In Argentina, various legal and social issues involving law enforcement and personnel have emerged. In Tierra del Fuego, retired police officers have established a permanent tent to protest 15 months of partial non-payment of pension benefits. 

In El Calafate, a judicial investigation into over 60 police officers for alleged dereliction of duty during a 50-day salary protest is stalling due to insufficient evidence. Meanwhile, in Salta, an investigation has expanded into a corruption scandal involving an officer accused of accepting bribes for institutional benefits. In San Juan, a prison officer was sentenced to four years in prison for defrauding colleagues through fraudulent investment schemes.
