The Buenos Aires City Police was officially created on 9 January 1880. The new force was established during a time when the capital was undergoing rapid growth. Authorities needed a more organized system to manage public safety and urban challenges. The institution introduced modern policing practices, including training programs and standardized procedures. Its formation helped stabilize the city during politically active years. The police force became a model for other regions seeking to strengthen local security institutions. It remains central to public order in the capital.
