According to a report issued by the General Office of the Nation (SIGEN, for its acronym in Spanish), approved in 2008, a "superior command" of the Federal Police ordered that the training courses for new agents last only three months, when current regulations indicate that it should be extended to a year.

The Force, for its part, acknowledged this situation affected a single promotion, and "sought to fill the gap with support classes, dictated in the afternoon shift," although, in order to not affect the rest of the academic time load, hours that at first were meant for physical formation of the aspirants.

If workload is concerned, the Federal comprises providing "additional police", which was created in 1957 and allows officers, NCOs and junior officers to work overtime providing security services to neighborhood groups and private entities or the public that hires them. But the SIGEN detected cases of troops that, for the "additional" service, worked 16 hours straight, from four in the afternoon until 8 in the morning the following day. With the "additional police", the Federal adds another income to its budget but, for the Watchdog, the requirement to which the troops are subjected "contradicts the main objective of the rule, which is to avoid that fatigue renders inoperative the police for the length of the service."

On the other hand, the entity verified that of the nine driving simulators that the School of Drivers has, "only four are in working order." The equipment is used for the psychomotor aptitude tests of the aspirants. However, the report adds that "between two or three" police patrolmen of each police station "are not in a position" to be used.

"The distribution of security personnel in police stations is not related to the number of people or to the blocks corresponding to the jurisdiction," says the SIGEN, adding that the allocation of mobiles does not depend on the area to be covered.

As for the investigation of crimes, the control body noted that the computer and technical elements of the Federal Police are outdated. In addition, differences were found between the statistical information that makes the Force in the matter of injuries, and the one that carries the Section Legislation and Engineering of the Department of Transit Police.
