MAGLIA, Elea  y  DIKENSTEIN, Violeta. The Pólice of the City of Buenos Aires: Official speech, tensions and divergences around the configuration of a new police force. Trab. soc. [online]. 2019, n.32, pp.231-251. ISSN 1514-6871.

On January 1, 2017, the agreement between the National State and the City of Buenos Aires materializes. This agreement purposes a gradual and progressive transfer of personnel, competencies, services and tangible and intangible resources of the Argentine Federal Police related to not federal matters, to the area of the city. Therefore, the Police of the City of Buenos Aires is born. More than a year after its creation, in this work we propose to analyze the configuration of the new police force from two aspects. From a qualitative approach, based on in-depth interviews, participant observation in institutional acts and normative analysis, we focus, on the one hand, on the way in which this force is presented and defined from the official discourse, that is, from the normative, the institutional acts and the interpretations of officials of the executive power of the City. On the other hand, we analyze the way in which this conjunction of two different institutions is lived bureaucratic and affective, from the perspective of the transferred police personnel and those who remained in the federal sphere.

Palabras clave : technology; transfer; official voice; city police.
