Jorge Mario Eastman stated that the Public Force can improve its performance without necessarily increasing its budget or personnel. According to the official, what is needed is better coordination between the different security institutions.

Eastman emphasised that reorganisation and coordinated work between agencies is more effective than additional investment in human and financial resources to strengthen operational capabilities.
