$6.50

Obsolete embroidered cloth patch for former Policía de Montevideo Cuerpo de Radio Patrulla, D.G.A..
Montevideo Police Radio Patrol Corps, G.D.A..
Pre-2013.
D.G.A. stands for Dirección General de Administración (General Directorate of Administration).

Good condition. Ref: B48.

The Radio Patrol Corps of the Montevideo Police Headquarters was founded in October 1943 with the aim of incorporating mobile radio communication technology into urban patrolling, allowing a rapid deployment that traditional sections on foot or on horseback could not achieve.
It is the elite unit for immediate emergency response in Uruguay's capital.
Designed as the support arm of the Directorate of Investigations and the neighborhood police stations. Its agents are the "First response" in critical calls, handling everything from shootings and chases to assistance in emergencies.
In May 2013, under the management of the Chief of Police of Montevideo, the centralized Radio Patrulla unit was decentralized and divided across four separate operational zones throughout Montevideo to place personnel closer to the neighborhoods and lower emergency response times.
Although the historical name continues to resonate in Uruguayan culture, the Corps as a centralized entity ceased to formally operate on 15 May 2013.
