Lieutenant Colonel Takamine assumes command of 28th BPM in Volta Redonda

Lieutenant Colonel Décio Keiji Takamine has assumed command of the 28th Military Police Battalion (BPM) in Volta Redonda, replacing Lieutenant Colonel Amanda Neves Ferreira. The leadership change follows recent episodes of violence in the Vila Brasília region, including confrontations recorded on October 25.

To bolster public security, the city is receiving an influx of resources, including four additional police vehicles, new motorcycles, and at least 16 military police officers dispatched from the state capital. These reinforcements aim to increase police presence in the Vila Brasília Complex and other urban areas. The local government has stated it will continue to demand additional personnel and equipment from the state government to ensure public safety.
