Santa Cruz police security and traffic enforcement

Overview

The Santa Cruz Police have implemented new security and traffic enforcement measures across the province.

At the Güer Aike checkpoint, authorities introduced vehicle detection technology, including automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) cameras. This system integrates with national security platforms like SIFCOP and miMinseg to identify vehicles associated with judicial alerts or seizure orders, allowing for immediate coordination with judicial authorities.

In parallel, the Santa Cruz Highway Police have reported high rates of driving under the influence during roadside inspections. Data from a recent two-week period showed that 14 out of 19 vehicle impoundments were due to positive blood alcohol levels. In response to these findings, police announced intentions to intensify preventive controls and awareness campaigns to uphold the province’s ‘zero tolerance’ policy under Provincial Law No. 3484.
