Brazilian municipal guards modernization

Overview

Municipal guards in Brazilian cities are undergoing modernization through the acquisition of firearms and specialized training.

In Colombo, the Municipal Guard received an initial batch of Glock 9mm pistols, ammunition, and maintenance equipment as part of a R$ 440,000 investment. This initiative, overseen by Mayor Helder Lazarotto and Commander Thiago Skau, includes technical training to ensure agents follow safety and technical procedures.

Similarly, in Juiz de Fora, the Municipal Guard has transitioned to armed operations following a R$ 1.2 million public security investment. Under Mayor Margarida Salomão, 87 agents were authorized to carry 9mm pistols after completing psychological, toxicological, and practical shooting training required by the Federal Police. The project aims to serve as a deterrent to transgressors and increase officer safety.
