FEDERAL POLICE  Policía Federal  SAVEZNA POLICIJA

     Savezna policija (Policía Federal Argentina) ima jurisdikciju na cijeloj teritoriji Republike Argentine, sa odjelima u svakoj od pokrajina i sa ovlastima i organizacionom strukturom sličnom onoj koju ima FBI  u SAD-u. Budući da je tako,većinu rutinskih policijskih poslova izvršavaju provincijske policije (ekvivalent državnim policijama u SAD-u). Iznimka je jedino glavni grad, Buenos Aires, gdje savezna policija ima i ulogu lokalne policije.

     The Policía Federal Argentina (PFA; in English Argentine Federal Police) is a nationwide police force, it is the federal police agency of Argentina, with detachments in each of the country's provinces, with a jurisdiction and organization similar to the United States' FBI. Because of this, most routine police work is carried out by the provincial police (equivalent to state police in the United States), with the exception of the capital city of Buenos Aires, where the PFA also assumes the role of the local police.

"HALCON" SPECIAL OPERATION BRIGADE  "SOKOL" BRIGADA ZA SPECIJALNE OPERACIJE

Brigada Especial Operativa Halcón  BEOH

     Brigada za specijalne operacije operacije "Halcon" je pod operativnom kontrolom savezne policije, a direktnom komandom policije Buenos Airesa. Potreba za osnivanjem ovakve jedinice se javila 1978. godine, radi održavanja Svjetskog kupa u nogometu. Vlada je zaključila da bi taj događaj mogle iskoristiti terorističke organizacije, pa se pristupilo formiranju protuterorističke jedinice. Danas, ova jedinica u svojem sastavu ima 75 komandosa, podijeljenih u taktičke grupe od po 15 ljudi. Svaki tim ima dvojcu snajperista, te po jednog medicinara, pregovarača, stručnjaka za eksploziv, stručnjaka za vezu te obavještajca, a uz njih ide i osam specijalaca napadača.

U osnovnom treningu koji je podijeljen na tri dvomjesečna tečaja savladavaju se osnove borbenog gađanja, helikopterskog desanta, padobranstva, minerstva, snajperskih vještina, sakupljanja informacija, borilačkih vještina i ofenzivne vožnje. Jedinica je zadužena i za osiguranje VIP osoba te rješavanje otmica aviona. U sastavu jedinice su mnogi veterani Argentinske vojske.

     The Brigada Especial Operativa Halcón (BEOH; Hawk Special Operations Brigade) is a special oertions division of the Buenos Aires Police in Argentina. Argentina did not possess a viable counter-terrorist capability until 1978, when it hosted the football World Cup. At that time, the federal government accepted the possibility that such a widely-televised event was a likely forum for a terroris incident. The result was the formation of a special counter-terrorist team, the Brigada Halcón. Today, the unit is made up of seventy-five commandos, subdivided into fifteen-man tactical teams. Each team has two snipers, one medic, one negotiator, an EOD expert, a communications specialist, an intelligence specialist, and eight tactical assaulters. Initial training is divided into three two-month stages. Skills such as combat shooting, heliborne insertion, HALO/HAHO parachuting, explosives, sniping, intelligence gathering,martial arts, and offensive driving are covered in this period. The unit also handles VIP protection and is also responsible for hijacked aircraft throughout the nation. While many current members are veterans of the Argentine Army, the Brigada Halcón is under the operational control of the federal police, under the direct command of the Buenos Aires Police Department.
