Santa Fe Launches Lince AI Camera Tender as Pullaro Fast-Tracks Police Hubs and Recreo Prison

The plan pairs AI surveillance with new facilities to speed investigations and relieve detainee overflow.

Overview

  • Pullaro opened the tender for the Lince video-surveillance system in Santa Fe with an official budget of about US$32.1 million, receiving a technical offer from NEC Argentina and setting an eight‑month execution window.
  • The project adds 2,000 AI‑enabled cameras to roughly 600 existing units, with a target of about 2,600 cameras and 1,250 monitored points citywide by year’s end, plus new fiber rings linking 500 sites.
  • Lince includes facial recognition, license‑plate reading and rapid search tools designed to reconstruct routes and accelerate evidence gathering, with integration paths for private camera networks.
  • The governor said the new Recreo penitentiary is expected to open with inmates in the first quarter to decongest police stations, alongside three new Police Stations under construction in the capital.
  • Pullaro pledged pay rises for security forces and public employees that will not trail inflation, while maintaining funding for security infrastructure as patrol capacity, response times and daily identifications show marked gains.
