Aviation security Available
Policía Aérea Nacional (PAN)
Uruguay's National Air Police (Policía Aérea Nacional, Ministry of the Interior / FAU) is the institution responsible for airport security, access control, and passenger/baggage screening at Uruguay's international/binational airports. Spanish Wikipedia's entry for Rivera airport independently corroborates on-site police facilities (installations for firefighters and police). PAN's own institutional page (pan.fau.mil.uy) could not be directly accessed (TLS certificate mismatch), so the specific "since 2004" claim is carried over unconfirmed rather than independently verified. A previously drafted claim about a 2026 Ministry of the Interior announcement of a new permanent Aviación Policial base at Rivera could not be corroborated in any source found (Ministry of Interior news search, multiple search engines) and has been removed as unverifiable. · H24 (per AIP SURV AD 2.13-3, Seguridad: H24 — not independently re-verified against primary AIP PDF)
