What is the difference between la policia and el policia

Here we will focus on some similarities that we find among the UPPL of two cities of Greater Buenos Aires in which we carried out field work. In both locations we find that the police officers mark the same elements as characteristic of their work: they are a law enforcement agency for prevention and proximity, their job is permanent, is learnt in the practice, there are differences between the tasks done in the streets and those more administrative done in the police station and, finally, a similar way of understanding the relation with their fire arms.

Also another thing that all the UPPL have in common is that they don't have a rigid and vertical hierarchical system. The considerations set forth in this article are the product of a field work that consisted of interviews with officers and chiefs of the UPPL as well as the authorities of the security area of the two cities.

Please note that, if not ratified and signed by the complainant at the police premises, the complaint will not meet the legal requirements and will, therefore, not be valid.
