The government has authorized the use of non-lethal weapons

The Ministry of Security has today regulated the use of non-lethal electronic weapons by members of the Federal Police and Security Forces.

The measure was commissioned by Resolution 395/2019, published in the Official Journal and signed by Minister Patricia Bullrich, and comes after the announcement by the portfolio, last January, of the purchase of Taser guns at use at early railway stations and airports.

In this context, officials from the Federal Police, the airport security police, the Navy Prefecture and the National Gendarmerie were tasked "to immediately implement training courses specific to the use of non-lethal electronic weapons. "
