The old Cessna Citation of the force is mainly used to carry prisoners across the country.
The new Twin Otter is the main acquisition on the fixed wing area in 40 years, received in 2019, boosting considerably the transport capacity of the force, now that they are increasing their operations across the country.
The force received in 2019 a Robinson R-44 that was confiscated, for use on training.
The force still uses its single BK117 for medical evacuation, mainly in the city of Buenos Aires. They also have an EC135 dedicated for this mission.

The H145 meant a big improvement for the force in terms of technology. As with the other EC145 it's used for a wide variety of missions, including patrol, transport, medical evacuation and firefighting.
