Editing 1969 San Nicolás police crisis (section)

== Police review and aftermath ==

Reports of the pursuit reached Jan Paap while the search was still underway. After learning about the conflicting orders and the shooting of the Buenos Aires police car, he described the police involved as "a pack of uniformed swine". Paap demanded written reports showing how orders had passed through each command and later summoned senior police commanders for questioning. The officer who had authorized the fire on the Buenos Aires police car was executed on Paap's order.<ref name="ordnungspolizei-history"/>

Paap then ordered a formal review of policing in Argentina. The review examined the provincial and federal command structures that had responded at San Nicolás and identified where their authority overlapped. After receiving its findings, Paap ordered preparations for a single central uniformed police organization.<ref name="ordnungspolizei-history"/>

On 15 April 1970, Paap issued a Führerbefehl creating the Ordnungspolizei. [[Rodolfo Barrenechea]], previously a senior officer in the [[Policía Federal Argentina]], was appointed General der Polizei and became the first [[Chef der Ordnungspolizei]].<ref name="ordnungspolizei-history"/>
