Jefatura de Policía de Tucumán, Police headquarters and memory site in San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina
The Tucumán Police Headquarters occupies a substantial building on Sarmiento Avenue 800, featuring administrative offices and operational facilities for law enforcement activities.
Between 1974 and 1978, this building functioned as a clandestine detention center during Argentina's military dictatorship, operating under the control of the V Infantry Brigade.
The police headquarters now stands as a designated memorial site under Law 26.691, representing a period of human rights violations in Argentine history.
The building maintains active police operations while providing public services, including emergency response coordination and community safety programs for Tucumán province.
In 2013, the Federal Criminal Court of Tucumán convicted 37 military and police officers for crimes against humanity committed within these walls.
