The University Institute of the Argentine Federal Police (Spanish: Instituto Universitario de la Policía Federal Argentina) is a teaching and research institution created with the purpose of providing higher-level training and improvement to the Argentine Federal Police (AFP).[1] It is located in Buenos Aires.

The Institute provides training to the police force as well as to the rest of Argentina's civilian population.[2][3] It also has various agreements with other police forces and organizations such as Interpol.[4]

History

[edit]

The university dates back to August 2, 1974,[5][6] after it was determined that the creation of a university-level establishment with national validity was necessary. The creation of such an institution was a longstanding need for the AFP, and fulfilling such goals required competent teachers and a technical infrastructure commensurate with the complexity of the activities carried out at previous Argentine police academies. In this way, the UIAFP would become one of the few institutions to provide a constant focus on training and development to members of all security forces, as required by circumstance.

Classes

[edit]

The school offers classes in conflict resolution,[7] mediation,[8] and more. It is divided into separate schools for cadets,[9] police officers,[10] and non-commissioned officers.[11]

Organization

[edit]

The university's management consists of a board of directors and an academic council.[12]
