Overview
- Security Minister Pablo Cococcioni outlined free, comprehensive mental-health coverage for police and their families, including treatment and medications, with implementation starting immediately and further steps rolling out gradually.
- New supplements include 500,000 pesos monthly for street duty in prioritized cities, 250,000 pesos for patrol vehicle drivers across the province, and 250,000 pesos for street duty in specified departmental localities, with existing bonuses preserved.
- Transport support will expand with more routes and higher frequencies for free travel, which officials say already costs about 1 billion pesos per month; the province will also guarantee lodging in Rosario and Santa Fe and is studying rent support for those who relocate.
- The police food card doubles to 160,000 pesos per month, the OSPE hour rises from 5,500 to 8,000 pesos, and the high‑risk additional increases from 11,000 to 21,000 pesos; ministry examples put entry‑level totals between 1.65 million and 2.7 million pesos depending on role.
- Authorities say protests did not interrupt operability or 911 response, and the package follows the on‑site suicide of subofficer Oscar Valdez that spotlighted mental‑health pressures and long‑distance postings within the force.
