Rio State Prepares Pilot Reoccupation in Southwest Zone Under STF Order

Deployment awaits intergovernmental agreement plus STF validation.

Overview

  • A state security diagnosis points to starting in Grande Jacarepaguá’s Rio das Pedras, Muzema and Gardênia Azul, designated as lower-complexity areas for initial operations.
  • Officials describe the zone as strategically contested by Comando Vermelho, militias and Terceiro Comando Puro, with recent instability driving the choice of the pilot area.
  • The plan emphasizes a permanent state presence with public services and urban governance rather than a police-only occupation, drawing on lessons from past efforts.
  • Before execution, the governor must present a detailed project and costs for evaluation by a CNMP working group and subsequent submission to the Supreme Court.
  • The state says it met three ADPF deadlines, including a contract to equip 2,839 police vehicles with cameras by late November, a mental-health program for agents and ambulance support bases for planned operations.
