory of the personnel within an agenda aimed at combining service, professionalization, and closeness with the community.
The event began with the presentation of the special unit "August 9" and the performance of the National Anthem by the Police Music Band. Afterwards, there was a religious invocation and acknowledgments to officers for their service. The closing consisted of a civic-institutional parade with delegations from security forces and organizations linked to public response.
Representatives from Liceo Militar Almirante Storni, the Chaco Police, Gendarmería Nacional, Policía Federal, Prefectura Naval, Servicio Penitenciario, Policía de Seguridad Aeroportuaria, Veteranos de Malvinas, and Bomberos Voluntarios participated. The anniversary left a political promise of continuity in investment, not a finalized budget announcement. Its fulfillment will have to be measured in future decisions regarding training, equipment, technology, infrastructure, and logistics for the more than 9,000 members of the force.
