CAT/OP/ARG/1/Add.1 and pregnant detainees to the Buenos Aires prison service, which has the appropriate treatment facilities. (d) Staffing 110. The Buenos Aires government reported that a policy to increase salaries has been in force since March 2010, giving priority to Buenos Aires police staff on lower pay grades, and aiming to benefit command and general ranks more than administrative staff. In that regard, it reported that in March 2013 police salaries were increased by between 21 and 34 per cent, according to above-mentioned priorities. 111. Furthermore, reforms to staffing were introduced in response to a long-standing complaint of non-commissioned officers that the previous legislative reform had damaged their career prospects more than those of other ranks. The measure reversed by Act No. 14383, approved by the National Executive, involves former principal and major noncommissioned officers, who are currently lieutenants and first lieutenants in the general category or general services, who were promoted to the rank of captain and major, respectively. In addition to greater recognition, this represents a clear improvement in the salaries of almost 14,000 staff. Moreover, under Decree No. 194/11, salary increases have been granted to all major and principal non-commissioned officers in the Buenos Aires Prison Service. 112. Similarly, the provincial authorities reported that these reforms put an end to the staffing crisis in the police and prison system, bringing promotions into line with objective guidelines and allowing 40,000 police officers and 9,000 prison staff to be promoted during the last two years, with the corresponding increases in their salaries. 113. They also reported that the General Directorate for Social Action for the Buenos Aires Prison Service, established by Decree No. 1542/10, was recently made fully operational, with the aim of improving the standard of social services and service staff benefits, responding to a long-standing demand by staff for greater autonomy in the administration of their social contributions. 114. With regard to training, the report from the provincial authorities includes the study programmes of several police training academies, which show that specific human rights training materials are kept at a central facility. 115. Lastly, the provincial authorities reported that police staff receive human rights training as part of the agreement between the Minister of Justice and Security, Ricardo Casal, and the Ombudsman, Carlos Bonicatto. The course on human rights for police staff, currently being taught for the second time this year, and for the second consecutive year, is coordinated by the Human Rights Institute of the National University of La Plata. 2. Conditions of detention 116. The Province of Buenos Aires reported that, without prejudice to the checks carried out by the relevant police department, under Ministry of Justice and Security Decision No. 880/13, the Internal Audit Office, the Under-Secretariat for Operations and the UnderSecretariat for Crime Policy and Judicial Investigations must carry out, within 60 days, a broad survey of authorized police stations, which will provide an opportunity to monitor accommodation conditions and the situation of detainees, as a basis for decisions to be made regarding the future of those stations, bearing in mind the low number of persons detained in them. 20 GE.14-40297
