Acre Military Police equipment modernization

Overview

The Military Police of Acre (PMAC) has initiated a modernization effort to replace older equipment with new Glock 9mm pistols. The process began with training for over 200 officers from the 6th Battalion in Cruzeiro do Sul, focusing on practical instruction and live firing exercises.

As the initiative progressed, the PMAC moved toward the final distribution of 2,223 pistols. This total includes 1,055 weapons purchased with PMAC funds and 1,168 acquired through a partnership with the State Secretariat of Justice and Public Security (Sejusp). To support this rollout, the institution has implemented comprehensive training covering theoretical lessons and dynamic shooting techniques at various specialized facilities. The distribution is being conducted gradually across operational units, with plans to expand to battalions in the state's interior.
