Governor of Buenos Aires Province Axel Kicillof, together with Security Minister Javier Alonso and Lomas de Zamora mayor Federico Otermín, inaugurated a new base of the Unidad Táctica de Operaciones Inmediatas (UTOI) in the municipality of Lomas de Zamora. The facility, located inside the Albertina Water Park, houses more than 100 permanent agents and is equipped with modern patrol vehicles, cameras and artificial‑intelligence tools.
