Police Kiosks, Montevideo

Police Kiosk, Pocitos

The seafront and beaches of Montevideo have several of these Police kiosks.

This one is in Pocitos while the one below, obviously no longer used by the Police, is in the Ciudad Vieja (Old City).

  1. Those kiosks were useful for a range of activities that didn't require tons of space eg to change into bathers on the beach, to sell icecream, to rent out deckchairs. But how clever it was to have a small police presence with just enough space for some chairs, a cabinet and a thermos. I am impressed :)

  2. I wonder, given the location of the kiosk at an intersection in Pocitos, if they could also be used for traffic control.
