Carabinero de la Libertad

The Carabinero de la Libertad was a military police force in Argentina that operated in the early 20th century, primarily responsible for maintaining public order and overseeing prison security. Organized similarly to a military unit, it combined police functions with military discipline, focusing on controlling prisons and suppressing unrest. Their role was crucial for internal security during periods of political instability, but they were often associated with harsh methods. The force was eventually phased out as Argentina developed its civilian police forces and established more modern, professional law enforcement agencies.
