Sumario:This work proposes an initial inquiry into the process of setting up police stations, also called sections or departments, in the city of Buenos Aires. As part of a broader development of the first police configurations that began in the late eighteenth century, here we examine the regulations, resources and territorial divisions that occurred in the 1820s, when the police took on the form of a Department within the framework of the Rivadavia project. We use a vast arch of documents that include the daily police reports, trials and legislation of the period, to analyze the ways in which the dynamics of police stations became an input to the political equipment of territory.
