Argentina municipal police vehicle upgrades

Entities: Luján · Leonardo Boto · Volkswagen Amarok · Soledad Martínez · Vicente López (municipality)

Overview

In late July 2026 Argentine local authorities continued a wave of police equipment modernization. The city of Vicente López introduced hybrid‑powered armored patrol cars equipped with cameras, microphones, radios and beacons, linking them to an integrated security network that includes surveillance points and a monitoring centre. A few days later, the district of Luján in Buenos Aires Province received four new Volkswagen Amarok patrol vans as part of the "Luján Alerta 24" public‑security plan, raising its total of recent patrol units to sixteen. Both initiatives aim to expand police presence, shorten emergency response times and boost crime‑prevention capabilities across different jurisdictions in Argentina.
